Salma Hayek’s shocking 1995 casting photo goes viral

Salma Hayek's casting photo from 1995 has gone viral nearly three decades later.

The actress, 58, was praised by fans after social media sleuths unearthed a Polaroid photo of her at the beginning of her acting career when she was just breaking into Hollywood. 

The headshot was accompanied by her acting resume and appeared in Latina Magazine in 2018. 

In reaction to the photo, social media users gushed about how she looked nearly the same as she does now despite how much time has passed.

The Desperado star — who showcased her chic sense of style while taking a smoke break and shopping last month — was lauded for her seemingly ageless beauty.

She wore a nude-colored, low-cut T-shrit with a gold cross pendant as she showed off her sultry smolder and her signature, voluminous dark hair.

Alongside the photo, there was an attached resume, which seemed to be from 1997, showing her breakout role as Carolina in Desperado and several other appearances.

It showed her roles from the 1993 indie drama Mi Vida Loca all the way up to her breakout appearance in the 1997 romantic comedy Fools Rush In. 

Her various theater roles and three awards were also listed.

Hayek began her entertainment career in 1989 and started making minor acting appearances before her breakout role in 1995. 

The casting materials provided a glimpse into the trajectory of her rise to superstardom.

She went on to star in one of her most iconic roles as Frida Kahlo in the titular biopic Frida in 2002. 

Hayek's portrayal of the famous Mexican artist earned her an Academy Award for Best Actress. 

Since then, Hayek has gone on to become an acclaimed film producer in addition to an award-winning actress.

Most recently, she starred opposite Channing Tatum in Magic Mike's Last Dance, which was released in February 2023. 

Earlier this year, she talked about her decades-spanning resume and said her acting career improved after she turned 40.

About her most iconic, breakout role, she told the Wall Street Journal in October: 'I don't think there was one that opened so many doors. 

'I would think every time, "This is the one. Now, you know, people are gonna bring me the good roles." But it didn't happen like that for me,' she explained. 

'Even after I was nominated for an Oscar, the type of roles that I got didn't change.'

Hayek added: 'What has opened the doors for me, it's been my tenacity, my consistency. I just wouldn't go away. 

'And it's funny, just when they told me, like, "After a certain age, that's it, your career is over." That's when my career started getting better.'

She continued: 'They said, "You stop working at 40 in Hollywood." 

'And here we are, 58, I'm still working.'
