Salma Hayek proudly participated in the Olympic Torch Relay on July 24, 2024, carrying the Olympic flame from Rambouillet to the Palace of Versailles, alongside notable figures such as Didier Deschamps and Patrick Bruel. Utilizing her Instagram, she shared her excitement and emphasized the torch's symbolism of 'light, hope, peace, and unity', stating, 'If you believe in these values, know that you were with me every step of the way.' Hayek donned a ceremonial white tracksuit and expressed her enthusiasm by posting behind-the-scenes moments, including a video of her performing cartwheels. The torch relay is a significant prelude to the 2024 Paris Olympics, which officially begins on July 26. The selection of torchbearers, according to Tony Estanguet, president of the Paris 2024 Olympics, reflects the diverse contributions of individuals who embody the spirit of the Games. Hayek's upcoming film directed by Angelina Jolie will also debut at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.
