Body of Work: Salma Hayek's Hottest Roles
Ok, so it looks a little corny around the edges, but we'll actually be checking for this Grown Ups flick this weekend. It stars Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, and Kevin James as old friends who get together for a Fourth of July reunion, but that's not the real reason we'll be watching. The real reason? Salma muthaeffin' Hayek of course. Fact is, we'll watch any movie with Salma Hayek in it (and we'll definitely talk to her about it), and if we get a few laughs out of the bargain, all the better.
Salma is a perpetual top contender for GOAT hottie. Pretty face? Check. Terrific twos? Yessir. Exotic accent? Yeah, it's there. Down to do nude scenes? Oh goodness, yes. She looks good in every film she's been in, and if you think otherwise, a) you're a dipshit, and b) we're about to prove you wrong with our list of Salma Hayek's hottest roles
DESPERADO (1995)
Character: Carolina
Nude? Yes
Complex says: What's hotter than fire? Hot fiyah! And that's what Salma was in her breakout role for American audiences. She looks awesome naked and, uh, where were we? Oh right, yeah, SHE LOOKS AWESOME NAKED.
DOGMA (1999)
Character: Serendipity
Nude? No
Complex says: Salma plays a sexy muse who wears glasses. We're a sucker for girls in glasses. And she strips. We love strippers too. Gah, she's so hot.
FROM DUSK TILL DAWN (1999)
Character: Satanico Pandemonium
Nude? No
Complex says: Satanico Pandemonium isn't exactly the name we want for a future ex-girlfriend, but we'd take the chance anyway. Come on, she's a snake charmer. What are the fucking odds?
AFTER THE SUNSET (2004)
Character: Lola Cirillo
Nude? No
Complex says: Salma plays a master thief in this Brett Ratner-directed action film. She'll steal diamonds and she'll steal your heart. Yeah, we just did that. But definitely watch this one for the plethora of bikini-clad cleavage shots.
ASK THE DUST (2006)
Character: Camilla
Nude? Yes
Complex says: Honestly, we couldn't tell you what this movie's about even if we wanted to. However, what we can tell you is, THERE ARE NUDE SCENES. SHE'S COMPLETELY NUDE. Add this one to your Netflix queue, stat.
BANDIDAS (2006)
Character: Sara Sandoval
Nude? No
Complex says: Salma teams up with fellow hottie Penelope Cruz and shows us how bank robbing is done. It's not that good, but it's about sexy Mexican women riding around in horses, shooting guns, and throwing knives. What more can you ask for?
FRIDA (2002)
Character: Frida Kahlo
Nude? Yes
Complex says: Pro: Frida is bisexual. Con: Frida has a unibrow. Pro: Frida is bisexual and loves to have sex with women. Say no more.
54 (1998)
Character: Anita Randazzo
Nude? No
Complex says: Studio 54 was that spot in the '70s, where getting girls like Anita was easy if you just danced to some disco. Yeah sure, it was easy to get syphilis during the era of casual sex and cocaine, too, but at least it's curable!
WILD WILD WEST (1999)
Character: Rita Escobar
Nude? No
Complex says: This movie sucked. Seriously, no other way to really put it. But that said, we still watched it, and that's all because of Salma. Funny how she can do that to shitty movies.
GROWN UPS (2010)
Character: Roxanne Chase-Feder
Nude? No
Complex says: Nah, this one's got no nude scenes, but Jamie Chung is in it as well, so we just might get "grown up" anyway.
