Mexican beauty Salma Hayek was “very nervous” when she went topless for her recent magazine shoot. But the “Grown Ups 2” actress also contended that her topless shot has been very aesthetically done and does not make her look “vulgar.”

“I looked very uncomfortable at the beginning,” said Hayek about her topless photoshoot with Allure magazine. The actress is seen covering her modesty with both her hands as she poses for “wonderful” photographer Patrick Demarchelier. “He always tries to do the minimum clothes possible. I kept my pants on, though,” she added.

At age 48, the actress has a glowing, perfect skin with no trace of wrinkles. She told the magazine in the interview that she has never gone for any cosmetic surgeries. She was advised to go for Botox injections to keep her skin from wrinkles but Hayek felt no need for it. “And thank God I didn't do that," she told Allure.

Hayek, who married billionaire François-Henri Pinault since 2009, also revealed that she did not feel like working after the birth of her daughter Valentina in 2007. She wanted to be a stay-at-home mother with her daughter.

"And it was François who said, 'Oh, no, you're going back to work.' And I said, 'I don't want to.' 'Well, you have to. We're not putting up with some lazy girl in the house. That's not who I married,'” said the actress.

Pinault encouraged Hayek, saying that he does not want to be “deprived” of his beautiful wife's work and wanted to watch it, too. The actress is currently producing and voicing a character in an animated movie of “The Prophet,” based on Lebanese poet Kahlil Gibran's famous book by the same name.
