You won't believe which Hollywood A-listers were seen flying coach

It’s not every day you see Hollywood royalty queuing up at the airport, but that’s exactly what happened recently—and fans are still buzzing! In a world where the rich and famous are known for their private jets and VIP lounges, two of Tinseltown’s biggest names, Angelina Jolie and Salma Hayek, stunned onlookers by boarding a commercial flight just like the rest of us.
The star-studded duo were spotted at the airport, blending in with the crowd as they made their way to Veracruz, Mexico. Dressed down in comfortable travel gear—Salma in a crisp white tracksuit and Angelina in a chic, long beige coat—they looked every bit the seasoned travellers, but without the usual entourage or fanfare.
What really caught people’s attention was how relaxed and approachable they seemed. The pair were seen deep in conversation, sharing laughs and chatting with fellow passengers. It’s not every day you get to say you shared a flight with two Oscar-nominated actors!
When footage of their airport adventure hit social media, fans couldn’t contain their excitement. Comments poured in, with many praising the stars for their down-to-earth approach. 'I love when they travel on a commercial public plane instead of a private one,' one fan gushed. Another pointed out, 'Commendable in some way that they are flying commercial given that Salma’s husband is one of the richest people on the planet.'
And that’s no exaggeration—Salma Hayek’s husband, François-Henri Pinault, is a French billionaire with a net worth estimated at over $10 billion. Angelina Jolie, meanwhile, is no stranger to wealth herself, with an estimated fortune of around $180 million. Yet, despite their financial clout, both women opted for the humble experience of flying with the masses.
Many fans saw this as a sign of humility and relatability. 'I love that they are humble enough to still fly commercial when both are with a lot of money,' another commenter wrote. In an era where celebrities are often criticised for their carbon footprints and lavish lifestyles, seeing two A-listers choosing a more sustainable and ‘normal’ way to travel certainly struck a chord.
But there’s more to this story than just a surprising travel choice. Jolie and Hayek’s friendship has blossomed in recent years, ever since they worked together on Marvel’s 2021 blockbuster, Eternals. The two hit it off on set, with Angelina describing Salma as 'brilliant, kind, and wonderful.' She even went so far as to call her 'one of the greatest gifts that came with this movie,' adding, 'She’s my sister.'
It’s heartwarming to see such genuine camaraderie in an industry often known for its rivalries and egos. Their friendship is a reminder that, no matter how famous you are, meaningful connections are what truly matter.
Angelina has also been candid about her personal struggles, revealing last year that she often feels lonely despite her fame and family. 'I have my children I love but as an adult I’m often alone,' she shared. 'I also haven’t quite figured out how to live life in a way where I’m on my own. Maybe a lot of artists feel that we’re in an open space as a person. We don’t quite settle. So it leaves us in a strange way sometimes.'
Perhaps moments like these—travelling with a close friend, sharing ordinary experiences—are what keep these stars grounded.
For many of us, seeing celebrities act like ‘regular people’ is a refreshing change. It’s a reminder that, at the end of the day, we all put our pants on one leg at a time (even if those pants are designer trackies!).
So, members, what do you think? Have you ever spotted a celebrity out and about, doing something totally normal? Would you be starstruck if you found yourself sitting next to Angelina Jolie or Salma Hayek on a flight? Or do you think more celebrities should ditch the private jets and join us in the queue at the boarding gate?
