Variety reported that the 54-year-old star of the upcoming thriller House of Gucci revealed that she spent most of 2020 recovering from a near-fatal case of COVID-19. The trade outlet said Hayek, a married mother of a 13-year-old daughter, quarantined in a room in her house for about seven weeks and was even put on oxygen at one point. "My doctor begged me to go to the hospital because it was so bad," she told in a Zoom interview. "I said, 'No, thank you. I'd rather die at home.'" While keeping her diagnosis private, last November, Hayek posted on social media a video montage showing her getting tested for the coronavirus several times. Hayek still suffers side effects from COVID-19. She still hasn't fully regained her energy since her diagnosis. However, she recently returned to work to shoot the movie House of Gucci, which is inspired by a true story. The film is set for release this fall. Meanwhile, you can also catch Hayek in the movie The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard, which will release in June.
