Salma Hayek recently revealed her initial apprehension about joining the cast of "Black Mirror" Season 6. The actress expressed concern that certain scenes, which she described as "disgusting" and "grotesque," might draw significant criticism. In an interview with Radio Times, Hayek recounted questioning her decision to participate, wondering if her involvement would lead to backlash.

Hayek's character in the dystopian series is a fictionalized version of herself, grappling with the unexpected release of a biopic drama about her life on a streaming service. This role allowed Hayek to explore a different side of herself, engaging in actions she wouldn't typically consider in reality. Despite her initial worries, the actress ultimately found the experience liberating and enjoyable, describing it as a unique opportunity for self-reflection and playing with public perceptions.

Hayek also relished the chance to work alongside a talented ensemble cast, which includes Michael Cera, Aaron Paul, and Rory Culkin. Her "Black Mirror" appearance follows recent social media posts where she embraced her natural beauty, sharing images of herself with gray hair and wrinkles, and showcasing her confidence in a bikini while enjoying time on a boat.
