Salma Hayek left fans doing a double-take this week when she delivered a head-turning photo from her childhood.

A leotard-clad Salma was leaping into the air and doing the splits and appeared to be around 10 years old.

The mother and daughter duo share an extremely close bond, and in 2022 the two appeared together for the first time on the cover of Vogue Mexico and discussed the own secret language they share.
"When we are with more people I like [speaking Spanish] because it's a secret, because no one speaks Spanish, I speak French with my dad," Valentina shared.
Oscar-nominated actress Salma then added: "I speak to you in Spanish if I don't want those around you to understand us. In addition, I think it strengthens unity, the family bond, strengthens the bond we have."
