“Growing old, to me, has to do with repetition. Something gets old when you’ve done it for a long time,” Hayek explained, adding: “If you’re always changing, if you’re always curious, how can you be old? You’re someone new today.”
In regards to her figure, theHouse of Guccistar said she “just happen to be one of those women” whosebreasts grew larger while going through menopauseas she appeared onRed Table Talklast June.
“A lot of people said that I had breast augmentation; I don’t blame them! My boobs were smaller! So was the rest of my body,” she said. “But they have just kept growing. Many, many sizes. And my back has been really suffering from it. And not a lot of people talk about this.”

Hayek previouslytold PEOPLEthat her secret to keeping a sexy figure isn’t exercise, but “restorative yoga,” in which she tones her muscles “without clenching them.”
“Some people have the discipline to exercise in the morning, and I didn’t develop that,” she said in 2020. “I don’t have time to exercise. I am working. I’ve had some 20-hour days.
“I work with a woman in London who taught me how to hold my body in a way where the muscles are activated all day long. So even when you brush your teeth, you’re working the muscles,” Hayek added.
