Brief biography and personal life

Penelope Cruz (photos of the hot actresses are given below in the article) was born at the end of April 1974 in the Spanish Alcobendas in a poor family of the owner of a beauty salon and a trade worker.

Brought up in strict Catholic traditions, the eldest of three children, Penelope, from the age of 4, became interested in dancing, first mastering classical ballet steps at the Spanish National Conservatory, and then, after moving to America, at the school of Cristina Rota.

Having looked at the painting by Pedro Almodovar "Tie Me" at the age of 14, the girl became a real fan of the director and acting. Penelope repeatedly followed the idols and even sneaked into his garden, but she still did not dare to meet Almodovar.

Having decided to become an actress, the future star was looking for an agent for a long time and only at the age of 15 she signed a long-awaited contract, beating 3 hundred competitors at the audition. In 1989, Penelope made her screen debut in the music video for the pop group Mecano, and from 1990 to 1997 she worked as a presenter of a teenage TV show.

In 1991, the young actress was finally noticed. The long-awaited event took place after the erotic scene in "Pink Lilac", where the playing of the episodic character Penelope was forced to completely undress. Possessing a gorgeous figure, the girl was invited to the "Ham, Ham", for which a year later she was awarded the Goya award.

The following year, the actress starred in The Graceful Era, and then played in 10 more Spanish films, only moving to the United States at the age of 25. A young Spanish woman, dancing beautifully and diligently mastering English in America, was first invited to "The Dangers of Love", and then to "Paradise" and "Living Flesh".

In the last picture, Penelope finally managed to work together with her idol, Pedro Almodovar. The role of the actress became the first in a series of subsequent collaborations, as well as the beginning of a long friendship between celebrities.

In 1998, Penelope appeared in The Land of Hills and Plains, and in The Girl of My Dreams, receiving many European film awards for her work. In the next few years, the movie star met again with Almodovar, starring in "All About My Mother" and "The Woman Above."

The already quite popular film actress calls 2001 her turning point, which has given her now worldwide recognition, which followed after the release of "Vanilla Sky". The audience also received the work of the actress in Cocaine with no less interest, but the critics did not like the film at all, and Penelope herself even received a nomination for antioscar.

In the next 5 years, the star's career experienced a recession, and the actress herself was completely unhappy with her new work. After the recession, the expected rise came, which began with the "Bandits" and the next masterpiece of Almodovar - "Return".

2008 brought the actress a job in "Elegy" and "Manolete", and then filming in "Vicky, Cristina, Barcelona" and the long-awaited "Oscar".

Becoming the first Spanish actress to receive the highest American film award, Penelope starred in Nine and then became part of the "pirate franchise", playing the role of Angelica, the beloved of Captain Jack Sparrow.

In 2012 and 2013, the movie star appeared in Roman Adventures and The Counselor, and then played the Italian Gemma in Born Twice, which raises issues of the military conflict in Bosnia. In 2013, along with Antonio Banderas, Penelope appeared in I Am Very Excited, and a year later she played in Ma ma.

Together with Ben Stillerov in 2016, Cruz starred in the sequel to The Exemplary Male, and then in The Brothers from Grimsby and The Queen of Spain. In 2017, the movie star starred in Murder on the Orient Express, and then, together with her husband Javier Bardem, played roles in Escobar and Labyrinths of the Past.

In 2018, having dyed her hair blonde, Penelope appeared in The Murder of Gianni Versace, and a year later tried a new role for herself as a model, appearing in the last fashion show of Karl Lagerfeld. The new work of the actress was the next picture of Pedro Almodovar, postponed due to the coronavirus epidemic. A couple of movie stars this time was Antonio Banderas.

The personal life of a movie star has always revolved around the set. For 3 years Penelope dated Tom Cruise, and then began an affair with Matthew McConaughey. In 2010, the actress settled down by marrying Javier Bardem.

The movie star met her future spouse more than 15 years ago, while working on one of her first films, but she could see her fate in it only in 2007. It was not surprising that they were connected by the project of the best friend, now family, Pedro Almodovar “Vicky, Cristina, Barcelona”.

After the wedding, the only thing the actress dreamed about was the birth of children, and in 2011 her dream came true, giving first her son Leonardo, and then her daughter Louise.

The birth of children greatly changed the movie star, who previously appeared only with full make-up, and now completely abandoned heels in everyday life. Becoming parents, Penelope and Javier strictly limited themselves in work, and also moved to Madrid, deciding to raise children in their homeland.

Plastic

Penelope Cruz (a photo of a hot actress covering her naked body with a piece of dark blue velvet can be seen on the cover of Esquire) is known in Hollywood not only for her hypnotic, instantly attracting attention, appearance, but also for her scandalous character.

Rarely does a journalist dare to ask a movie star a question about plastic surgery or aesthetic methods, and the actress herself carefully hides such information.

Repeatedly compared to the legendary Audrey Hepburn, the movie star has incredibly luxurious forms, included in the list of the most perfect bodies on the planet and stunning eyes that penetrate right into the soul.

The actress who considers herself a supporter of natural beauty notes that she does not hide her age at all and strives to be like Sophia Loren and Audrey Hepburn, who are never afraid of old age. Despite the statement of the actress, experts in aesthetic medicine note that she did a good job on her appearance, including in the office of a plastic surgeon.

Rhinoplasty

The first thing that catches your eye is the actress's small and neat nose, which gives her face a delicate and fragile expression.

Judging by the early photographs, which began her career at the age of 15, Penelope becomes noticeable that until about the age of 20, the young actress's nose had a longer and more pronounced tip, which was subsequently shortened by the surgeon and allowed the actress to smooth out the lines of her face and soften its features.

Mammoplasty

The luxurious and piquant figure of the movie star is especially distinguished by the chic 3-size neckline, which the actress has diligently demonstrated in recent years. The movie star, who did not accept diets, studied ballet since childhood and, unlike her Spanish compatriots, had a very slender, rather even angular figure with a small and neat bust.

In the future, the figure of the celebrity has undergone significant changes, but not in the waist area, but in the mammary glands. Experts in aesthetic medicine are sure that at the age of 25-30, Penelope decided to correct the lack of body and secretly performed mammoplasty by inserting size B implants into her breasts.

The updated bust of the actress immediately attracted attention with its size, which Penelope explained with the use of push-up lingerie, but even it is not able to give such a stunning effect.

Appearance after plastic

Penelope Cruz, secretive and careful with regard to plastic surgery, tries to limit external intervention, carrying out only cosmetic manipulations that are necessary, in her opinion.

The star denying plasticity, with the help of small changes, was able to significantly correct her appearance, turning her into a stunning, literally hypnotizing reference beauty beloved by millions of fans and completely unafraid of old age.

Beauty secrets

Penelope Cruz (photos of hot film actresses have repeatedly become the prey of the paparazzi, catching a movie star while relaxing on the beach), at the age of 46, shuns various beauty injections like fire, noting that the main thing for her is not ageless appearance, but the desire to live by her own rules.

Just like her ancient Greek namesake, Cruz adheres to her own philosophy of life, which is the belief that you just need to wait for your finest hour.

Skin care

With naturally thin skin and spending a lot in the sun, the movie star knows that the main thing is to carefully protect the tissues from aggressive sunlight. Penelope notes that she always applies a cream with SPF-50 to her face before leaving the house, but even this protection does not save her from the appearance of freckles.

Another problem of a movie star is a fine mesh of wrinkles appearing in the corners of the eyes. Like all Spanish women, Penelope loves to laugh, and to prevent aging, she could have injected botulinum toxin, but prefers to use moisturizing cosmetics from Lancome, which she has been using for more than 6 years.

Now the favorite of the movie star is Advanced Genifique, which contains an anti-aging regulator of tissue youth. The movie star calls herself a real beauty gol and constantly buys up cosmetics at airports. The actress is sure that you can always find a lot of interesting things in duty-free.

Also among the favorites of the movie star are Nuance cosmetics, created by Penelope's best friend, Salma Hayek. Cruz said that one day the latter sent her a test of care products and they just fit her perfectly.

Despite her love for a large number of cosmetics, Penelope is very restrained with makeup, trying to avoid bright colors in it. If the actress uses red lipstick to enter the red carpet, then in her free time she prefers not to paint at all, applying only mascara and beige lipstick to her face.

Penelope Cruz calls the legendary Tresor from Lancome her favorite perfumery scent.This love accompanies the movie star throughout her adult life, becoming the first fragrance that young Penelope fell in love with thanks to an advertisement with Isabella Rossellini. Having already become a famous actress, Cruz herself participated in advertising a perfume flanker, which is now extremely proud of.

In her interviews, the actress once admitted that if suddenly her film career goes down, she can always find a job as a depilation master. Penelope Cruz learned the secrets of using wax as a child, constantly spinning around the masters of the beauty salon of her parents.

As she got older, the actress mastered all the wisdom of waxing, and recently tried her skills again on her friend Salma Hayek, who did not even notice how her legs were treated.

Hair care

The actress does not like combing her hair and taking care of her hair, noting also that she tries not to use the services of hairdressers, since she herself can perfectly style her hair.

After washing her hair, Penelope always waits for the strands to dry out a little in order to lay them with a round brush, but quite often, having played with the children, she simply misses the right moment, remembering only when the strands begin to stick out in different directions.

To care for her coarse and unruly hair, the actress uses Kerastase's Masquintense nourishing masks, which she tried in her mother's salon.

The secret of beauty is not to think about age

46-year-old Penelope is not afraid of old age and actively opposes the pressure in Hollywood on aging actresses. A movie star is always annoyed by questions about whether she is afraid of losing her job after 40 years, causing only bouts of irritation.

As a woman who spends most of her life in Europe, Penelope notes that the cult of youth is developed only in America, while European residents are quite calm about it.

According to the movie star, she recalls her age only once a year, on her birthday, and every morning, waking up, she thanks God for her family, children and life. The actress is also helped to live her second youth by her very young children, with whom she again learns to discover the world.

Food

As a true Spanish woman, Penelope Cruz loves to eat and eat a lot, and hates any diets... The priorities of the actress have always been hamburger, french fries, fried and fatty foods, but in order not to deny herself her favorite treats and stay slim, Penelope had to turn to the principles of healthy eating.

During her second pregnancy, the movie star gained 16 kg, and was able to restore her shape only by completely eliminating harmful and high-calorie foods from the diet. Now the movie star strictly adheres to a weight of 54 kg, and positions her diet as a Mediterranean food, where all animal fats are completely replaced by vegetable fats and only complex carbohydrates are left.

The list of foods used by the film actress includes:

• vegetables and fruits;
• a variety of seafood;
• nuts (no more than 1 time per day);
• dairy products and cheeses;
• eggs;
• olive oil as a source of fat;
• legumes and pasta from durum wheat;

Cruz replaced all sweets with fruits and yogurt-based desserts. Salt is not included in the actress's diet, but is replaced by a variety of herbs and spices. In addition to the Mediterranean diet, which helps not to think constantly about food and keep the skin youthful, the actress completely gave up meat a few years ago, and also quit smoking.

Among alcoholic beverages, the actress prefers red wine, and she tries to use vegetable oil in large quantities, literally pouring salads on it.

If suddenly a movie star has to go on a diet abruptly, but she simply switches to six meals a day, which includes 3 main meals and three snacks. In this case, Penelope's diet is so that proteins, fats and slow carbohydrates are distributed in a 1: 1: 2 ratio.

Sport

Since childhood, the actress has been enthusiastically engaged in dancing and ballet, and if she is sad, then she does not send to a psychoanalyst, but includes her favorite musical compositions at home. Born in Spain, Penelope is used to the fact that music is a huge part of life, and everyone tries to dance at all times.

The actress notes that it was dancing that helped her to get her figure back in shape after 2 births, which not only quickly returned a thin waist, but also prevented the appearance of postpartum depression.
