In a recent interview, Hayek said God himself <a href=\"http:\/\/www.contactmusic.com\/news.nsf\/article\/hayek%20thanks%20god%20for%20big%20chest_1050015\" target=\"_new\"> was personally responsible for her body<\/a>. She reflected on her insecurity as a teenager, and said, &#8220;My mom and I stopped at a church during a road trip we were making from our home in Mexico. &#8220;When we went inside, I prayed for the miracle I wanted to happen. I put my hands in holy water and said: &#8216;Please God, give me some breasts&#8217;. And he gave me them! Within a few months, I developed a growing spurt, as teenagers do, and I was very pleased with the way I grew outwards.&#8221;<br \/>\nFunny. All this time I&#8217;ve been asking God to make me look like Salma Hayek, but it hasn&#8217;t happened yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Salma Hayek is one of the most beautiful women in the world.
