Salma Hayek is HOLA! USA’s May cover star, alongside her mother Diana Jimenez. This is the very first time a mother and daughter has done a cover together for Mother’s Day. The HOLA! USA interview with this dynamic duo reveals some fun tidbits you never knew about them:
-
Salma’s surprising fear:
“I suffer from stage fright. No one would know it, but I get it really, really bad. If you take the camera away and put me in front of an audience, I just die. Once I get onto stage, you can’t tell. But then I can’t do anything else the rest of the day because I’m so exhausted.”
-
Willy Wonka’s world made her fall in love with film:
I went to see Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and it wasn’t that I said, “I want to be an actress,” but rather, “There is a world where anything is possible. There can be a chocolate river. There are no limitations.” And that’s how I fell in love with film

Diana on Salma:
“I always knew that Salmita would be something big in her life because of her personality, her way of always working for what she wants, but she surprises me. She continues to surprise me more and more. There was one thing that I wanted: that was for Salma to be free to grow up and do whatever she wanted.”

Salma’s take on motherhood:
“Feeling responsible helps you develop as a human being…You learn a lot about yourself when you do something for someone else.”
