Salma Hayek celebrates her 60th birthday with a nude swim posted on Instagram

Salma Hayek celebrated her 60th birthday by sharing two photos taken during a nude swim in the sea on Monday, September 7. The Mexican-American actress and producer, born on September 2, 1966, posted these images on Instagram a few days after her birthday, with a message expressing her gratitude at the start of this new decade.

The photos show the star of Frida in the ocean, her body largely hidden by the water and the waves. The post quickly generated numerous reactions among her followers and several figures from the film and music industries.

According to People, Salma Hayek simply captioned the photos with the words “60 and grateful.” The magazine notes that the actress reached this age on September 2 before sharing the images five days later. Reuters Connect also shared this Instagram post on September 8.

This sequence comes a few weeks after another important family event for the actress: she became a grandmother for the first time. Her son-in-law François Pinault Jr. welcomed a boy named François with his wife Lara Cosima Henckel von Donnersmarck.

Salma Hayek has been married since 2009 to the French businessman François-Henri Pinault. The couple has a daughter, Valentina Paloma Pinault. The actress is also the stepmother to her husband’s other children.

A highly discussed anniversary

The post is part of a series of appearances in which Salma Hayek openly embraces a liberated attitude towards age and her image. At 60, the actress remains active in cinema and continues to regularly share personal moments, professional behind-the-scenes insights, and statements on the representation of women in Hollywood with her audience. In 2023, she was notably included among the 100 most influential people in the world selected by Time.

The choice of a nude swim to mark this anniversary mainly sparked reactions due to its deliberate and intimate nature, without constituting the announcement of a new project. The publication remains above all a personal message of celebration shared by the actress herself.
