A Beauty No Matter What

First she rocked the unibrow (in Frida), and now Salma Hayek is going for the full-beard look.

So no, she’s not letting herself go (like anyone would if they married a billionaire) – she’s just working the, say, eye-catching look for her role in Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant (out on Oct. 23), in which the actress co-stars as Madame Truska, the hirsute woman in a traveling freak show and girlfriend of the titular vampire (John C. Reilly).

The fantasy, based on a popular young-adult series of books, follows a boy (Chris Massoglia) who becomes an apprentice to Reilly’s vamp.

Hayek’s character sprouts whiskers every time she gets passionate with her bf.

“She needs to be very comfortable with herself, which Salma really is in real life,” said director Paul Weitz (About a Boy).

“I thought, of all people to have that problem, she’d be an interesting one.”

He got that right.
