Angelina Jolie has said many times that she does not have a ton of friends in Hollywood.
But that is not true. She has at least one Hollywood best friend: Salma Hayek.
The two were seen catching up at the Golden Globe Awards at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles on Sunday evening.
The two sirens bonded when they made the superhero movie The Eternals, which came out in 2021. Jolie played Thena while Hayek was Ajak.
They became so close they have spent time together off set, like at one of Hayek’s birthday parties. In fact, they get along so well, Angelina cast Salma in her 2025 movie Without Blood.
Jolie, who finalized her divorce from Brad Pitt last month, was also seen hugging Kate Winslet.

In September, Hayek commented on how much she liked working with Angelina’s kids on Without Blood
The Oscar winner, 49, hired her sons Maddox, 23, and Pax, 20, to work on the set of Without Blood in the assistant director department.
The AD department serves as a liaison between the director and other departments.
‘They work hard,’ star Hayek told People at the film’s premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, adding that the director was ‘very professional with them’ on the set.
‘She’s demanding. They got the respect of the crew, and they were good with the crew, and they were very in their place,’ the Academy Award nominee explained.
‘They were not treating me like they treat me outside of there. They were very, “You have to come,” and I go, “Okay!” It was kind of fun.
‘They work hard. They are very serious about what they do.’
The Mexican-born beauty said she had to adjust to the way she interacted with the boys on set.

‘It is kind of funny, I was teasing them at the beginning, but then I had to say, “No. I have to separate and just treat them like professionals because it’s disrespectful,”‘ she explained.
Pax recovered enough from his e-bike accident to join his mom of the red carpet. Maddox did not attend the festival.
Without Blood is a ‘parable-like tale of family, war, and revenge’ according to the TIFF synopsis.
‘In a frontier landscape at the beginning of the 20th century, gunmen descend on a remote farmhouse, determined to exact revenge. Their target, a doctor — alone with his son and daughter — tries desperately to protect his children. Inevitably, bullets fly.’

Hayek said there was a bit of a role reversal with Jolie during the making of the film.
‘In [Eternals] I was a little bit of a mother figure to her. In this movie, I felt like she was my motherly figure because she would come to the set and run it like a family,’ the actress explained.
‘She was a very efficient mother, but she was also there emotionally every step of the way.’
Hayek’s daughter, Valentina, 16, whom she shares with husband François-Henri Pinault, was on the set as well, which the doting mom said made the shoot ‘feel just so comfortable and lovely.’
