Actress Salma Hayek is no stranger to showing off her toned figure in a bikini on Instagram, but now she’s gone further and bared it all…
And fans absolutely love it!
Salma recently revealed the reasons behind her scantily clad selfies.
And she won’t stop posting them, especially not after sharing this…
But first, let’s take it right back…
Raised in Mexico, Hayek started her career as an actress at the young age of twelve…
She attended the Academy of the Sacred Heart in Grand Coteau, Louisiana.
This was quite rare because the majority of working-class families in Mexico wouldn’t have had the resources to fund their child in an American acting school.
But luckily, this put her on the road to success.
She began her career in Mexico…
Hayek landed the title role in Teresa (1989), a successful Mexican telenovela that rocketed her to stardom in Mexico.
She then went on to star in the romantic drama El Callejón de los Milagros in 1995, later being nominated for an Ariel Award.
She went on to study acting under Stella Adler — but as a woman with limited English and a diagnosis of dyslexia, this proved to be extremely challenging.
However, she soon established herself in Hollywood.
After a couple of minor roles, the actress landed a small but major role in the 1996 cult classic From Dusk Till Dawn alongside George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino.
This saw Hayek take on the character Santanico Pandemonium…
This was actually a tribute to a Mexican horror movie of the same name from 1975.
Hayek was perfect for the part.
I mean who could pull off playing a 102-year-old vampire queen better?
After this hit performance, Hayek opened the doors to Hollywood.
And her first-star billing came the following year.
She landed a big role in Fool’s Rush In alongside Matthew Perry.
These roles gave Hayek a lot of exposure.
And subsequently, she was a hot topic in every director’s book…
She went on to work in movies such as Breaking Up (1997), Dogma (1990), and Wild Wild West (1999).
Her career only skyrocketed from there…
She also starred in the movie, Frida, which was critically acclaimed.
In more recent times, Hayek played the wife of Adam Sandler’s character in Grown Ups…
And it’s recently been announced that she’s starring in a brand new Netflix feature film alongside Anne Hathaway.
The film is based on the novel by Kōtarō Isaka…
The same writer adapted his works for the hit movie Bullet Train.
The actress has also tried her hand at voice work…
She co-starred with Antonio Banderas in the Shrek spin-off film Puss in Boots.
So there’s no denying that Hayek is a Hollywood icon…
And she most certainly looks like one!
As well as being incredibly talented, she is known for her s*x appeal.
But also for her naturally beautiful looks.
The star married François-Henri Pinault back in 2009.
And they share a daughter together who was born in 2007.
It’s impossible to deny that Hayek is beautiful.
But many have been shocked to discover her age!
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight in February 2021…
Hayek explained why she will not stop posting them.
And people have been absolutely loving what she had to say.
Many fans took to social media to share their thoughts on her comments…
“Whoever told her not to wear whatever she wants? This woman is gorgeous in a bikini or damn turtle neck. Anybody offended by her choice of clothes is just too damn bored,” wrote one.
“She is one of the most beautiful women ever so no apologies,” another agreed.
“The old adage, “if you’ve got it, flaunt it”, comes to mind. She looks terrific at any age and possesses all the necessary attributes to keep those photos on overdrive,” a third commented.
While another fan admitted: “And I have no plans to stop looking at them!”
Hayek has almost thirty million Instagram followers, for context.
Her last bikini shot, posted on September 2, got over 7 million likes.
“I’m glad I took a lot of pictures, I have no shame on it, because it was the first week of the vacation,” Hayek shared.
“I saved my pictures; I’m not in the same condition today, and I’m spreading the love out like every two weeks.”
“I’m going to put up another one. I’m almost running out of them!
“People are sick of it, but I’m not going to let them take a break,” she continued.
“They’re going to think I’m wearing a bikini every day. No, they’re all from the same location,” Hayek revealed.
She’s definitely the queen of the bikini selfie on Instagram!
But now she’s bared even more…
Opening up about her breasts and how they “keep growing.”
The actress revealed on Red Table Talk that fans have accused her of enhancing her chest.
But she denied the rumors, admitting that they’ve naturally grown.
“A lot of people said that I had breast augmentation. I don’t blame them! My boobs were smaller! So was the rest of my body,” she said.
“There are some women that when you gain weight, your boobs grow, and other women that when you have children and you breastfeed your boobs grow and they don’t go back down, and then in some of the cases when you are in menopause, they grow again,” she added. “I just happen to be one of those women that it happened in every single step! When I gain weight, when I got pregnant and when I am in menopause.”
And she’s actually admitted it’s not been great for her.
Saying that after her chest grew “many, many sizes” it’s caused a lot of suffering to her back.
