"So I was sore. It was technical, you've got to make sure you don't poke his eye with a stiletto or knock him out or he doesn't drop me. He kept telling me he was 'very strong, don't worry,' but still you've got to hold on a little bit with the arms or the legs," she shared. Hayek was also able to lean on dance professionals to help with the routine. She told People: "They are the world experts on this kind of a dance. I needed a lot of advice. But then I wanted it to be also my own thing, so they kind of adjusted the choreographer to my flow. He was finding the middle ground between the two of us. So that felt smooth and organic." Salma Hayek Reveals Why Hollywood Refused To Cast Her In RomComs, Says 'According To Them I was Too Sexy For Humour'.

"To me, it was also very different because I've danced in other movies before, but I've danced for a guy. It really felt like he was dancing for me, but also at some point ... we wanted it to have an art that we were moving together. I was not sitting there having this guy dance. We connected and we were moving together." Despite this, Hayek has been surprised by the reaction to the scene.
