Salma Hayek and Colin Farrell in the Nude

For her latest movie (Ask the Dust) Mexican beauty Salma Hayek suffered from cold, caught pneumonia, and took a glimpse at Hollywood's homme fatal Colin Farrell private parts.

While interviewed by handbag.com, the actress told the story of some not at all pleasant shootings and praised co-star Farrell for his unexpected elegant manners in nude scenes.

The movie is a love story involving an Italo-American writer (Farrell) and his Mexican muse (Hayek). The stars experienced extreme weather conditions as they were required to shoot a nude scene in the freezing water of the ocean.

Salma Hayek told the reporter: "I didn't want to come out of the trailer because it was cold and I didn't want to take my clothes off. It was a nightmare of a shoot and I really didn't want to do it. They knocked on his (trailer) door and he ran out naked, running and screaming, jumping up and down. Everybody started laughing and it did relax me because I was very nervous. He did it for that reason. It was very cold to the point where we had to stop doing the scene because they took my temperature and I was in trouble. We had to take some special liquids to endure it (the cold) and a special diet because there was a risk of hypothermia, which I actually got a little of it (sic).

For all of Mr Farrell's reputation, the man never looked at me while we were doing the scene (because his character was proper) other than in my eyes. He never once looked down and I never told him not to. I did take a look (at him naked) but I was not focusing because it was cold. I pretty much got pneumonia."

Her statement might come as a shock for those used to the gigolo image the British actor has, but sometimes it's more logical to trust a reputed actress than celebrity socialite gossip.
