''In Desperado, I had great difficulty doing the love scene with Antonio Banderas. I actually cried.

''I didn't want to be naked in front of a camera and kept on thinking, 'What will my mother and father think about this?' ''

She added: ''When the movie came out the critics were saying, 'Salma Hayek is a bombshell'.
