Ryan Reynolds invited Salma Hayek over for dinner, and somehow she got stuck doing all the work

Can Hayek be our friend, too?

Just because you're famous doesn't mean when you're invited to someone's house for dinner, they don't expect you to work.

On Thursday, actress Salma Hayek posted a picture of herself on Instagram, showing off that she scored an invite to Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively's house for dinner. But she probably didn't count on having to cook and babysit.

The photo shows Hayek holding the couple's daughter, Ines, on her hip while cooking dinner — all while Reynolds cheers them on in the background.

In Reynold's defense, parenting can be pretty exhausting. Sometimes you just have to let your fellow actors help you out whenever they can.

Though the pair will co-star in the upcoming movie The Hitman's Body Guard, this isn't the first time Hayek's showed up in support of Reynolds. On Instagram last year, she posted a picture of herself posing with a Deadpool figure and congratulating Reynolds on his success with the Deadpool movie.
