Salma Hayek Got Hyped For Her Olympic Torch Relay Run in Paris By Blasting ‘Lose Yourself,’ Naturally
There are plenty of songs you could pick to get pumped up for your one big moment. But if you only have one shot at an opportunity that comes once in a lifetime, there is only one that guarantees that you will own it and never let it go: Eminem‘s iconic Oscar-winning 2002 8 Mile soundtrack Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 “Lose Yourself.”
That explains why House of Gucci star Salma Hayek posted a video on Tuesday (July 23) in which she got hyped for her Olympic torch run by blasting the song in the back of her limo. “Getting ready to participate in the Olympic torch relay in Paris! Feeling the excitement and unity the Olympics brings. Stay tuned for more photos with the torch tomorrow,” Hayek wrote alongside a video in which she bounces and sings along to the song while rocking her official Summer Games white sweatsuit with orange piping and “Paris 2024” and the Olympic rings across the shoulders accessorized by oversized shades.
The series of videos also had Hayek doing an impressive round-off in the glittering Palace of Versailles, getting her official torch rally number alongside dancer Mathieu Forget and French soccer star Presnel Kimpembe and lacing up her white sneakers as she prepared to participate in the final run to bring the flame to Paris for Friday’s (July 26) opening ceremonies.
Hayek married French billionaire businessman François-Henri Pinault in 2009 and the couple have a daughter.
The actress will have some good company after it was also revealed on Tuesday that Snoop Dogg has been tapped to be the final torchbearer before the kick-off to the opening ceremony. The 2024 Olympic Games will run from Friday through August 11.
