Salma Hayek has opened up about the time Donald Trump asked her out on a date during an appearance on "The Daily Show With Trevor Noah".

In a conversation with Trevor, the 50-year-old actress revealed that the now US President once tried to hit on her at an event where he first befriended her the then-boyfriend, reported Us weekly.

"I was at an event with my boyfriend... He (Trump) put his jacket on my shoulders as I was rubbing my shoulders because it was cold. (he was) so charming, so nice, super nice.

"He said I'm sorry your girlfriend - I saw she was cold... He kept talking to my boyfriend, and then he befriended my boyfriend, invited him to dinner and then he was like, 'If you guys are in New York, you can come to Atlantic City, you can stay in my hotel. Give me your numbers'," Hayek recalled.
 

The actress further said Trump "never" talked to her boyfriend again after that night, but he did call her.

"He's inviting me out, and I'm like, 'What about my boyfriend? Am I crazy? Are you asking me out? You know I have a boyfriend'," she said before claiming that he responded, "He's not good enough for you. He's not important, he's not big enough for you. You have to go out with me."

The Mexican-American actress first talked about the story in October last year.

British star Emma Thompson also narrated a similar incident about how Trump once reached out to her and invited her to the Trump Towers but she did not take his offer seriously.
