Salma Hayek revealed in an interview with Variety that last year she battled a near-fatal case of COVID-19. According to the actress, after contracting the virus early into the pandemic, things got so bad her doctor was begging her to go to the hospital.

Hayek refused, saying “she’d rather die at home.” “My doctor begged me to go to the hospital because it was so bad,” Hayek told the outlet. “I said, ‘No, thank you.

I’d rather die at home.’The actress spent seven weeks isolated in a room of her house and was even put on oxygen. She was able to recover but unfortunately, still doesn’t have the energy she used to.

Thankfully, Hayek is a strong, and dedicated actress and even a near-fatal case of COVID wasn’t going to stop her. She returned to.
