Angelina Jolie has said many times that she doesn’t have many friends in Hollywood.
But that’s not true. She has at least one best friend from Hollywood: Salma Hayek.
The two were seen catching up at the Golden Globe Awards at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles on Sunday night.
The two mermaids teamed up when they made the superhero movie The Eternals, which was released in 2021. Jolie played Thena while Hayek was Ajak.
They became so close that they spent time together off set, such as at one of Hayek’s birthday parties. In fact, they get along so well that Angelina cast Salma in her 2025 film Bloodless.
Jolie, who finalized her divorce from Brad Pitt last month, was also seen hugging Kate Winslet.

In September, Hayek commented on how much she enjoyed working with Angelina’s children on Bloodless.
The Oscar winner, 49, hired her sons Maddox, 23, and Pax, 20, to work on the set of Bloodless in the assistant director department.
The AD department serves as a liaison between the director and other departments.
“They work hard,” said star Hayek People at the film’s premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, adding that the director was “very professional with them” on set.
‘She is demanding. “They earned the respect of the team, they were good to the team and they were in their place,” explained the Oscar nominee.
‘They weren’t treating me like they treat me outside of there. They said, “You have to come,” and I said, “Okay!” It was something fun.
‘They work hard. “They take what they do very seriously.”
The Mexican-born beauty said she had to adapt to the way she interacted with the boys on set.
Jolie, who finalized her divorce from Brad Pitt last month, was also seen with Kate Winslet.
The two seemed very close as they hugged each other.
“It’s kind of funny, at first I was joking with them, but then I had to say, ‘No. I have to separate myself and treat them like professionals because it’s disrespectful,'” he explained.
Pax recovered enough from his e-bike accident to join his mother on the red carpet. Maddox did not attend the festival.
Without Blood is a “parable-like story of family, war and revenge” according to the TIFF synopsis.
‘In a frontier landscape of the early 20th century, armed men arrive at a remote farm, determined to take revenge. Their target, a doctor, alone with his son and daughter, desperately tries to protect his children. Inevitably, bullets fly.”

Jolie hired her sons Maddox, 23, and Pax, 20, (seen here) to work on her latest film Bloodless.
Hayek said there was a bit of a role reversal with Jolie during the filming of the film.
‘In (Eternals) I was a kind of mother figure to her. In this movie, I felt like she was my mother figure because she came to the set and ran it like a family,” the actress explained.
“She was a very efficient mother, but she was also emotionally present every step of the way.”
Hayek’s 16-year-old daughter Valentina, whom she shares with husband François-Henri Pinault, was also on set, which the doting mother said made the shoot “feel very comfortable and lovely.”
