Salma Hayek admits she's still struggling to shed weight from her role in House Of Gucci

Salma Hayek is still working on losing the weight she put on for her role in House Of Gucci.

‘I’ve lost very little. You go, “Whoa, whoa, whoa.” You gain it so fast, but it takes so long to lose it,’ explained the Frida actress, 54, in a new interview with InStyle.

And while her main goal is to keep healthy, the Mexican-born beauty admitted she was also worried about ‘what’s expected for a woman who people consider good-looking.’

‘As you get older, you’re expected not to age,’ the actress/producer went on.

But Salma said she was grateful for her health, given ‘how much mileage I put on my body’ and ‘how much pressure and judgment I put on it, my body has been incredibly generous.’

‘I don’t think I am some hot tamale, but I know that for my age, for the lifestyle that I lived, I’m not doing too badly,’ the star said.

Salma went on to say how she attributes her wellness to her two-plus decades of practicing meditation.

‘It makes you experience your body with a lightness that’s really delicious and satisfying,’ the Like A Boss star explained.

‘With the breathing and the going inside, you explore your body in a different way, and you learn not to go crazy with the expectations.’

Hayek plays psychic Pina Auriemma in Ridley Scott’s House Of Gucci, which explores the 1995 murder of Italian fashion heir Maurizio Gucci, played by Adam Driver.

Based on a non-fiction of the same name, the movie tells the saga of how Gucci’s jilted ex-wife Patrizia Reggiani, played by Lady Gaga, organized a hit on her ex-husband.

She was eventually tried and convicted of orchestrating the assassination.

As Reggiani’s best friend, Auriemma also had a hand in organizing the murder-for-hire, also serving time in a Milan prison.

House Of Gucci – which also stars Jared Leto, Jeremy Irons, Jack Huston, Reeve Carney, and Al Pacino – is planning on a November 2021 release.
