An icy exchange between Nicole Kidman and Salma Hayek has gone viral online, leaving the internet wondering what the hot drama is between the two Hollywood leading ladies.

At the Balenciaga show during Paris Fashion Week on September 30, the two actresses were spotted having a seemingly tense interaction while trying to pose for pictures with Katy Perry.

Highlights
  • Nicole Kidman and Salma Hayek had a tense moment at Paris Fashion Week that went viral.
  • The Australian actress appeared to push the fellow Hollywood star's hand away during a photo opportunity with Katy Perry.
  • The heated interaction took place at the Balenciaga show during Paris Fashion Week in September.
  • Fans speculated on the tension, with some defending Nicole due to the recent loss of her mother.

A video shared recently online captured the Frida star, 58, trying to get the Oscar-winning actress, 57, to face the cameras. However, the Boy Erased actress awkwardly brushed off the gesture.

    Nicole moved the Mexico-born actress’s hand away before going on to greet pop diva Katy.

    The Big Little Lies star then turned back towards Salma and appeared to have a heated exchange with the fellow Hollywood heavyweight.

    The Moulin Rouge! actress walked away, leaving Salma alone to pose with the Firework singer.

    Some reports and social media posts alleged that Nicole said “don’t touch me” during their interaction.

    The eyebrow-raising moment quickly went viral online.

    “That was so awkward,” one social media commented while another said, “Oh god, you could cut the tension with a knife. Why is Nicole being so rude?”

    “Love Nicole’s attitude, she does her own thing,” one commenter said

    One fan on Reddit came to Nicole’s defense, pointing out that she had just lost her mother the same month.

    “I get that Salma was probably trying to direct her to pose for the cameras, but some people don’t like to be touched regardless of the situation, and you just gotta respect that,” they said.

    The Mexico-born actress later shared pictures from the glamorous show, including one with the Moulin Rouge! star

    Others on social media weren’t too kind towards Nicole, with one saying, “Nicole seems drunk or high.”

    One went as far as to say, “Nicole is jealous of Salma.”

    Another video shared online captured the two stars at the very same event, having a conversation with each other and happily posing for photos together.

    As a visual editor in the News team, I look for the most interesting pictures and comments to make each post interesting and informative through images, so that you aren't reading only blocks of text. I joined Bored Panda not that long ago, but in this short amount of time I have covered a wide range of topics: from true crime to Taylor Swift memes (my search history is very questionable because of that).In my freetime, I enjoy spending time at the gym, gaming, binging Great British Bake Off and adding yet another tattoo artist that I would love to get a tattoo from to my pinterest board.
