Hollywood beauty Salma Hayek has opened up about suffering “severe, severe depression” from acne and being overweight when a struggling actress.
The Latino star, one of the most beautiful stars in the movie business, insists it was a far different story when she was 25 and trying to break into movies.
“You want to talk about bad skin? I had acne,” she said.
“And this acne was so bad it sent me into severe, severe depression.
“Like I couldn’t leave the house.
“The next stage with that sort of depression is food – too little or too much. Guess what I did?
“I was fat and broken out. I couldn’t leave the house and I couldn’t pay the rent!”
She credits director Alfonso Cuaron for teaching her “to meditate, to relax” and also says Accutane “cured” the acne.
As for more drastic beauty treatments, she insists: “Botox – trust me, I’ve been tempted, but I resist!”
