In Hummingbird Hayek plays a trading tycoon who finds herself in competition with a former employee (Alexander Skarsgard) and his cousin (Jesse Eisenberg) as they battle to control a technology that could make its owner a fortune. At a time when she could be resting on her laurels, Hayek is choosing projects, like this month’s thriller The Hummingbird Project, that are as challenging as they are compelling. Given the influence she wields, Hayek could be unbearable, but she is charming company because she makes it seem as if success is chasing her, not the other way around. At the fittings she had input “on the shape, the materials, and the color,” and when she talked to the designer about her dogs-Hayek is said to have close to 30 pets-“we ended up embroidering one of them into the dress.” Her outfit was one of the event’s most talked-about ensembles. Joseph Altuzarra, who designed Hayek’s gown for the 2018 Met gala, says she “has an incredible confidence and power.” And, he continues, she is never afraid to take a risk. On top of that, she’s married to billionaire fashion mogul François-Henri Pinault and is courted by designers as a muse in her own right. Behind the scenes she is a dedicated social activist who works on a wide variety of issues, including women’s rights and domestic violence. She has been at the top of her professional game for decades, appearing in movies that garner box office success and critical praise. It is this same sense of ease that guides everything Hayek turns her hand to. “Sometimes I drink a lot, some days I don’t.” As if to prove this, she orders a bottle of San Pellegrino and barely touches it.

“I don’t know how to explain it.” Does she, I ask desperately, drink a lot of water? Hayek shrugs. “I haven’t done an-y-thing,” she says when we meet at a West London restaurant, enunciating the syllables with flair. Standing five-foot-two, she looks like a Disney princess painted by Frida Kahlo.

The actress and producer is 52, but she’s just as beautiful as she was when she first appeared onscreen in Desperado 24 years ago-the same high cheekbones, the same lambent brown eyes, the same perfect skin and lustrous hair. I’m trying to discern what Salma Hayek’s secret might be.
