10 Movie Scenes That Affected Actors In Profound Ways

Another moment that likely massively affected just about every human on the planet during their first watch of the magic 1971 movie, the scene which introduces the Chocolate Room in Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory is up there as one of the most wondrous of all time.

And one youngster was so profoundly inspired by this exciting scene that she eventually decided to pursue a career that would involve her stepping onto this sort of mind-blowing set.

While not specifically realising she wanted to become an actor there and then, the brilliant Salma Hayek knew after witnessing the film's chocolate river scene and things like burping your way back down to earth after floating into the sky (via Live Kelly & Ryan), that she had to be a part of this industry in some way.

This all made something "click" in her brain, as the star put it, and Hayek went about finding a way to step into this place where "everything was possible" in the years that would follow.

So, if it hadn't been for the likes of Augustus Gloop going for a dip in a chocolate river, fans may have never been treated to the gift of Hayek in everything from Frida to Eternals.
