‘I love habanero!’ Frida alum Salma Hayek Pinault used her upbringing in Coatzacoalcos, Mexico to take on the wings of death during Thursday’s episode of First We Feast talk show Hot Ones

Salma – who ended her three-month break from hot food – relied on ice water, lemon slices, and Fritos corn chips to cut the ever-increasing Scoville levels.

By the time Hayek (born Jiménez) took a bite of the chicken wing soaked in Da Bomb Beyond Insanity Hot Sauce, she amusingly quipped it was ‘like a bad lover.’

‘No me gusta,’ groaned the Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard action star.

‘Oh my god, I am playing an Eternal, but my tongue is still human.’

The 55-year-old Oscar nominee said: ‘You have to remember that in Mexico, you grow up with candy…It’s sweet but it’s full of chili. There’s a lot of spicy candy the children do eat. So you get used to it’

Salma hilariously added: ‘Too much pain for very little pleasure!’

Despite threatening to ‘send the Mexican mafia’ to host Sean Evans, he eventually won over Hayek and she declared him ‘an honorary Mexican’ for consuming hot wings in 230 episodes.

The Daytime Emmy winner said: ‘You know what? I am adopting you as a Mexican. You are an honorary Mexican from today on. You can really handle your chilis.’

Salma revealed the Mexican restaurant she and her 14-year-old daughter Valentina Paloma frequent near their 14-bedroom mansion in London’s ‘billionaires row’ at Bishops Avenue.
