Salma Hayek is celebrating her birthday with a bikini clad birthday dump on Instagram and she wants her fans to know that non of her pictures are throwbacks.
“Birthday bikini dump, happy 58th birthday to me! ????❤️????P.s none of these are throwbacks,” Hayek wrote on IG before repeating the message in Spanish and concluding with “#grateful.”
According to Vibe The photos showcase the House of Gucci actress in various outfits as she poses on a yacht, with the expansive ocean serving as a stunning backdrop in several of the shots. The bikini photos seem to be becoming a bit of a tradition for the Hollywood icon, who also marked her 57th birthday last year with a series of sun-soaked, beachside images.
Advice to her 30 year old self
In a 2023 interview with Glamour’s Sam Reed, Hayek reflected on aging and offered some advice she’d give to her 30-year-old self: “Stop being melodramatic.”
“I would say, ‘Great things are coming your way. Do not settle for the wrong man.’ That’s something I really thank myself for.” And, ‘Do not listen to all these expiration dates that they give you,’”
“Because I was also told that, as an actress, you kind of stop working around 30. Imagine? I did really feel it at the time, and it’s unfair. If I had said instead to myself, ‘Don’t worry, your best professional moments are going to be in your 50s,’ I would have been devastated: ‘Oh my God, do I have to wait that long?’ But it’ll happen.”
“I thought getting older meant I wasn’t going to work; I’m working. I thought getting older maybe meant that you’re not in love anymore; I’m in love. I don’t feel that I lost my flexibility or my agility or even my strength. I do have to say that I have found it beautiful, getting older with someone.”
Hayek is referring to husband François-Henri Pinault, whom she wed in 2009, and recently celebrated their 15th anniversary.
The couple also share a daughter, Valentina Paloma, whom they welcomed in 2007.
