Salma Hayek Celebrates 57th Birthday With Beach Photo Shoot: ‘I’m So Happy to Be Alive’

Some of Hayek’s celebrity friends chimed in the comment sections including, Viola Davis, who wrote, “Happiest of birthdays,” while Anthony Hopkins said, “Feliz Cumpleaños Salma We love you.”

Priyanka Chopra-Jonas also wrote, “Happy birthday gorgeous.”

In a conversation with W Magazine last month, the 57-year-old recalled a sticky situation involving her first kiss that led to her home being infested by ants.

“[It was in] Coatzacoalcos, in my little town in Mexico,” she said. “It was very memorable, for a very stupid long story. I wanted to taste good, so I kept putting honey on my lips. And I said, ‘What did it taste like?’ And he said, ‘Like honey,’ but it’s the cliche—that’s what they say.”

She continued, “And so I kept putting honey on my lips and I burned my mouth and I had an infestation of ants in my bedroom. And something that started real romantic turned out to be kind of disastrous.”
