Money Heist Star Itziar Ituño Shares Swimwear Photo Looking “Pretty”

1. Studying Sociology

Ituño never intended for acting to become her career. “Mine is a very long journey,” she says. “I studied sociology with the intention of exercising it and, at the same time, did theater for a hobby, but you never know what way you're going to take your life… I've been lucky, having worked for many years, to participate in the film Loreak and then in The Paper House.”

2. Breaking Down Barriers

Ituño is aware of the imbalance in the entertainment industry for women. “I think women suffer discrimination every day or just every day,” she says. “Many times it goes unnoticed because we have already become accustomed to things like this. I think we have to do a lot of things that as women have taught us history throughout. We must deconstruct ourselves and build again in a different way. I am on that path and I am detecting many inequalities, not only in the world of cinema, but in all areas of society. Women have a lot of work to do to change things.”

3. Ayahuasca Experience

Ituño once tried ayahuasca. “In 2002 I went to do theater workshops in Iquitos, in the Peruvian jungle, as part of a volunteer program,” she says. “I have never been into hallucinogens, they scared me a lot, but the shamans proposed a ritual for us to take ayahuasca. Being a sociologist, and being so integrated into anthropology, I was encouraged to do it. I took ayahuasca and I realized that there is something that I absolutely did not know. I became very small. Suddenly you understand everything: the jungle, these people and the reason for this magical mentality. It's like getting into Avatar. There is a world that you didn't know was there, in a corner of your head or your DNA.”

4. Musical Hobbies

Ituño is part of a musical group, something she deeply enjoys. “I play a little percussion and I'm in a folk group that has stopped a bit after the pandemic, Dangiliske,” she says. “From there came another rock group in which they invited me to participate. And I thought: ‘why not?’ It's a very patriarchal thing, we [doubt] ourselves. But how complex that is. I thought that if I did it wrong, they would retire me. I don't have to back out first. If I have fun in the meantime, even if I'm a mediocre singer, why not prove myself.”

5. No Desire To Slow Down

Ituño likes being busy, even when work can be overwhelming. “I'm always thinking about slowing down and resting, taking a sabbatical and not linking one project after another,” she says. “Although when you have time to think and digest everything that has happened to you, you get overwhelmed and say ‘what do I do now with my life?’ Let's see, something would occur to me. I would return to dance, to my English classes, which I had to abandon... being bored was not going to bore me. I would also take some acting courses to retrain myself. And singing.”

Salma Hayek needs nothing else for a perfect summer besides beer and a swimsuit. The 56-year-old actress is having a blast on a scuba diving trip with her friend and instructor Martina Engel, and sharing highlights from the adventure. Hayek posted pictures of the pair happily posing in bikinis and wetsuits, well-earned drinks in hand and snacking on oranges. “Hanging out with my favorite dive master,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Hayek stays ageless and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Knows You Love Her Bikinis

Hayek celebrated hitting 25 million followers on Instagram by posting a very tongue-in-cheek video of herself working out in a swimming pool. “I can’t believe it, 25 million followers! Thank you soo soo much to every single one of you. 🙏 Seeing as you all like my bikini pictures the most 👙, here’s a bikini work out for you all. I hate exercising- but I love to celebrate good moments dancing in the water. I am genuinely moved and grateful for all your love & support 🥰.”

Remember the infamous scene-stealing snake dance Hayek did in From Dusk Till Dawn? It turns out she wasn’t exactly prepared for that. “They just kind of threw me on the stage with the snake, put the music on and said, ‘Hey, dance!’” she says, adding that there was no choreography—she was left to her own devices. “I was feeling insecure [and] just wanted to get through it. It was a really small part but to my surprise people really remember that moment.”

3. No Hair Dye, Please

Hayek’s gorgeous dark locks? All natural, all her. The actress no longer has the patience to sit through endless root touch-ups. “It’s my natural color, and it’s my natural white hairs,” she says. “One of the reasons I don’t dye my hair is because I don’t have the patience to sit through it. I don’t want to spend what’s left of my youth pretending I’m younger and then not enjoying life.”

4. She’s Very Funny

Hayek fought typecasting to be allowed to do comedy (no one could forget her star turn in 30 Rock). “I was typecast for a long time,” she says. “My entire life I wanted to do comedy and people wouldn’t give me comedies. I couldn’t land a role until I met Adam Sandler, who put me in a comedy [2010’s Grown Ups], but I was in my forties! They said, ‘You’re sexy, so you’re not allowed to have a sense of humor.’ Not only are you not allowed to be smart, but you were not allowed to be funny in the ’90s.”

5. No Botox or Fillers

Hayek’s secret to beautiful, ageless skin? Golden face masks and chicken soup. “I use an ingredient called Tepezcohuite that’s used in Mexico for burn victims because it completely regenerates the skin, and there’s no one in the States who is using this ingredient except for us,” she says. “Some of the ingredients, when I took them to the American labs, they were like ‘Oh my god! How come nobody is using this?’ This is why I have no Botox, no peels, no fillings.”

1. She Enjoys the Sauna

“I'm going to do a little sauna before I'm going to get ready because this is what I like to do before my makeup and just relax my body. It's good for everything,” she told Coveteur. “I do it every day because my fiance, he's an athlete and he told me that it's good for the skin, it's good for stress, it's good for sleep, and it's like many benefits that you can take out of it. He does the ice. I do the hot tub because I'm Brazilian and I'm always cold.”

2. She Does a Steam Post-Show

After a show, “I have a steam and when I go, I take all my makeup off and I like to do this steam before I go to bed because it just relaxes my body and I put some lotion, cream moisturizer, lip balm. It's very simple, very easy to do and fast—and drink a lot of water. Very important,” she told Coveteur.

3. She FaceTimes With Her Trainer When Travelling

“We do prepare ourselves all year long because it's not easy to shoot lingerie every week, every day,” she told Hollywood Insider, “and just before the show, two months before the show, I try to go [work out] every single day. If I'm traveling, I do FaceTiming with my trainer” and do exercises like hop rolls and boxing moves.

4. She is Motivated By Her Son

“I have a son, so he pretty much motivates me when I don't have energy or when I don't look good. Even sometimes the glam team come to my place and then we are doing hair and makeup, and then he's just like, ‘Oh my, mom, you look beautiful.’ I'm like, oh my God. He motivate me pretty much,” she told Hollywood Insider.

5. She Unwinds

“As when you guys came in, I was listening to Brazilian music, which is my favorite of all of course, and I think to pump it up some hip hop because New York's New York. Since I moved here. My Brazilian gang and I, we always go to this spot that’s calledFat Cat. That's where I learned how to play pool,” she told Coveteur.
