Salma Hayek reveals about her interaction with Eminem at 2020 Oscars: He looked terrified of me

During a recent interview, Eminem gushed about attending this year’s Academy Awards to deliver performance and he specifically mentioned that the highlight of his night was when he got to hug Salma Hayek. Well, while Eminem was clearly excited about the interaction, Hayek recently gave a back story to that hug and revealed that she completely embarrassed herself in front of the singer. In a lengthy Instagram post, the actress detailed her interaction with Eminem alongside a picture of the moment the two met backstage.

Hayek revealed that she was so shocked to see Eminem that she accidentally spilled water on him and then awkwardly hugged him saying she was a huge fan. “In these pictures it might look like @Eminem and I are best friends, but what really happened is as he was walking offstage and I was getting ready to walk onstage, I was so shocked to see him that I spilled water all over him,” she wrote. Hayek further mentioned that the 47-year-old rapper looked terrified of her as she made a fool of herself in front of him.

In these pictures it might look like @Eminem and I are best friends, but what really happened is as he was walking offstage and I was getting ready to walk onstage, I was so shocked to see him that I spilled water all over him. If you examine our faces, I look mortified and he looks terrified of me- As I was trying to wipe it off I impulsively hugged him and I said “Nice to meet you Eminem- I’m a HUGE fan!” because I AM! But I was so disappointed that I made such a fool of myself in front of him... and then I read this [swipe right] in @rollingstone. Eminem you’re the greatest!!!

En estas imágenes podría parecer que Eminem y yo somos mejores amigos, pero lo que realmente sucedió es que mientras el salía del escenario y me preparaba para entrar, me sorprendió tanto verlo que le tiré agua encima. Si examinas la foto, me veo mortificado y él se ve aterrorizado de mí. Mientras intentaba limpiarlo, lo abracé impulsivamente y le dije: "Encantado de conocerte, Eminem. ¡Soy un ENORME fan!" Pero estaba muy decepcionada de haber hecho el ridículo al conocerlo... y luego leí esto [deslizar hacia la derecha] en @rollingstone. Eminem eres grande!!!
