In 2006, two stars came together in the film “Bandidas,” where Hayek and Cruz starred in the leading roles. But they had met before that when Hayek took her into her home.
In a 2022 interview with Ellen DeGeneres, The 355 star said they had only met over the phone, but when she came to Los Angeles for the first time, Hayek picked her up from the airport. Hayek told her, “You’re not going to a hotel. You’re coming to my house because this is hard initially, and you’ll feel very lonely.” “So — she took me to her house. That’s why now we’re like sisters,” she added.
