Salma Hayek's 17-year-old daughter had 'no idea' about what being on the cover of THIS magazine means: "You know, it's another generation..."

Salma Hayek Pinault has been strutting the red carpets and posing for the magazine covers with all the flair. The 58-year-old actress was ‘excited’ for her cover debut, but her daughter, Valnetina Paloma Pinault had ‘no idea’ what it was.

Salma Hayek's daughter had 'no idea'...
In an interview with the Today show, Hayek disclosed that her 17-year-old daughter was unaware of what being on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit magazine represented. “My daughter had no idea what this cover was,” she said to the hosts. “You know, it’s another generation,” she continued.

While the actor’s daughter may not be be familiar or particularly enthusiastic about the feature, Salma reminisced about her excitement and admiration when she was a child. “I used to look at this magazine and wanted to see who was the new, gorgeous model, the new girl of the moment,” the ‘From Dusk Till Dawn’ star said.

Salma Hayek was insecure...
“It never crossed my mind that I could be on that cover. Because (the model) didn’t look like me,” Hayek claimed.

Moreover, Salma Hayek went on to say that the being on the cover at the age of 58 felt unreal. “My body isn’t necessarily the model type. I never thought that was a possibility — and for it to happen when I’m 58! It’s really shocking,” she said.

Salma Hayek sought to back out...
On the cover, Salma poses in a groundbreaking olive green breathing suit in the swimming pool that transcends the stereotypes and modelling limitations. However, Hayek further revealed that despite being in a dream-like project, she tried to get out of it as the bathing suits never seem to fit her.

“I said yes and then when it was time to do it, I tried to back out,” she said before adding, “because the bathing suits never fit me, how am I gonna do this? There's nothing my size — I always suffer,” according to Hindustan Times.
