Salma Hayek has reportedly been a genuine friend in Angelina's life, and fans got a glimpse of this fresh dynamic when the pair were spotted boarding a commercial flight together from Mexico City to Veracruz in mid-July, which was definitely a rare low-key outing for two A-listers who usually travel private. The duo acted just like ordinary best friends, talking with fans and posing for photos. The warmth between them isn’t just personal. Professionally, the admiration runs deep. After starring in Jolie’s directorial project 'Without Blood' (2022), Hayek praised Angelina as “the best director I’ve ever worked with,” calling it “one of the best” she’s seen.
