Salma Hayek as the Bearded Lady in ‘Cirque du Freak’

Published by Jeff Leins on August 8, 2009

Entertainment Weekly has the first exclusive look at Salma Hayek in costume as the bearded lady in Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant.  The beautiful actress plays Madam Truska, an attraction in the traveling freak show who randomly sprouts whiskers when “getting passionate” with her boyfriend.  Hayek is no stranger to creepy facial hair after rocking a unibrow in Frida and being nominated for Oscar for it.

The trailer for Cirque du Freak has been showing in theaters this weekend and I caught it in front of G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra Thursday night.  To take a look, check out Cinematical.  John C. Reilly stars as a vampire and Chris Massoglia is his assistant.  Just what we need, another teen vampire movie.
