US President Donald Trump not only persuaded Princess Diana, but also asked Mexican bombshell Salma Hayek to go out on a date with him. However, the actress refused.

Hayek recently appeared on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah and spoke about the night when Trump asked her out on a date despite knowing the fact that she was in a relationship that time.

She said several years ago she attended an event with her then-boyfriend and Trump happened to be present at the event. Hayek said she was feeling a bit cold and that's when Trump placed his jacket over her shoulder.

"I turn around and my boyfriend — so charming, so nice — he said hello [to Trump]," she told the host. "[Trump] said, 'I'm sorry, your girlfriend, I saw she was cold.' And then he kept talking to my boyfriend."

Further, she said Trump befriended her boyfriend and started talking to him. "The whole time, he's talking to my boyfriend," she said. "And then he's like, 'If you guys are ever in New York, you can come to Atlantic City, you can stay in my hotel. Give me your number, give me your number.'"

Trump took Hayek and her boyfriend's numbers, but started calling only the actress. Despite knowing that she has a boyfriend, he asked her out. "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. Trump responded with, "'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, " she added.

Host Noah then jokingly asked Hayek whether she is still with her then boyfriend. When she said no, Noah replied, "Trump was right."
