Hayek may feel comfortable with everything to do with aging now. However, she had not always considered it in this regard, as she disclosed that she had a different perception of the concept in the past.

Hayek may occasionally receive criticism over her appearance, but the beautiful brunette pays the haters no mind. Many of her fans praise her for embracing her age and continue to compliment her for still looking stunning.
