Salma Hayek feels more confident than ever in her forties
FOR decades she has been considered one of the world’s sexiest women but Salma Hayek felt uncomfortable with the accolade until she hit her 40s.
Salma feels comfortable in her forties
The 48-year-old actress didn’t appreciate being described as a “bombshell” in her 1992 movie Desperado, in which she famously danced in sexy red lingerie, because she wanted to be taken seriously as an actress.
“When you start you’re like, ‘No, I want them to see me for my talent and know me as an actress’,” said Mexican-born Salma.
You really like to be hot after you’re 40
“When I did Desperado my English was worse than now. I read the reviews that, ‘Salma Hayek was a bombshell’, and to me this means I was terrible, that I had bombed.
“Everyone told me, ‘No, no, it means you’re great, that you’re sexy!’
“Now they want to give me a decade of hotness, I’m like, ‘Bring it on!’ You really like to be hot after you’re 40.”
