'I Would Kill For A Role!' Salma Hayek Is Desperate For A Part In Downton Abbey
The actress, 47, said she would "kill" for a part in the ITV drama but is not sure what they would do with her.
Speaking to Just Jared, she revealed she and her family were planning a move to London in the near future and she would love to be in the show.
She said: "The English are so spirited but so repressed. It's so bizarre. But I love Downton Abbey. I would kill for a role.
"What's a Mexican going to do in Downton Abbey? I would have to play deaf and dumb!"
Salma, who has a cameo in Muppets Most Wanted, was also forced to deny she and billionaire husband Francois-Henri Pinault were leaving Paris and moving to London with their two children in order to avoid certain taxes.
She told Times magazine: "I want to clarify, it's not for tax purposes. We are still paying taxes here in France.
"We think that London has a lot more to offer than just a better tax situation. François thinks London is very cosmopolitan. I think it will be good for my career too."
Is that a hint to Downton creator Julian Fellows?
The fifth season of the award-winning show started filming in January and will return to ITV this autumn.
He's certainly not planning to stop writing the drama any time soon and speaking at a film event recently, he said: "I have no plans to stop writing and while ratings are as high as they are I can't see they wouldn't commission another series; it's just that they won't confirm until the fifth series is televised."
