No, that is not a quote from a PSA that Salma Hayek did about the oil spill. It’s from this video, which I’ll just preface by saying that, if you have a list of questions that you have prepared in the event that you ever meet Salma Hayek, you can cross out, “What’s your biggest fear?”. I can tell you right now. Or, rather, show you:
It’s snakes. Her worst fear is clearly snakes.
Well done, Maya Rudolph, for keeping calm under pressure, specifically the pressure of Salma Hayek’s 18 inch heels in her thigh.
I also hope the irony of promoting the film Grown Ups is not lost on any of us. I’m not saying that I’m immune to snake fear. But it is not Hayek in its proportions. It’s just that, if I’m ever in that specific situation, you know, on Extra promoting an ensemble family comedy, I hope to act in a Rudolph-like manner when faced with a rogue snake.
