WhileBandidasis the only film project Hayek and Cruz have starred in together, they have remained close pals over the years — from the moment Cruz first landed in Los Angeles.
At the time, the two had only met over the phone — never in person. But Hayek still made sure to give Cruz thewarmest welcome possible.
“I was coming here for two months and I didn’t know anyone here,” Cruz said last year onThe Ellen DeGeneres Show. “And [Salma] picked me up and said, ‘You’re not going to the hotel. You’re coming to my house because this is hard at the beginning and you’re going to feel very lonely.’ "
TheOscarwinner was admittedly scared when she first reached Southern California, and even initially slept in Hayek’s room.
“And in the middle of the night, she said I was holding her hand because I was afraid, I was dreaming, I don’t know,” Cruz told DeGeneres, 65.
