Apr 13, 2022 by apost team

Penélope Cruz is one of the most sought-after actresses in the industry. While she has starred in films in several different genres, she first came to be known for her work in Spanish films in the Spanish language. She found fame at a young age and is still a big name in Hollywood today, proving to be an unstoppable force.

Cruz was born on April 28, 1974, in the town of Alcobendas in the province of Madrid, Spain. When she was just 15 years old, she was signed by a talent agent and made her acting debut on television the following year. In 1992, Cruz made her feature film debut, appearing in "Jamón Jamón." Afterward, she continued to find work in the movie industry and appeared in plenty more throughout the rest of the 1990s and into the 2000s.

Landing the lead roles in "All the Pretty Horses" and "Vanilla Sky" helped put Cruz on the map, earning her international fame and recognition. She also starred in the comedy "Waking Up in Reno" in 2002, the action-adventure film "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" in 2011 and as Donatella Versace in the TV series "The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story."

Cruz's work has earned her plenty of awards and accolades, as she is the first and only Spanish actress to be nominated for and to win an Academy Award. On top of that, Cruz has a beautiful family with her husband, Javier Bardem. The pair have been married since 2010 but have known each other for 30 years.

Cruz is an incredibly talented actress, having starred in plenty of films and television shows over the course of her 30-year career. She has appeared in both American and Spanish films and expressed just how much she appreciates the wide range of work she gets. "I love learning languages," she told Salon in March 2022. "I have been able to do that throughout my career."

The actress continued, "I see it all as one career, I do not separate America from my work in Europe. The bigger the territory, the more material you have to choose from, the more possibilities you have to find challenges, and things that are different from what you have done, or from yourself."

Cruz has had a very busy career thus far and has no plans of stopping any time soon. She appeared in several projects in 2021 and was in the film "The 355" in 2022. According to IMDB, she has a few more projects in the works, most of which are set to be released in 2022.

As someone who has been in the public eye since she was just a teenager, it's understandable that Cruz chooses to keep her personal life as private as possible. Even though both she and her husband are professional actors, they do what they can to live a private life. "It was a really good decision for us, not to talk about our relationship," Cruz told Oprah Daily in 2019. "It would feel very strange to do it a different way. I just couldn't do it."

While Cruz is recognized for being an outstanding actress in general and one of the most prolific Spanish actresses, her husband Bardem is known for his work as a Spanish actor. He has appeared in several films, including "Jamón Jamón" and "Vicky Cristina Barcelona," both of which also featured Cruz. Bardem is also known for his work in "Being the Ricardos." 

Bardem is the first Spanish actor to be nominated for an Oscar and the first and only Spanish actor to win one. Speaking with the Guardian, Bardem explained how receiving the prestigious award only made him want to work harder. "When I won the Oscar, I felt great, but it didn't make any sense," he said. "It was more: 'Wow, what is this? I need to earn this now so they don't take it out of my hands!'"

Although Cruz and Bardem first met in 1992 and shared some pretty romantic and intimate scenes in "Jamón Jamón," they didn't develop a relationship until much later. They began dating in 2007 while filming "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" and tied the knot in July 2010 in a private ceremony in the Bahamas. Since then, the couple has welcomed a son named Leo and a daughter named Luna.

Speaking with Vulture in 2019, Bardem talked about how his relationship with Cruz developed over the years and how they still have so much chemistry together. He said, "Life has changed. We have grown. We've grown up. Everything is different once you're a family. That's the priority, as it should be." He explained how although they starred together in films and got used to the celebrity lifestyle, focusing on real life and staying in the moment has helped them work for so many years.
