Angelina Jolie and Salma Hayek have become very close friends. The A-lister actresses bonded when they co-starred in the 2021 Marvel film The Eternals. And last year they worked together on Angelina's film Without Blood in Rome, Italy.Now the 57-year-old Hayek has told Entertainment Tonight that the 48-year-old Oscar-winning beauty inspires her. When asked what she likes most about the ex of Brad Pitt, she said 'everything.''She's been very, very enriching in my life, in so many ways — as mothers, you know. Most of all, as artists,' said the siren. The actress also told the outlet that she and Jolie have continued to get 'closer and closer' over time. 'And it's just natural. It's just something that flows,' Hayek added. Last year the mother of one talked about how they have a bond. 'She is probably the best director I have ever worked with, and I have worked with some pretty good ones,' said Hayek who has appeared in Robert Rodriguez's From Dusk Till Dawn and Steven Soderbergh's Traffic. 'I've always loved her as a director, but I think this might be her best, or one of the best,' said the pinup. Without Blood is a drama with the press release sharing: 'An unforgettable fable set in the aftermath of an unidentified conflict, it explores universal truths about war, trauma, memory, and healing.' In September 2021 the Maleficent actress was seen with the Frida star during her 55th birthday celebrations.Jolie even participated as the Hollywood beauty let her face be pushed into a white cake while her pals chanted 'Mordida.' Mordida - which means 'bite' in Spanish - is a Mexican tradition at birthday parties. Usually the person who is having the birthday gets their hands pulled back while their face is pushed into the cake, which is typically a fluffy and creamy tres leches. The guests yell Mordida! over and over. And Angelina was seen doing some of the pushing herself as her hand was on Salma's back. Jolie was dressed in all black with black high heels with her long brunette hair worn down as she joined in the chant. Hayek was in blue with boots and a long necklace and her dark hair down.The family chanted Mordida as Hayek gets nervous for the dunk but seems prepared as she holds her locks back. 'My brother @hayekstudio and me trying to teach Angie how to do the mexican mordida @angelinajolie Mi hermano sami y yo enseñandole a #anjelinajolie como se hace la mordida!' wrote the mother-of-one in her caption. The Eternals is an action movie about a race of immortal beings with superhuman powers who have secretly lived on Earth for thousands of years, reunite to battle the evil Deviants. Jolie plays Thena and Hayek is Ajak. The superstar has still be involved in a custody fight with ex Pitt. Together they have raised six kids: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Vivienne and Knox.
