London has given the world thousands of talented individuals. Many great writers, legendary actors<\/a>, amazing musicians, incredible scientists, and other famous people were born here. Others came from different parts of the UK, but found London to be their place of power and opportunity. It\u2019s also worth mentioning those who came from other countries and found their inspiration and path to success here. Salma Hayek is one such person. So what\u2019s the story of her life? How did she manage to succeed in the British capital? What else connects the actress to this city? Find out on london-trend<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The actress\u2019s background and her journey to London<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Salma Hayek is famous worldwide, primarily for her roles in action films. Her success in cinema includes a string of awards, such as the coveted Academy Award, an Emmy Award, and a Screen Actors Guild Award. But what do we know about her personal life and her path to success? Born on September 2, 1966, in Mexico, her story isn’t a rags-to-riches tale. She came from a wealthy family, and her mother was an opera singer, so Salma learned to appreciate art from a young age. However, not everything in her career came easily; her progress was often due to her determination and hard work. She received a good education (studying international relations) and later began to appear in films. Her professional career started in Mexico in little-known romantic dramas and telenovelas. Yet, within a few years, Salma Hayek became one of Hollywood’s most recognisable actresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The actress was increasingly cast in famous action films, and the biopic “Frida” not only brought her global recognition but also an Oscar for Best Actress. Although Salma Hayek often travelled and filmed in other countries, her success didn’t initially allow her to change her place of residence. Moving to London (or any other European city) would have seemed strange given her opportunities to stay in the US. Her journey to London began with changes in her personal life. In 2007, the world learned of her engagement to a French billionaire, and they later had a daughter. After living together in Paris for some time, the family decided to move to the British capital in 2014. This move also coincided with the couple’s fifth wedding anniversary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the opportunities for a phenomenal career in the US, and the desire of many to stay there, the UK became a comfortable place for Salma Hayek to live and advance her career. She has starred in many films in London, one of the most interesting being “Magic Mike’s Last Dance.” Parts of the film were shot in the British capital, beautifully capturing the city’s incredible architecture and overall atmosphere. Salma Hayek played the role of Maxandra, who asks Mike to perform in a theatre. A significant portion of the film was shot in London’s most popular spots. For example, some conversations took place at The Fortnum’s Bar & Restaurant at Royal Exchange, and the main characters were also filmed walking around Piccadilly Circus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to a comfortable life and filming, there’s something else that connects Salma Hayek to this country and its capital: widespread public recognition. In 2003, the actress received a British Academy Film Award nomination for Best Actress. She later graced the covers of British magazines “Maxim” and “Total Film” and became the face of the September 2019 issue of “British Vogue.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
