Ryan Reynolds still remembers the ‘sharp sting’ from when Salma Hayek slapped him Entertainment Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds is recalling his experience sharing screens with co-star Salma Hayek for The Hitman’s Bodyguard. Reynolds spoke about the slaps he received from the Eternals actor as well as Samuel L. Jackson during the filming of the 2017-released movie. Speaking to Variety, the Deadpool actor said: "In Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard, I'm slapped in the face twice by Salma and once by Samuel L Jackson.” "For the record, it was Salma who didn't pull the punches. Not even once. I can still feel the sharp sting of her tiny hand working its way into my soft Hollywood cheekbones. May God have mercy on her soul,” added the Green Lantern actor.
