Of course, everyone immediately began to praise the shape of the star. One can only envy how great this woman looks in her 50s!
Let us remind you that the other day the actress gave an interview to The Edit magazine and frankly spoke about the unpleasant changes with age. But she still said that she accepts herself in any way.
“I won’t lie - I want the curves not to stick out in some places, but I like moderate roundness. I love the definition of “lush, seductive,” because straight lines are boring,” Salma tried to console herself.
The artist was also not afraid to tell that she was getting old and that her health was not as good as she would like.

“The worst part of age is my eyes, not the wrinkles, but the vision itself. I am an absolute visual person, but now I can’t even read without glasses. It's really sad. Vision problems are even worse than menopause,” the actress admitted.
However, Hayek still has a lot of energy, and her character and temperament take their toll, so the actress takes an active position in life. However, she also experiences periods of bad mood, apathy, when she feels unhappy.
“When I feel unhappy, I become a bitch. Sometimes I drink beer or take a bath to relax. There is one more thing that has a beneficial effect on me - music. I meditate, I breathe, but at first I still become a bitch,” the actress admitted in an interview.
She tries to be interesting to her husband, French billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault.
“My husband loves my curly hair. Sometimes I complain that I can’t go to an event with such a mop on my head, but he convinces me: “But you’re like a high-voltage wire, that’s why your hair is like that,” Salma quoted Pino as saying.
Let us add that the actress is not averse to making fun of herself. A couple of weeks ago, she posted a photo of a dresser tightening her corset. And she wrote that she had such a simple secret to her slimness and thin waist.
