Salma Hayek, who was infected shortly after the pandemic began, refused to go to the doctor because she "preferred to die at home."
Salma Hayek has never minded talking about her private life. But there are experiences so hard and traumatic that they need time to be assimilated before being told out loud. And that is precisely the reason why the actress has waited until today to reveal that she was about to die because of Covid-19.
Although there have been many celebrities who have narrated almost in real time that they had been infected with the virus, Salma has had to wait to dare to talk about what happened when, very shortly after the pandemic began, she tested positive for the disease. .
“My doctor was begging me for her to go to the hospital because she was making me so sick. But I refused, I preferred to die at home", the Mexican revealed in Variety, where she also remembers the seven very hard weeks that she spent isolated in a room in her London house, where she lives with her husband François-Henri Pinault and her daughter Valentina. , 13 years old.
Although the first stages of the disease were critical, even connecting to an oxygen bottle, Salma eventually managed to overcome her battle against the coronavirus. Of course, the recovery was very slow. So much so that today she assures that she has not yet recovered all the energy that she had before getting infected.
A condition that has not prevented her from returning to work last April to participate in the filming of House of Gucci, where she gives life to a clairvoyant who was convicted in 1995 of helping Patricia Reggiani, played by Lady Gaga, to organize the murder of her ex-husband, Mauricio Gucci,
“It has been a simple shoot because there are not many scenes. The perfect movie to go back to my previous life. Now I also do more and more Zoom meetings, but not many because I am still very tired, ”she explains. We are very happy that everything ended well.
