Salma Hayek got incredibly vulnerable about weight loss and aging in a new interview.

The 54-year-old actress told InStyle magazine that she feels pressure to be a certain size because it's "what's expected for a woman who people consider good-looking."

"As you get older, you're expected not to age," Hayek pointed out. 

Despite not yet being at her goal weight after putting on a few pounds for her upcoming movie, "House of Gucci," she's still proud of her body.

Hayek said she's aware no matter "how much pressure and judgment I put on it, my body has been incredibly generous."

"I don't think I am some hot tamale, but I know that for my age, for the lifestyle that I lived, I'm not doing too badly. And I attribute all of this to meditation," she said.
