Knocked Up Celebs

Salma Hayek is a busy wife to Francois-Henri Pinault, and mom to daughter, Valentina. She is currently starring in the movie Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant, where she plays a woman with a beard. She recently talked to Parade about the role and her perception of ugly.

On having a beard for a role: “I haven’t had this much facial hair since I had those fuzzy eyebrows in Frida. Everybody said, ‘Oh, my God. You look so hot with the beard.’ It’s like when people tell you, ‘You look gorgeous,’ when you are pregnant. You are like a swollen whale and never looked worse in your life. And somebody goes, ‘You’re glowing.’ They don’t have the courage to tell you how bad you look.”

On how her daughter was okay with it: “Valentina saw me with the beard and seemed to understand it was only makeup. She was seven months old and she was not freaking out. I let her watch me when they put it on, which took hours and she was fascinated. And, she knew not to touch it. I kept my daughter with me the whole time we were filming because otherwise I don’t see her the whole day. She’s an amazing child. At nine months old she was already walking and talking.”

On how she feels ugly sometimes: “I won a ‘Best Body Award’ from Fitness Magazine and I was too embarrassed to accept it. I actually don’t have a good body, but if everybody thinks so, I guess it means I’m a good actress. I have acted the part of the girl who has a very good body. If you know how to dress, there’s some tricks you can pull.”
