Hayek was once so zit-riddled she couldn't leave her home

4/5/2012

Salma Hayek may look flawless now, but she says her famous face was once so covered with acne that she had a hard time finding work as young actress. "It sent me into a severe, severe depression," she tells Lucky magazine. Things got so bad, Hayek says, she couldn't even leave the house. "I'd wake up in the morning and lie there and touch my face before I got up, just to prepare myself to look in the mirror!" Then that made her so depressed she stuffed her face with food. Which meant she was "fat and broken out," unable to leave the house and unable to pay the rent. Yikes.
