ITV talk show presenter Eamon Holmes made a gaffe while the actress was present to discuss her campaign to wipe out Tetanus, reports The Sun.

Holmes asked Salma, Hayek doesn't sound very Mexican". To which the actress replied that’s because she’s half Lebanese.

He didn’t understand what she said and mistakenly asked: “You’re a lesbian?”

Salma clarified that she was a Lebanese.

Eamon asked her to forgive him and admitted he’d thought she’d said she was “half lesbian”.

You know what is really amusing to me? That even though this dude is talking to a woman with such a thick accent he can't understand her, he still has the audacity to question her Mexican identity! It's so much fun to be mestiz@ some times.
