The Main Reason Salma Hayek Lost Out On Starring In The Matrix

I mean, in her defense, can you even imagine the training involved to be in The Matrix? Those actors were dodging bullets left and right and running to their heart’s content. It sounds grueling. Jada Pinkett Smith didn’t get the role either, but according to Salma Hayek, her audition blew her away. Hayek felt completely unprepared and compared herself against the Girls Trip actress, who she called a “mean, lean, sexy machine” in the audition.
