Oh baby, baby!
Salma Hayek showed off her inner pop princess moves while lip synching and dancing to Britney Spears’ 1998 hit “...Baby One More Time.”
The 54-year-old grooved alongside a crew of four backup dancers as she perfectly mimicked Britney’s classic steps, kicks and hair flips from the iconic video.
Hayek, decked out in a black t-shirt, yoga pants and sneakers, fully committed to the routine by ending it with a final leg swing as she collapsed gracefully onto the floor. She's ready for a Vegas residency!
The Oscar-nominated star used the routine to promote her latest film “The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard.”
"Show me your #hitmanschallenge baby! Muéstrame tu mejor #hitmanschallenge baby!" Hayek captioned the post. "I'll be watching."

While only appearing briefly in the original, Hayek was surprised the character was brought back in a more prominent role for the sequel.
"Quite frankly, I was shocked," Hayek told Variety. "I've been in many movies where we get the call: 'Oh, my God, you're one of the most liked characters in the film.' So many times. But for the first time, there was a director that said, 'I'm gonna listen to the audience.'"
“...Baby One More Time” has been used to promote the sequel, with the tagline “Hit Me Baby One More TIme” appearing on the movie’s poster.
“The Hit Man’s Wife’s Bodyguard” hits theaters on June 16th.
