Angelina Jolie cements new bonds with Salma Hayek at her 55th Birthday

Mexican-American actor Salma Hayek recently turned 55 on September 2. In a video that the Frida star shared on Instagram a day later, Salma Hayek is spotted with Angelina Jolie and with Sami Hayek, her brother and a bunch of friends in a boisterous Mexican birthday style celebration. Salma Hayek and Angelina Jolie are working together in the upcoming project titled. “The Eternals”.

Angelina Jolie after an apparent little bit of hesitation and goading, shoves Salma’s face into the cake in the Mexican birthday ritual la mordida where one gets the first bite of the cake. Incidentally, Salma essays the role of Ajak plays Angelina Jolie’s leader and spiritual guide in The Eternals. Angelina Jolie is cast as Thena.

A bit of fun does no harm!

Hayek’s Instagram post caption says, “Mi hermano sami y yo enseñandole a #anjelinajolie como se hace la mordida!” (My brother and me trying to teach Angelina Jolie how to do the Mexican mordida).

One can hear Salma Hayek say “Do It!” after which Angelina Jolie does a near-perfect la mordida and almost feels remorseful immediately thereafter for she covers her face with her hands.

A supremely fit-looking Salma Hayek earlier posted a tantalising picture of her in a one-piece blue bathing suit. The star congratulated herself on her birthday “Happy 55th birthday to me. Looking forward to new adventures #grateful.”

The adventure Salma Hayek could possibly be referring to is The Eternals. The Eternals is the third film in Marvel Cinematic Universe phase four and is scheduled for release on November 5, 2021. The movie is directed by Oscar winning director, Chloé Zhao. The Eternals also features Gemma Chan, Kumail Nanjiani, Richard Madden, and Kit Harington.

What is the movie “The Eternals” about?

The Eternals are a group of immortals who are tasked with protecting the human race from the “deviants”. The adversaries of Los Eternos are picturised as creepy monster-looking things that this group has seven days to destroy.

While The Eternals will unravel their strategy on how they will combat the Deviants, this post by Salma Hayek has further given her fans a peep into the fast cementing bond with her co-star Angelina Jolie.

This Mexican birthday bash could also be a welcome distraction for Angelina Jolie who is involved in a messy legal battle with Brad Pitt for the custody of her six children. Pitt was also her reel life husband in Mr and Mrs Smith.
