The 56-year-old actress admitted that she no longer feels the influence of sexuality on her career. Salma explained that for many years she wanted to act in comedies. However, the general opinion of the Hollywood elite was reduced only to an assessment of Hayek’s external data.

“They said:“ You are sexy, so you can’t have a sense of humor … ”I was not only not allowed to be smart, but they were not allowed to be funny in the 90s,” Salma assured. The situation changed after the artist began to collaborate with producer Adam Sandler. In 2010, he directed a movie star in his comedy Grown Ups. Thus, the actor marked the beginning of Salma’s career in the comedy genre.
Salma explained that now she feels the value of herself as a person. “I am in a situation in my life where I don’t think my sexuality is the only thing that is valued more. But if that were the case, I wouldn’t care, because I’ve gained enough respect from really important people, and I feel like they see beyond that,” Hayek said.

The actress was often sad at the beginning of her career, as she was chosen solely for her type. Now she says with a smile that she was able to achieve success in every genre. At the same time, she had to hear that her career was over.
“I was sad at the time, but now I do every genre. I was told that I was over – that for the last 20 years, I would have been out of work. So I’m not sad, I’m not angry; I laugh, ”quotes Salma Daily Mail.
The actress is married to a billionaire French businessman Francois-Henri Pinault. Married since 2009, they have a daughter named Valentina.

The Mexican actress posed for photographer Ashley Olah. Especially for the shooting, the performer of the role in the film “House of Gucci” chose an elegant look. She wore a long flowy creme brulee dress. The outfit emphasized Salma’s bust, waist, and hips. On-screen Frida Kahlo preferred makeup with an emphasis on the eyes and loose, smoothly straightened hair.
