Why Penelope Cruz, 40?Here's what we glean from reading the lengthy interview (which is as much about bullfighting as it is about Cruz):
SHE'S GORGEOUS
"She is impossibly beautiful. When she walks into a room, men start walking into furniture."
SHE'S TALENTED
"She speaks four languages and dreams in many more. (Sometimes her husband, Javier Bardem, speaks to her in the language he spoke in No Country for Old Men, and she has to run out of the house.)"
SHE'S MAGICAL
"Over the course of a long lunch, Cruz looks like a thousand different women. She flips her hair, or she shifts in her chair, or she creases her forehead or widens her eyes, and these alone are enough to transform her. It feels like watching close-up magic, an actress playing every possible part and well enough to be confounding."
SHE'S MYSTERIOUS (IN OTHER WORDS SHE WON'T TALK ABOUT JAVIER BARDEM) "She will not discuss the evolution of her relationship with Bardem, for instance, whom she first met filming Jamón Jamón, at age seventeen, but didn't marry until four years ago. 'That is for us,' she says. She declines to talk about her recent motherhood (a three-year-old son and a daughter who just turned one) except to say that family is everything to her and the reason we have not seen much of her lately."
OR THAT LETTER SHE WROTE IN JULY:
"She has asked not to be asked about … her controversial signing of an open group letter in the Spanish media condemning the Israeli bombing of Gaza, referring instead—at the table, in person— to a statement released by her publicist as her final word on the subject. ('My only wish and intention in signing that group letter is the hope that there will be peace,' it reads in part.)"
SHE'S MODEST
"She doesn't feel like the woman alive, she says—she feels like a mother who doesn't get enough sleep…"
