Mexican actress Salma Hayek, who walked down the red carpet at Cannes on Saturday for the film about the life of Yves Saint Laurent, demanded the return of 200 girls abducted from Nigeria a month ago. The actress held a sign reading "Bring back our girls," which has become the motto for the campaign to return the kidnapped girls. French actress Julie Gayet ("Quai d' Orsay") also held the sign before the cameras. The radical Islamic sect Boko Haram in Nigeria kidnapped 200 teenagers over a month ago.
Salma Hayek was dressed in a strapless fiuschia dress and was accompanied by her daughter Valentina Paloma and her husband, businessman François-Henri Pinault, whose company conglomerate owns Yves Saint Laurent. However, "Saint Laurent" director Bertrand Bonello has not been supported by Pierre Bergé, the partner of the visionary designer and fashion icon who died in 2008. Salma Hayek soon swapped the red carpet for the stage: the star of "Frida" was promoting her new animated film titled "Kahlil Ghibran 's The Prophet."
Surrounded by masters in the field like Roger Allers ("The Lion King"), the film's director and Gaëtan and Paul Brizzi among others, Hayeks spoke about animation and read some poems that have been shown the film based a classic in Lebanese literature, The Prophet, by Kahlil Gibran. The actress, who provides one of the voices in the film, shared the stage with fellow actress Gayet, who was until recently romantically linked to French President François Hollande.
