Salma Hayek Made a Knight in France

It led to one former minister refusing the same award, with others suggesting the 45-year-old’s new status would see Napoleon “turning in his grave”.
Ms Hayek is currently promoting Puss in Boots, a film in which she provides the voice for a character called Kitty Softpaws.
President Nicolas Sarkozy announced that she will become a Chevalier – or Knight – of the Legion of Honour for her services to the French Republic.
Hayek is married to billionaire businessman Francois-Henri Pinault, who happens to be a close personal friend of Mr Sarkozy.
