Salma Hayek Goes Topless for Allure Cover Shoot ‘Photo’

Salma Hayek covers up her topless torso in her Allure magazine August 2015 cover feature.

In the black-and-white picture, the “Grown Ups 2” actress can be seen clutching her bare breasts while looking into a mirror. Her hair is styled in voluminous curls updo and her skin looks nearly wrinkle free.

“I got to work with the wonderful Patrick Demarchelier, and he always tries to do the minimum clothes possible,” Hayek says in a behind-the-scenes video from the photo shoot. “I kept my pants on though.”

Admitting that she “was very nervous” and she “looked very uncomfortable at the beginning,” she likes the final product. She thinks it “looked very nice” and “doesn’t look vulgar.”

In an interview with the magazine, Salma Hayek gushes over her husband Francois-Henri Pinault. “I wish I knew [when I was younger] that I was going to fall crazy in love with the perfect man,” the “Frida” actress shares, “I was so worried, and I dated some people I shouldn’t have dated.”

“You get desperate, and you start seeing wonderful things in, like, the wrong guys. I also found some pretty good guys. But I wish I could say to myself, ‘Hey, chill out. You’re going to get a great husband that’s going to adore you.’ I would have saved myself a lot of personal drama,” she adds.

Salma Hayek says she has never been apart from her husband and their daughter Valentina, 7, for more than two weeks. “I’ve never been apart from my daughter for more than two weeks. And same with Fracois. We don’t separate for long periods of time. Never,” shares the 48-year-old Mexican actress.

The “Desperado” actress says she didn’t “think [she] want to work anymore” after giving birth to Valentina but her husband told her to go back to work. She recalls, “It was Francois who said, ‘Oh, no, you’re going back to work.’ And I said, ‘I don’t want to.’ ‘Well, you have to. We’re not putting up with some lazy girl in the house. That’s not who I married.’ And then he said something so beautiful.”

” ‘I don’t want to be deprived of your work. I want to watch it, too. And the world has not seen the best of you yet. So you cannot stop until some of that is put out.’ So he sort of really pushed me, like, ‘Get up on your feet and get out there.’ And he was right,” she continues.

Salma Hayek had chosen to remain partially financially independent when her husband proposed to her. “I have a system in my life that I’ve chosen, where my expenses from before the marriage are my expenses,” she shares, “And [my husband] goes, ‘I know. That’s why I want to marry you.’ Maybe that’s also part of what works great in my marriage. I still have my independence. But he likes it…. And I get a lot of respect from him.”
