But first, let’s take it right back…

Raised in Mexico, Hayek started her career as an actress from the age of twelve when 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.

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.

Her first star billing came the following year when she landed a big role in Fool’s Rush In alongside Matthew Perry.

These roles gave Hayek a lot of exposure in Hollywood and she went on to work in movies such as Breaking Up (1997), Dogma, 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 she co-starred with Antonio Banderas in the Shrek spin-off film Puss in Boots.

So there’s no denying that Salma 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.

Hayek 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!

She sure looks good for it.

  via Getty Images  

It’s kind of unbelievable…

She’s fifty-five!

And shows no sign of slowing down.

Hayek is not opposed to a bikini pic.

And she’s not ashamed of it.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight last February, Hayek explained she’s not going to stop!

  via Getty Images  

“I had to lose a lot of weight and exercise to get into the bikini towards the end of last year.”

“I’m glad I took a lot of pictures, I have no shame on it, because it was the first week of the vacation.”

  via Getty Images  

“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, but I don’t know if you have that feeling, like, 2021!”

  via Getty Images  

“People are sick of it, but I’m not going to let them take a break.”

“They’re going to think I’m wearing a bikini every day. No, they’re all from the same location.”

Good on her!

And her latest Instagram post proves she’s still got it, as the star posted yet another bikini selfie on Instagram.

In her latest holiday snaps, Hayek could be seen dancing on tables in a purple bikini.

As well as showing off her toned physique in a black 2-piece featuring a stylish kaftan.

She captioned the viral post: “Ready for the week. Lista para la semana. #monday”

And I think we all wish our Mondays looked as good as hers.

Fans were quick to share their thoughts on her new pics in the comment section.

“Your husband must wake every day and ask himself, how did I get this stunning and loving wife?” one wrote.

Another simply wrote: “Simply Amazing and Stunning.”

“Absof*ckinglutly friggin GORGEOUS!!!” a third gushed.
