While the actress’s social media feed gave no indication anything was amiss, she actually had a serious health scare and it’s had lasting effects. In a new interview with Variety, Salma Hayek revealed she’s spent most of the past year recovering from COVID, which she contracted during the early days of the pandemic.
“My doctor begged me to go to the hospital because it was so bad,” the 54-year-old star revealed. “I said, ‘No, thank you. I’d rather die at home.” Hayek spent seven weeks isolated in a room of the London home she shares with her husband, billionaire businessman François-Henri Pinault, and their 13-year-old daughter, Valentina. During her battle, she was placed on oxygen at one point. She told the magazine she still hasn’t fully recovered, noting that her energy levels aren’t where they used to be.
