In the midst of linguistic intricacies, Salma Hayek hilariously misinterpreted a situation where she thought her spouse, François-Henri Pinault, might be involved in an affair with a woman named Elena.
During her appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, the 50-year-old actress recounted a humorous tale of how she became a self-styled detective after noticing a dubious text on her husband's mobile device.
The couple converses in a unique blend of English infused with "Switzerland language" accents within the confines of their home. However, this particular arrangement has attracted some playful teasing, especially from their nine-year-old daughter, Valentina, who fondly mocks her father's accent. François-Henri, aiming to address this, openly mentioned his intention to engage a dialect coach to enhance his English-speaking skills. Curiously, Salma doubted that he ever took action on that plan.
Then, on a fateful day, while exchanging messages on her husband's phone, Salma chanced upon a communication from a certain Elena. Playfully mimicking the tone of the "other woman," Salma unveiled the message, which invited François-Henri to practice English. Although initial feelings of anger surged within her, she opted to place her trust in her husband and refrained from addressing the matter.
Yet, curiosity persisted, and during a casual meal, she subtly inquired about Elena. François-Henri disavowed any knowledge of the woman, leading to an amusing confrontation. Salma insisted that Elena be made aware of her proficiency in English and suggested that they practice together.
In due course, the misunderstanding was rectified when they realized that the message came from an app called ELSA, specifically designed for language practice. Despite the mishap, Salma playfully advised the audience against relying solely on the app to eliminate accents, as François-Henri's French inflection remained quite distinct.
Ultimately, the incident transformed into a delightful anecdote, exemplifying the playful and affectionate dynamics between Salma Hayek and her husband.
