During the spicy challenge, she said Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is the movie that made her want to become an actress. “When I was a little girl and I was watching it I thought it was amazing and I said ‘wait a minute wow. There is a universe where everything is possible and you can live in another era-in the past or in the future and you can have a real-world made out of chocolate, everything is possible, and that‘s film. Everything is possible.” She also opened up about many things, including her dyslexia, her late grandfather, and a special encounter she had with an octopus while diving.

The Frida star also reflected on her animated project “The Prophet” and said she had a sentimental attachment to the book written by Kahlil Gibran because of her grandfather who was Lebanese and kept the book by his bed. “As I grew older I read that book many different times and kept seeing it in a different way. Every time I read it I found something new to learn from it. I felt like it was yay grandfather who even though he is not here with me, he’s still teaching me about life through this amazing poet.”

By the time Hayek got to Hot Heads at 57000 Scoville, she was left impressed by the host. “I‘m impressed, your eyes are watering but you’re not pink on the face yet,” she told him. She also accused Evans of potentially using bbq sauce when he’s on the show and said she wanted to switch wings with him on the next one. “I‘m like suspicious,” she said as she took a drink of her glass of milk.

Hayek also talked about her dyslexia, “I‘m very highly dyslexic, so my brain, instead of reading words, just sees images and that’s like a good thing if you wanted to be a director.”

The Hitman‘s Wife’s Bodyguard action star got to a habanero sauce she fell in love with and explained, “You have to remember that in Mexico, you grow up with candy...It‘s sweet but it’s full of chili. There‘s a lot of spicy candy the children do eat. So you get used to it”

Hayek loves to dive in her spare time and said she has a good vibe” with sea creatures who will approach her. “I had an octopus one time explore me, it was very interesting,” she said hovering her hand over her face mimicking it. “I stayed very still, but it goes dark. But at the beginning, there was some light going in there, and just to see their tentacles attached to the thing. You have to hold on to the respirator because they can pull it out, he was moving the mask and going on around me and I stayed very calm and very still and he explored me and left,” she explained.

They eventually got to the wing that “was going to kill her.” “As long as it doesn’t give me diarrhea. I have a movie to promote” she quipped. “If it doesn’t I‘m going to send you the Mexican mafia,” she said adding that she was just kidding, “I shouldn’t have said that.” As she took a bite of Da Bomb Beyond Insanity Hot Sauce leveled at 135,600 she said it was ’Oh my god, I am playing an Eternal, but my tongue is still human.‘ She chugged milk while trying to get through the sauce and said it was ’“Too much pain for very little pleasure!” Like a “bad lover.”

By the end of the episode, Hayek adopted Evans as an “honorary Mexican.” “You can really handle your chiles,” she said proudly. At the end of the challenge, she said wished her husband François-Henri Pinault was there, “so I could kiss him and then he‘d be on fire and wouldn’t even know why!”
