Angelina Jolie makes surprising confession about Salma Hayek friendship

Angelina Jolie and Salma Hayek opened up about their deep “connection.”

The new drama Without Blood starred Salma Hayek as Nina while her celebrity pal Angelina Jolie wrote, produced as well as directed the movie.

On Saturday, September 19, speaking with People Magazine, Salma revealed that their interactions on set “were delicious,” and “very organic.”

“I love her mind and I get her. So I think when you know somebody gets you, you feel safe and you can be whoever you are in whatever circumstances,” Salma shared with the outlet.

On the other hand, Angelina reflected on their shared experiences and strong bond, stating, “I think it’s so nice we met at this later stage in our life.”

“Because we’ve been through so many similar things, experienced different things, and somehow have landed as older women in a very similar place,” Angelina further reflected.

Adding to the conversation, Salma said, “Even though I’m much older than her, by the way,”

While Angelina clarified with a laugh, “Not that much older!”

Angelina further went on to say, “To appreciate that friendship and that bond and that understanding — I haven’t had that kind of a connection in my life.”

While Salma acknowledged, “It’s hard to find that connection. And I think that’s what part of the movie is also about, how difficult it is to communicate, to connect.”

Sharing a glimpse into their playful and emotional side of their friendship, Salma revealed, “Sometimes we would start passionately screaming at each other.”

“Then I start crying and she hugs me, then we’re laughing nonstop. And from the outside, I could see people say, ‘What’s going on?’”

Adding, “I can say whatever. She’s never offended because it’s coming from me. And we’re talking about issues, and then we start crying because we’re moved, not because we made each other cry... And then we say something stupid and we start cracking up,” she further revealed.

It is pertinent to mention that Without Blood hit theaters on September 18, 2026.
