Los Angeles, CA – Eminem had a brief, messy exchange with Selma Hayek after he performed “Lose Yourself” at the 92nd Annual Academy Awards on Sunday (February 9).

The actress revealed the story with a photo their encounter in an Instagram post Wednesday (February 12) after Em told Variety that his favorite moment at the ceremony was meeting her backstage.

“In these pictures it might look like Eminem and I are best friends, but what really happened is as he was walking fstage and I was getting ready to walk onstage, I was so shocked to see him that I spilled water all over him,” Hayek said. “If you examine our faces, I look mortified and he looks terrified me.

“As I was trying to wipe it f I impulsively hugged him and I said ‘Nice to meet you Eminem- I’m a huge fan!’ because I am!”

En estas imágenes podría parecer que Eminem y yo somos mejores amigos, pero lo que realmente sucedió es que mientras el salía del escenario y me preparaba para entrar, me sorprendió tanto verlo que le tiré agua encima. Si examinas la foto, me veo mortificado y él se ve aterrorizado de mí. Mientras intentaba limpiarlo, lo abracé impulsivamente y le dije: "Encantado de conocerte, Eminem. ¡Soy un ENORME fan!" Pero estaba muy decepcionada de haber hecho el ridículo al conocerlo… y luego leí esto deslizar hacia la derecha] en @rollingstone. Eminem eres grande!!!

Em performed 8 Mile track 17 years after “Lose Yourself” won the Best Original Song category at the 2003 Oscars.
