The 45-year-old actress Salma Hayek is married to French billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault, with who she has four-year-old daughter Valentina, but insists she doesn’t rely on him for money, though she admits she is happy to have his support when she is experiencing “troubles”.
She said, “I work hard, I make my own living and I love it. I like having financial independence. I don’t ever want to have to depend on anyone completely. But when I have troubles sometimes, it’s nice to have someone there to help.”
Francois-Henri is the CEO of luxury goods firm PPR, which own fashion houses Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent, and while Salma likes to “play fashion” with him, she insists her spouse doesn’t tell her what to wear.
She told the November issue of Redbook magazine, “I like to play fashion with him, but I’m nobody’s Barbie.”
The actress admits becoming a mother has had an impact on some of her career choices, such as voicing a character in Puss in Boots so Valentina can watch it, she insists she is not afraid of playing a “devil” if a role calls for it.
She added, “I’m playing the queen of a drug cartel in an Oliver Stone film. He asked if I’d gone ‘all soft’ because I’m a mother. I said, ‘Yes, but I can be the devil if I need to, because after all, I’m an actress’.”
