Many words come to mind when thinking about Salma Hayek, but “cringe” is definitely not one of them. However, “E! Online” once begged to differ.
When Salma made a statement about her willingness to fight for men as much as she’d fight for women, E! referred to her as, and we quote,”cringe-worthy.” We’re not sure if the people at E! understand the meaning of the word “cringe,” and recommend they have a quick look at the dictionary.
Salma and Josh Lucas
Among Salma's list of former lovers (which we wish we were on), one can find Hollywood hotty Josh Lucas. Sadly, the two dated for only a year then broke up. According to Lucas, the main reason for their breakup was Salma being way too busy with her career to invest in a romantic relationship with him.
Between that and Lucas's own busy career, the two just couldn't make it work. So sad.
Grown Ups? Not So Much
You'd think prejudice in show business would be out by now, but guess not? When Adam Sandler cast Salma to play a role in his movie "Grown-Ups," things didn't go so smoothly at first. Studio executive told Sandler they wanted him to cast someone "less ethnic" instead.
Luckily, Sandler wouldn't put up with those types of discriminative requests and told them it wasn't an option. All well that ends well!
Stalked
All that glitters is not gold, and what happened to Hayek in 2015 is a fine example of that. Back then, the actress was being stalked and harassed by a woman who did pretty much everything in the stalker playbook, from impersonating Salma and trying to contact her family to follow her.
This episode ended with Salma filing a restraining order against the woman. We're just glad she's okay.
Late Motherhood
Did you know Salma became a mom at the age of 41? Not that we mind, God forbid! We're all for being a super-busy, super-successful career woman; but that's definitely a noteworthy fact. Of course, we can totally understand why it took her some time to get to being a mom, with such an amazing and eventful Hollywood career.
Who has the time? Anyway, Salma says that he daughter, Valentina, is one the most fulfilling things in her life.
