Salma Hayek Pinault claimed she was 'typecast' in Hollywood as a 'sexy' woman. The actress currently stars in 'Magic Mike's Last Dance' with Channing Tatum.
"I was typecast for a long time," Hayek Pinault told GQ Hype."My entire life I wanted to do comedy, and people wouldn’t give me comedies. I couldn’t land a role until I met Adam Sandler, who put me in a comedy, but I was in my forties! They said, ‘You’re sexy, so you’re not allowed to have a sense of humor.'"
The"Wild Wild West" actress said she was upset at the time, but noted she was also told her career would have"expired" by this point.
