Salma Hayek and Antonio Banderas are together again and we are loving it! The former Desperado co-stars have shared a friendship that has last 25 years, so when it was time to present Antonio with the International Star Award at the Palm Springs International Film Festival, Salma immediately accepted the honor. Although each actor was accompanied by their significant other — Salma with her husband Francois-Henri Pinault and Antonio with his girlfriend Nicole Kimpel — the two made it a point to snap some shots together on the red carpet (giving fans an insight to their playful relationship as besties).

Pain & Glory is a film about a film director who is coming to terms with his life choices.
In addition to having worked in Robert Rodriguez’s Desperado (along with Joaquim de Almeida, Danny Trejo and Quentin Tarantino), Salma and Antonio have also shared the screen in other films like Once Upon A Time In Mexico, Four Rooms, Puss In Boots and Frida. The two will share the screen again in The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard (due out in August 2020).
In a social media post Salma shared on her personal profile, the Frida actress could be seen getting glammed up for the event. She captioned the photo, “Getting ready for the Palm Springs International Film Festival where I am very honored to present @antoniobanderasoficial with the International Star Award - Actor.”
