Angelina Jolie’s Deepening Friendship With Salma Hayek

As per InTouch, Angelina Jolie hopes her friendship with Salma Hayek will support her influence as she spends significant amounts on legal battles with her ex-husband Brad Pitt.

“Angelina has met plenty of billionaires during her career as an actress, but the friendship she has forged with Salma over the last few years is a different animal altogether and ratchets up Angelina’s power in the business.” the insider told the weekly outlet

Who is Salma Hayek?

Salma Hayek is an actress and film producer worth over $200 million and is married to François-Henri Pinault, a luxury-brand magnate with an estimated net worth of about $7 billion. 

“Salma and her husband have a level of expertise and contacts in the Europe-based luxury world that matches and even surpasses the resources Brad has wielded in his fight with Angelina. You can bet that Angelina is going to call on that support as she looks for some kind of resolution to her and Brad’s conflict,” the source of Hindustan Times said. 

Salma is starring in Angelina’s upcoming film

The two actresses have been working closely lately with Salma starring in Angelina’s upcoming film, Without Blood

“Their next project together is Angelina’s film, Without Blood, which will roll out this fall on the festival circuit, but the reality is that it was a pandemic-conceived project for Angelina that she has been quietly working on for the last three years and which she directed prior to acting in her Maria Callas biopic that is also getting released this year,” the insider of Hindustan Times said.

“Angelina and Salma have a deep, ongoing collaboration that hasn’t let up since they shot Eternals together almost six years ago,” the insider added.

Jolie and Brad’s Long Dispute

Jolie and Brad have been in a long dispute and Brad continues challenging Angelina in court over the Château Miraval winery they once held together. The dispute has led to further legal action, with Brad charging Angelina over their NDA contracts.

“How does [Angie and Salma’s working relationship] impact Angelina’s ongoing legal battle with her ex-Brad Pitt? Well, it certainly helps to have a massive fortune like Salma’s in your corner, and not just for the purposes of getting a film financed,” the source told InTouch.
