Recently, Hayek had promised her husband François-Henri Pinault that she would stop adopting animals after the number of pets increased drastically at her home. Her pets include dogs, parrots, alpacas, horses and cats.

"And they always find me, they come to me, these animals - which he doesn't believe me, but they do - and I promised him, no more," the actress had said at the time.

She also revealed that she once faked an affair to take care of a stray dog.

"We were up to 30 animals. I swore no more. And I was [filming in Bulgaria], and a little puppy who was abandoned and was going to die ... he came to me, and I couldn't help it, I picked him up... So I came up with this brilliant idea to pretend that I was having an affair. And at the end I would say, 'No, it's not an affair. I picked up a dog'. And then he would feel better," she said.
