We’ve been waiting for this picture for months since the news first broke that the gorgeous Salma Hayek was going to be covering her face with a beard for a role in The Vampire’s Assistant (formerly known as Cirque du Freak). And today our patience was rewarded.

EW.com scored the exclusive, which you can see below. Hayek portrays Madame Truska, girlfriend of the titular vampire (John C. Reilly). Hayek’s character sprouts whiskers every time she gets passionate with her boyfriend. “So she needs to be very comfortable with herself, which Salma really is in real life,” says director Paul Weitz. “I thought, of all people to have that problem, she’d be an interesting one.”

Interesting, indeed! Tell us what you think about hairy Hayek below!
