Salma Hayek Marks 53rd Birthday

Oscar-nominated actress Salma Hayek is marking another trip around the sun by a jaw-dropping bikini photo.

Just days after wowing fans with a series of snapshots showing her floating in the ocean while wearing a one-piece swimsuit, the actress is back with a bikini pic just in time for her 53rd birthday.

"Yes, tomorrow I’m 53. So!? Si, mañana cumplo 53. Y!?" Salma captioned on Instagram.

Her latest Instagram photo shows her proudly showing off her curves in a turquoise bikini, one hip defiantly jutted out to the side.

In July, Hayek has become the first Arab actress with a main role to be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), where she is set to star in Marvel's movie "The Eternals".

The marvel movie, directed by Chloé Zhao, is slated to release on November 6, 2020.

The Mexican actress, whose character is originally a man in the comic, said in a statement that is she "kind of the leader" of the group and has a more motherly role.

She shared a heartfelt reaction to her casting on Instagram in both English and Spanish: “I’m so excited to join the Marvel family as Ajak, the mother of all Eternals. It used to be the father of all Eternals, but girls… this is OUR time!!!! Estoy muy emocionada de añadirme a la familia Marvel como Ajak la madre de todos los Eternos. Antes era el padre de todos los Eternos, pero chicas… ESTE es nuestro momento!!!!”

The actress is the second Mexicana superhero for Marvel (the first being Natalia Cordova-Buckley, who plays Elena “Yo-Yo” Rodtiguez in “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D”), but this isn’t the first gender-swapped role Marvel has announced.

It will be produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures and is intended to be the twenty-fifth film in MCU.

The film is directed by Chloé Zhao, written by Matthew and Ryan Firpo.

It features an ensemble cast including Angelina Jolie, Richard Madden, Kumail Nanjiani, Lauren Ridloff, Brian Tyree Henry, Salma Hayek, Lia McHugh, Don Lee, Gemma Chan, Barry Keoghan, and Kit Harington.

The Eternals are a fictional race of humanoids appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.
