Salma Hayek kept her daughter away from the "Savages" movie set, saying it was too violent for the little one to see, according to recent reports.

Hayek's daughter, four-year-old Valentina, won't be watching the film, which includes extreme violence and gore, directed by Oliver Stone, according to US Weekly.

Hayek, 45, plays a terrifying Mexican cartel "queen" who kidnaps Blake Lively's character "O" in the film.

"She's not going to watch this movie," Hayek recently said on the Tonight Show of her only child, whose father is mogul Francois-Henri Pinault, whom Hayek wed in 2009. "Actually, this was the only movie that she was not on the set. I usually bring her on the set and she always likes to sit right next to the monitor and she bosses everyone around."

And, indeed, that probably wouldn't have set well with notoriously intense director Stone. "I know Oliver Stone would have not let [Valentina] come in and say, 'Excuse me, Oliver, let me just take over the set.' No,'" Hayek joked.

"I mean, it's very sexy, this movie," Hayek explained on LIVE! With Kelly last Wednesday, "It's very, very violent so if you're the kind of people who like sexy and violence, if you like it hot, this movie is for you. But done beautifully. It's very elegant."

In a report from ShowbizSpy, Hayek said that she will stop working on her career if it starts to interfere with her daughter's development.

"If later on it gets in the way of her development, I'll just stop working," the actress said. "For right now, it works. I work mostly in the summers. I usually work in the Sandler family or with Kevin James."

"I get a lot of help from my husband. You have to have a partner. When I get freaked out, he's like, 'Don't worry, it will work itself out. How can I help you?' Hayek said. "He calms me down. I am more hysterical than he is. It's very easy to bail out. A lot of women don't get support in their professional lives from their husbands."

"Savages" is about the rage as two drug dealers, played by Taylor Kitsch and Aaron Johnson, who try to get back their girlfriend whom they share, Blake Lively's "O (short for Ophelia)," from a kidnapping. It came out in theaters on July 6.
