Salma Hayek has recalled losing out on a role in The Matrix as she was too “lazy” during her audition for the classic sci-fi film.
The actor will reprise her Niobe role in the forthcoming The Matrix Resurrections.
Hayek then remembered Pinkett Smith entering the training room after her, dubbing her a “mean, lean, sexy machine”.
While appearing on the Facebook Watch show Red Table Talk with host Jada Pinkett Smith, Hayek said that her friendship with the actor and talk show presenter began when they both lost the part.
