Salma's admiration for Shakira

This isn't the first time Salma has shown her love for Shakira. On February 2nd, the actress posted a heartfelt birthday message to the singer. "Happy Birthday, Queen Shakira, you're a music goddess. Thank you for your music," Salma wrote. The post featured a video of her working out on a treadmill while dancing to "Hips Don’t Lie."

In the clip, Hayek mimicked Shakira's signature dance moves, effortlessly shaking her chest and hips while staying on the treadmill. She even mixed in scenes from Shakira's iconic music video, joking, "Warning: If you don't have Latina or Arab roots, don't try this at home." It was a playful nod to how challenging it is to keep up with the Colombian superstar.
