After rocking an interview on the set of "Good Morning America," Salma Hayek stepped out to enjoy the gorgeous sunny day in New York City this morning (July 11).
While donning a gorgeous lavender dress, the "Grown Ups 2" beauty flashed a smile and waved at the cameras and fans as she made her way to the street.
During her interview with the GMA staff, Miss Hayek chatted about her experience with bullying.
"When I was a little girl, there was this mean boy who was like taller than me and probably older than me and he used to hit me, pull my hair, do all kinds of things to me," she explained.
The 46-year-old actress continued, "If you like a girl, don't beat on them. This is not good. And men if you love your wife, do not beat on them either. I used to walk like a duck and I told the teacher, she didn't do anything, my mom went and talked to them, they didn't do anything. So one day when he came to attack me, I just looked at him and I took my boots and kicked him right [in the leg]."
Also discussing her time with co-star Adam Sandler, Salma mentioned the attempt of setting the comedian's mother up on a blind date.
"I said to his mother, 'You know what, I would like to set you up with someone' because, you know, her husband passed away a long time ago and she's so spunky. I wanted to get her a boyfriend! And so I said I would like to set you up with someone and [Adam] was like 'What? No. Never. Don't mess with my mother.' Oh my goodness, you know? I got to see a whole other side of Adam," she said with a smile.
"We're still getting to know each other and Judy said, 'No please. You know I don't want to do that,'" she added.

Salma Hayek in InStyle July 2013: There is More To Me Than Looks

With her new comedy "Grown Ups 2" slated to hit theaters July 12th, Salma Hayek garnered herself added exposure by covering the July 2013 issue of InStyle magazine.

Check out GossipCenter's recap of Miss Hayek's interview below. For more, be sure to visit InStyle!
On not having a keen sense of fashion:
"I'm not really a fashionista. I have an eye. I can pull it together, but a lot of the effort i make is for my husband, because I want him to be attracted to me. When I turned 40, I started thinking, 'This is the last year,' whenever I'd wear a strapless dress. I always thought you can't wear them after a certain age, but I'm still getting away with it."
On her healthy approach to aging:
"I know people have always thought I was beautiful, but I have never tried to be as beautiful as I can be. I could do a lot more, exercise, or not eat dessert. Or not drink alcohol. I could make bigger efforts.I don't think my first priority in life has ever been beauty. It's a little bit of a rebellious spirit in me. There is more to me than looks, of course. I think if you are afraid of getting older, you age faster."
On offering a tip to all women:
"You've got to take who you are and love who you are and do the best you can with what you've got. That goes for the figure, and it goes for everything else. You've got to have a sense of humor about who you are and give yourself a break. You've got to be kind to yourself. And it's not easy."
