Salma Hayek celebrated her birthday earlier this week, and Anthony Hopkins made sure not to miss it. The Frida star turned 59 on Tuesday, September 2, and shared her own bikini-clad celebration of her big day on Instagram.
Hopkins also took a moment to remember his friend's birthday. The Silence of the Lambs star took to Instagram with a photo of himself and Hayek and a special message. The photo, which seems to be from a visit in 2021 that the pair previously shared with fans, featured Hayek and Hopkins in a close embrace. Both were wearing black and smiling brightly for the camera.
The caption said, "Happy Birthday beautiful Salma ?We love ❤️ you."

Salma Hayek and Anthony Hopkins' Friendship Goes Back Decades
While Hayek and Hopkins have never starred in a film together, the Oscar winners have enjoyed a lengthy friendship and have supported each other over the years.
The pair have been friends since at least 2003, when Hayek was on hand to support Hopkins as he accepted his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She is also friends with his wife, Stella Arroyave.
In 2021, Hayek shared a video of herself and Hopkins dancing as they celebrated his Oscar win for Best Actor in The Father. It seems that the photo from his birthday message came from this same visit, as both of them are wearing the same outfits and Hayeks hair and glasses are an exact match.
