For her next movie, Salma Hayek shows her hirsute side. The Mexican actress sports facial hair in Cirque du Freak, directed by Paul Weitz and based on three books by Darren Shan.

"It's one of those vampire movies. It's very funny. It's me with the beard," Hayek says.

The kid-friendly fantasy, which arrives later this year, tells the story of a boy (Chris Massoglia) who breaks a 200-year truce between two warring bloodsucker factions. It co-stars John C. Reilly as vampire Larten Crepsley.

Hayek had a great time making the film, her first since having daughter Valentina in February 2007. She's looking at other scripts but says that "being a mom and having a long-distance relationship (with Francois-Henri Pinault), it's a lot of work."
