Angelina Jolie has often said that she doesn’t have many friends in Hollywood.
But that’s not true. She has at least one Hollywood best friend: Salma Hayek.
The two were seen on Sunday evening at the Golden Globe Awards at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.
The two sirens bonded while making the superhero film The Eternals, which was released in 2021. Jolie played Thena while Hayek was Ajak.
They have become so close that they have spent time together, such as at one of Hayek’s birthday parties. In fact, they get along so well that Angelina cast Salma in her 2025 film Without Blood.
Jolie, who finalized her divorce from Brad Pitt last month, was also seen hugging Kate Winslet.

In September, Hayek talked about how much she enjoyed working with Angelina’s children on Without Blood
The Oscar winner, 49, hired her sons Maddox, 23, and Pax, 20, to work on the set of Without Blood in the assistant director department.
The AD department acts as a liaison between the director and other departments.
“They work hard,” star Hayek said People at the film’s premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, adding that the director “dealt with them very professionally” on set.
‘She is demanding. They had the respect of the crew, were good to the crew and felt very at home,” the Academy Award nominee explained.
“They didn’t treat me like they treated me out there. They were very much like, “You have to come,” and I said, “Okay!” It was quite fun.
‘They work hard. They are very serious about what they do.’
The Mexican-born beauty said she had to adjust the way she interacted with the boys on set.

“It’s kind of funny, I teased them at first, but then I had to say, ‘No. “I need to break up and just treat them like professionals because that’s disrespectful,” she explained.
Pax recovered enough from his e-bike accident to join his mother on the red carpet. Maddox was not present at the festival.
Without Blood is, according to the TIFF synopsis, a “parable story about family, war and revenge.”
‘In a frontier landscape at the turn of the 20th century, armed men descend on a remote farm, determined to take revenge. Their target, a doctor, alone with his son and daughter, desperately tries to protect his children. Inevitably, bullets will fly.”

Hayek said there was a bit of a role reversal for Jolie during the making of the film.
‘In [Eternals] I was a bit of a mother figure to her. In this film, I felt like she was my mother figure because she came to the set and ran it like a family,” the actress explained.
“She was a very efficient mother, but she was also there emotionally every step of the way.”
Hayek’s daughter Valentina, 16, who she shares with husband François-Henri Pinault, was also on set, which the doting mother said made the shoot “so comfortable and beautiful.”
