By now you’re certainly seen video of the nightly ritual at Sabrina Carpenter shows on the singer’s Short n’ Sweet tour where she “arrests” someone from the audience. Back in March, during a stop at the O2 Arena in London, she once again looked around for a guest that was “too hot” in order to slap some fuzzy pink handcuffs on them.
On March 9, she nabbed Salma Hayek Pinault, greeting the House of Gucci star by saying, “Oh my goodness. Who is this woman in the front? I need some of that. For real. Wow, you are so gorgeous […] It’s crazy ’cause I just met you, but I’m already in love with you, and I feel like we’re kind of destined. I’m getting hot because you’re here.”
On Wednesday night (May 14) Hayek dropped by the Tonight Show to talk about her first Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover, and, of course, her pop citizen’s arrest. “I love her!” Hayek said of the singer. “My first arrest, not too bad,” Hayek added after host Jimmy Fallon held up an image of the actress and Carpenter leaning their heads together while each holding a furry handcuff, both women decked out in Short n’ Sweet tour gear.
“This is the thing, I kind of loved it,” Hayek said about getting the cuffs slapped on her. “Except that afterwards my daughter put it on and we couldn’t get them off! [She] had to go to school and we couldn’t get them off.” Panicked, Hayek said she “started smacking” the pretend cuffs to break them open, eventually liberating her daughter from the prop. “I just did not want to explain to the school… I handcuffed her on top of it!” Hayek said.
Hayek also participated in a bit in which she and Fallon got face-to-face with some scary-looking bugs and talked about posing for the SI cover while showing Fallon some inside modeling secrets.
