During filming, Hayek was set to shoot a spa scene with Gaga in which her characters enjoy a mud bath, she said.
"I've never done a mud bath, which, by the way, I couldn't believe, that I had never done a mud bath, we have a little dialogue before we go in," the actress recalled. "And once you're in, you're, well, not quite, we had something below but nothing above, and the thing is, in my head, I was going to sink."
Hayek recalled that Gaga, 35, entered the mud bath "like an Egyptian queen" before entering the bath herself.
"Me, with my extra kilos, I sit in the mud and I'm not sinking," she said. "And I'm trying to [move the mud off] my huge butt to do a weight [shift]." And she comments that the experience was not easy at all.
"And then I start moving and then there's the going [back and forth], you know," Hayek continued. "It's a very dramatic scene and she's trying to stay focused and... I'm mortified."
She added, "It was horrible. The most challenging scene I've ever done."
Hayek and Gaga star alongside Al Pacino, Jared Leto, Adam Driver and Jeremy Irons in "House of Gucci," which details Patrizia's difficulties with the Gucci family, leading her to hire a hit man to kill her husband, played by Driver.
