David Appleby Salma Hayek and Ryan Reynolds in Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard

Ryan Reynolds plays a bodyguard in Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard but he admits Salma Hayek may be a better fit for the role.

On Tuesday, the actor and actress appeared on Good Morning America to promote their new film, also starring Samuel L. Jackson, when Reynolds was asked who would be the better hitman, bodyguard and conman.

"Sam and I are all show and zero go," Reynolds, 44, said. "I feel like Salma would actually make a really wonderful hitman who moonlights as a bodyguard but is also on the side got a bit of a con."

He continued, "I'm not even making that up, if it went down out there in the world, the first person I would try to find is Salma. I would just strap her to the front of my body and I would just start running toward danger."

Hayek, 54, laughed and said Reynolds's comment was "a compliment because he's saying he would feel safe with me which is true."

She then offered her own perspective on who would best fit the bill in terms of roles: "I think Sam would be a better hitman because he's so nice but you shouldn't make him mad."

"I think Ryan would be the best conman because he's always thinking and figuring out ways to do things. I really think he can convince you to do anything," Hayek said. "And I'd be the best bodyguard because im a mama bear, don't mess with my children."

The sequel also stars Antonio Banderas, Morgan Freeman, Richard E. Grant and Frank Grillo.

Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard opens in theaters on Wednesday.
