Salma Hayek gives up space travel dream for baby
By ANISaturday, May 15, 2010
LONDON - Salma Hayek has abandoned her dreams of space travel with Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic team - because she’s too concerned for her safety as a mother.
The actress insists that she has stopped taking risks ever since she welcomed daughter Valentina in September 2007, with her husband, French fashion executive Francois-Henri Pinault.
The once-upon-a-time thrill seeking adventurer told U.S. magazine InStyle, “I love scuba diving and used to dive where the sharks were, and now? No more sharks.
“Everything became about the baby. You are in second position, or third… My dream was to go into space.
“I reserved my place with the Virgin (Galactic) expedition. And then I got pregnant. And now I’m a mother. So I’m not going to go.” (ANI)
