Salma Hayek Has a Very Surprising Fear!

Salma Hayek and her mother Diana Jimenez take the cover of Hola! USA‘s May 2017 issue.

Here’s what the 50-year-old actress had to share with the mag:

On her 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.”

On being a mother: “Feeling responsible helps you develop as a human being…You learn a lot about yourself when you do something for someone else.”

Diana, on her daughter: “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.”
