"Salma Hayek has insisted that getting older in Hollywood has been a &amp;quot;great&amp;quot; experience.  In an interview with The AP, the Grown-Ups actress confessed that while she has noticed changes in her body as she ages, it has not impacted her career in a negative way.  &amp;quot;What makes you feel old is when you are not excited about life. You are not excited anymore about what you do, and you cannot do it as well,&amp;quot; she explained.  &amp;quot;I do feel my body beginning to - like, I need glasses now when I read my scripts. I wear them, but I&amp;#039;m happy to wear them and happy that I still get to read my scripts. So it&amp;#039;s not been so bad.&amp;quot; She went on to reveal that she was initially nervous that she would begin losing parts to younger actresses but was pleased to find that fear to be unfounded.  &amp;quot;They scared me. They told me, `Forget it. At 30, it&amp;#039;s over for you&amp;#039;,&amp;quot; she added. &amp;quot;And it has not been the case. It feels great to age in Hollywood.&amp;quot; Hayek previously admitted that she was an illegal immigrant upon first moving to the US and faced discrimination by casting agents when she began her showbiz career.
