Conan interviews Salma Hayek. From Late Night, March 11, 1997.

[@Catalina._]

Salma's voice now sounds different but Conan's voice still sounds exactly the same

[@gabrieltavarez7902]

@ Catalina , hello beautiful you look just like her 😍

[@Julian-AJCP]

Her face and her hair alone... Not to mention the rest. Just perfection😍

[@rolandhersan2420]

Her hair is amazing

[@TETCOM.]

So shiny and luxurious

[@staypositive4358]

Its Pantene.

[@awaygoesthemaracas467]

It’s ✨ S H I N N Y ✨ :)

[@emmierene3898]

Her Character, Attitude, and poise haven't changed.

[@elisacharles2248]

She is absolutely stunning. People say I look like her all the time. Incredible compliment.

[@TejAsh19_]

Well I can't see you perfectly and clear with the profile you have Right now, but yeah I do see some resemblance.

[@hsd287]

U don't look like her but u look equally pretty ❤

[@enquarsports9687]

The back and forth exchange was priceless. I love how she went right along with it. A hilarious pair!

[@theseeker1237]

truly beautiful inside and out, much more than most women, even to this day.

[@eviacortez6205]

S M and that’s the intelligence in her

[@omshanti8954]

Not only is she gorgeous.. every word of it.. she is great sport.. great fun.. and boy.. beautiful smile.. you lose your heart with her accent

[@bo2720]

Still stunning! One of a kind.

[@allenl9214]

yuppp.. the girl i fell in love with at 10 years after watching Desperado

[@jaymcd8577]

didn't we all!

[@yehah]

Haha, same man

[@snezray2324]

How is her accent so different back then and now it's gotten stronger.

[@manofiske3318]

She's a phony..uh I mean, actress, after all.

[@maehojanita]

Soooo I just came from a recent interview thinking "why does she sound like a white person TRYING to have a Mexican accent??!!". I had to find an older one to see if I was crazy or not but this video feels so authentic compared to what I just saw on the Daily Mail. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

[@israel172251]

Grrrrrr ......lol . This is one of SALMAS funniest interview. I love her all her interviews are so funny. I 😘❤😁

[@metzingerwasright]

Damn, she was beautiful.

[@FINgaming1000]

metzingerwasright was?

[@metzingerwasright]

Still beautiful, but beautiful at 50 can't compete with beautiful at 30, sorry. Time catches up with us all.

[@melopsicodelia]

metzingerwasright that's true, I think she is incredibly hot but just now I'm watching her old videos for the first time and DAAAAMN she was perfection, her face, body, I'm amaze with her beauty, her innocence, 😍

[@brainsareus]

yeah, but some mature into more beauty, too. ie Bernadette Peters At 70!! #Humpalicious !!

[@brainsareus]

Jasmine... I like, gentle wrinkles, too; as they can be sexy. Black women, age wonderfully, for the most part; but at times, not having wrinkles on an older face; can look like; a waxed, embalmed mask, too. sorry...

[@carlesbofarullandreu497]

Magnífica entrevista con Salma Hayek

[@dwayneterrell1915]

She makes me laugh so hard this is an old one I see she was young there she is she is a amazing woman God bless you honey ❤❤❤

[@fthaltamimi7748]

I still remember when you hosted Erin Brunette. Pls provide it full. During that episode you and she were talking about you met an Financial market famous person who lose his talk and begin to yell and there when you stopped him by a mike asking him don't tell at me... a hilarious

[@freakingtv2343]

she's so silky lol

[@MegaEtito]

How is it possible that her accent became stronger in 20 years than reverse?

[@silversmith8]

She probably tried to copy the American accent in the beginning, and then when she got more comfortable and sure of herself, she realized she didn't have to copy it to feel confident. I've seen that happen a lot to people whose first language isn't English. :)

[@carloscastVeVo]

H S what you say is actually true.. it happened to me when I moved to america I had to fake a perfect accent just so I can fit in now I dot care and I just speak with my real accent.

[@alessandrozhang8455]

the fuck are you guys talking about? There is something that is called "Good pronunciation". "My real accent" my ass, you are just too lazy to practice, admit it.

[@Dnn1985]

She has stated that she is dyslexic.

[@Dnn1985]

She probably had a coach that help her in her beginnings.

[@Chan_Chal_Chit_1]

This interview is 25 years old

[@RisforRockit]

4:38 "They're almost mexican" - any other Pixies fans here? "Your Irish skin looks Mexican / Our love is rice and beans and horses lard" (Bone Machine)

[@johnpaul7756]

He bought me a soda and he tried to molest me in the parking lot.

[@danielaa8329]

She's just having fun people

[@hockeymann88]

Let's see. I wonder what pops into your head when you haven't seen this beautiful woman before and she then appears onstage. For me the words, holy f*!×, then I just took in all the beauty. Wow, and she is still a charming beauty.

[@EverBorna]

How come her English was better back then than nowadays?

[@erudieltosawibernalramirez9187]

Ever Bornacelli I would say because she stopped speaking English and started speaking French more.

[@rosaska4354]

​​@@erudieltosawibernalramirez9187.no she fake this latin accent to be more cool. She went to school as a teen (!) in the USA (from age 12 to 17), so she knows how to speak englisch without an accent.

[@rosaska4354]

No she fake this latin accent to be more cool Latina. She went to school as a teen (! 12 to 17 age) in the USA, so she knows how to speak englisch without an accent.

[@AndrewsOpinion15]

HAPPY 51TH BIRTHDAY SALMA HAYEK !!!

[@DWQJVB]

Thank you

[@Marinaaduran]

I wonder what it's like to be beautiful

[@Alechemistsbooks]

It’s the inside that counts... you are a gorgeous soul

[@hsd287]

It's a great advantage but u still need to take care of urself anyways

[@jaymcd8577]

So Selma likes a bit've Irish eh? I might still be in with a chance.

[@TheRomipereira]

her english was really good before than now lol

[@hlatino03]

She lived in Hollywood then so yeah...now she lives in Paris....when you speak two or more languages...you perfect one over the other...of course your mother first language will always stick with you and you can perfect the accent on the second one...but the 3 or 4th is hard...I know the feeling too well.

[@taniamejia5359]

People the live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

[@RDA8191]

She's faking a thick accent because its very popular right now. My wife is from Mexico and calls her out on this all the time. Now the accent is trendy, so suddenly hers has returned

[@hlatino03]

When you are married to a Billionaire ...who gives a fuck.... no need to impress the fucking gringoes in Hollywood anymore.

[@blossoms7878]

Its like when sofia vergara has showed up has triggered her urge to talk twisty

[@shadowweaver3693]

Why is her accent stronger now than back then?

[@israel172251]

She is not trying to impress anymore anymore.

[@elsaangelica3684]

Probably cus he also speaks French but yes I noticed that too

[@Tripp393]

She plays it up more now

[@hsd287]

They use it as a trademark ❤

[@maelinfashion7900]

Creo que es porque donde Sofía Vergara hace eso muy bien , lo de marcar si acento,, ella también lo tomo

[@ROGSYT]

She had lots of potential

[@brainsareus]

Conan was a bit less goofy, then

[@michaelscott9040]

Conan probably sniffed that seat after the interview lol

[@mbond3512]

Lol

[@kanyh.2624]

Salma is a beautiful smart lady, seems like her English was much better back then 🧐

[@devitbenz]

4:53 her voice....

[@user-gl4qw6ow4b]

Shes gorgeous!

[@garethlloyd7103]

Salma Hayek on Conan (1997-03-11)

[@taniamejia5359]

She was not the Mexico's biggest start. She became famous in the USA first and because of it was famous in Mexico. Before working in the USA she only had one starring role in Mexico and that was Teresa. She was told by Mexican producers and directors that she was doing the wrong choice by moving to the USA because her career was just starring in Mexico.

[@musiccc2012]

Tania Mejia noo because she actually said. The story that when she bearly came to usa she said she didnt know anybody and when she went to a restaurant there was a huge star in the usa and every body was screaming at her "salma" teresa" cause she became famous for being teresa on the novela

[@rledoconsultant]

Wrong! She was already famous in Mexico before she came here

[@kirtiajmera7103]

Thanks for making gentleman comfortable

[@briantneary2248]

Goddess. And Selma is one, too

[@NotNotKenny]

I wonder if they hooked up after the show.Those were the days when Conan was known to "Hit it and Quit it".Ok,I made myself laugh at the thought of Conan being like that.

[@oliverrando6463]

To me she kinda underrated but she always been beautiful

[@BrianStyleDeath]

Look at Conan having a chance at getting a young Selma Hayek only to fail. Sad.

[@RudeliciousTV]

She’s gorgeous. But why does it seem her accent wasn’t as thick back then?

[@melaniebustamante9778]

Well because Salma used to live in the U.S and had to speak english more often. But since she married a french she is learning french as well. So she is not surrounded by english speakers as back then. Sorry if my english sucks. Not my first language.

[@InamberI]

Something is wrong here. Her english was better 10 years ago than now. Or maybe in that time she tried to sound more american.

[@MrGameplayGirl]

InamberI she is currently speaking 3 languages, her accent is even stronger because having to change between 3 languages is hard specially because Spanish is already a strong language and trying to get her rid of accent is practically impossible

[@supertoyg]

If you're referring to this video, I hate to break it to you but 1997 was *20* years ago... as for her accent, I think there are two answers: 1) as people age, their brains tend to slow down, and 2) she doesn't really have to try anymore, she's wealthy and established and can probably afford an entourage of Spanish speakers.

[@mkelly2585]

I think she spelled her native tongue more and been around her people. She picked it up

[@carlosflores4380]

As a mexican 2 of my exes have been irish. We are both mad at the world as a people lol

[@Lexman509]

Somebody should of warned her about being in that Wild, Wild West Movie. :)

[@manofiske3318]

'..should _have_ warned..'

[@Chan_Chal_Chit_1]

Her necks so beautiful 😍😍😍😍

[@marialacona]

Funny her accent is getting thicker with the years! 🤣

[@TETCOM.]

!!!!!!!!

[@antivurus0001]

why she talk with an accent now? she never did before

[@lvperla]

Think she was just trying to fit with an American accent but now she doesn’t care

[@kirtiajmera7103]

These gentleman are shadowy

[@stevenstair1068]

She is such a Babe!!!!

[@user-qe2pb8bf2l]

тута русские есть

[@ontheroad191]

Гулжан Айнакулова есть, привет

[@dl4087]

If women like this where trying to cross the boarder. No wall would ever be talked about. She will always be beautiful.

[@andrescoronel1740]

Finally some truth spoken, yes in deed, it's all about race.

[@luisajauregui1781]

Me llama la atención que estaba viendo una entrevista actual y su acento es suuuuuper marcado y aquí no tanto, siento que ya le funciona como estrategia, vio que le funcionó muy bien a Sofía Vergara y ahora lo exagera un buen 🧐

[@dannylochuck2249]

Le funcionó a Sofia?, actualmente Salma tiene mejores ofertas de trabajo que Sofia y ya fue nominada a un Oscar. Sofia solo es famosa por la serie, te aseguro que Salma no pone atención a la carrera de otras latinas.

[@kirtiajmera7103]

Passion needs poem . better half

[@rocioguerrero5147]

How she have no accent 15 years ago?

[@hsd287]

U mean 25 years ago infact 26 now

[@dochvtech22]

Selma, look up Gene kim n Chuck missler on KZbin

[@infamouswickedjokestar]

Mommy Salma 😍🥵

[@afierro165]

her accent was better hahaha

[@HispanoenBrasil]

why is her accent 30 years later worse?

[@patrick76918]

She noticed that Sofia Vergara’s accent got popular and funny. So, now she fakes an accent to try to sound funny. Just The Truth!!!

[@misslee6788]

Lol true. Ppl try to say she's just more comfortable and not trying to impress anyone now 🤣

[@seleneespinoza7129]

Yes that is the only reason I searched this past interview to compare the accent and yes she is trying to sound like Sofia!!!

[@lazaraustanti4190]

She’s doesn’t drink and go out a lot the Fck 🙃

[@kennie5252]

why her english now is worse than then

[@TheSololobo]

Yeah nowadays her english is just as bad as yours.

[@rledoconsultant]

And??

[@miguelrodriguez-jn7ov]

She speaks very good English she just fakes to have an accent now don't get fool people now she's a billionaire she doesn't give a shit now what people thinks about her fake accent.salma is from a rich family in Mexico maybe she learned English since she was a little girl

[@MrGameplayGirl]

miguel rodriguez she speaks french now and the accent shows up even more, give her a break

[@elsaangelica3684]

Yeah she also studied English so maybe that helped

[@cibdizzy]

this mexican lady is 100 percent a genius. whe came from one of the poorest countries onthe planet and now she is married to a billionaire. she can probably buy her country of origin wiht the divorce money lol

[@marnegro8079]

Sorry to say, but Mexico isn't a poor country 😂 it's very rich, but the thing is the government and the corruption that has people struggling. Bad education, etc. But if you see the list of the richest countries, guess which one is there? Xd

[@booboo6597]

Lmao Mexico is not a poor country, you probably think Mexico is like the Hollywood movies with the sepia filter and desert. She also came from a very rich privileged family, so she probably even had more money than you even before she was famous.

[@Sunny-bw1mo]

I really like her but I was uncomfortable watching...She was flirting too much

[@bo2720]

What the hell is wrong with flirting?

[@hlatino03]

Conan O'Brien is so fucking creepy in a really bad bad way...... ewww.

[@manofiske3318]

It's not so much that he's 'creepy' rather that he's homely AKA ''ugly'' meaning, the near obligatory _talk-show host - female guest_ ''flirting'' schtick doesn't really go over..that is, no one's buyin' it.

[@bearbear4389]

Just to clarify, she was never a big star in Mexico.

[@kesito777]

Strange that her Spanish accent wasn't that strong when she was younger 🤔
