“I was forbidden to be funny”: Salma Hayek spoke frankly about her career in Hollywood

Salma Hayek has become the main character of the new issue of GQ magazine. In an interview, the 56-year-old Latino actress spoke about her career in Hollywood and the difficulties she had to face. For the photo shoot, the stylists chose images from Vivienne Westwood and Bottega Veneta.

In a dialogue with an interviewer, Hayek noted that directors and producers did not take her to comedy projects for a long time. Salma believes that because of her sexuality, she was a hostage to the image of “seductive beauty”.

All my life I wanted to do comedies, but they wouldn’t let me. Literally said: “You are sexy, so you are not allowed to have a sense of humor.” Not only are you not allowed to be smart, but in the 90s you were also not allowed to be funny.

In 2010, Salma first played in Adam Sandler’s comedy Odnoklassniki. At that time, the actress was already over forty. Over the years of his career, Hayek has repeatedly been included in the lists of the most beautiful women in the world. Now the star is happily married to billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault and is glad that sexuality is no longer perceived as her main quality. Salma Hayek is self-confident and believes that she is strong in any genre and has long proved everything to everyone.

I have earned enough respect from really important people to feel that they see much more in me.

From the French billionaire, Salma gave birth to a daughter, Valentina. Last year, the actress, along with the young heiress, posed for the cover of Mexican Vogue. They appeared in delicate neutral images with accentuated eyelashes and the effect of wet lips. For the photo shoot, both mother and daughter dressed in designer outfits that are unusual for Valentina – in everyday life, the girl prefers sportswear.
