ET's Nischelle Turner recently spoke with Hayek -- who was at the Toronto International Film Festival for a screening of El Sabor de la Navidad, which Hayek produced.
What is it about that friendship that you especially appreciate?
"Everything. She's been very, very enriching in my life. In so many ways. As mothers, you know. Also as artists."
"Some of our other journeys I've had with Angelina and that have brought us even closer together. It was not a planned. It's just a friendship that keeps growing. And it stays consistent for years now. Closer and closer. And it's just natural. It's just something that flows."
Apart from their work on The Eternals, Hayek also starred in a film directed by Jolie, Without Blood, which has not yet been released. That experience seemed to cement their bond of friendship, with Hayek telling Deadline last year that Jolie "is the best director I’ve ever worked with... I absolutely loved working with her; enjoyed every second of it."
When asked about her secret to what appears to be some sort of magical fountain of youth, Hayek said she thinks it all about "meditation."
"I really believe it is. People say it's exercising. I think it's meditation," she shared. "You have to find your way. For me, exercising is hard... It's really, really difficult to have the discipline to do it. But meditation is a walk in the park, because it's my own form of it."
"You sit in a moment with yourself, that's already meditation," she added. "But do I it every day? I don't. Not because I don't want to. But when I don't do it, Oh my God, you'll see a big difference."
