Salma Hayek avoids technology as much as she can.
The Hollywood actress, 58, has revealed she “barely” uses a mobile phone and doesn’t own a computer- preferring instead to write by hand – and she also avoids shopping online and ordering takeaways – and Salma hopes keeping a low profile on the Internet helps her avoid artificial intelligence-driven algorithm.
She told Marie Claire magazine: “[AI] takes away your intelligence because the brain grows lazy.
“I write everything by hand. I have papers everywhere. I barely touch the phone. They cannot profile me. I don’t buy online. I don’t order food online. The artificial intelligence doesn’t know me.”
It comes after Salma recently revealed she feels “pressure” to make money despite being married to billionaire businessman Francois-Henri Pinault.
The actress tied the knot with Pinault – who runs luxury brand company Kering – in 2009 but she has continued working in Hollywood and has admitted she likes to support herself and make her own living.
She told the Wall Street Journal: “I support a lot of the aspects of my life and myself. I have the pressure to make a certain amount of money, and I like it. And now, I decided, I want to make more.”
Salma added she’s working on a number of money-making schemes and her husband finds her ambition attractive.
She said: “I think he finds it kind of sexy.”
However, the ‘From Dusk till Dawn’ star admitted that despite having a healthy bank balance, she doesn’t like talking about her finances – especially with other wealthy people.
She added: “To me, the excitement about having a lot of money was that I didn’t have to think about money, and it turned out all people wanted to talk to me about was money … Strangers coming to me that aren’t even friends, but they think we should be friends because they’re rich, too.”
