She was a minor and filmed sexy scenes when she met today’s husband!

Penelope Cruz (47) and Javier Bardem (52) have been in a harmonious marriage since 2010, and it took them a long time to realize that they were created for each other. 

The acting couple has been enjoying a summer vacation in Italy in Fregene with their children, son Leo (10) and daughter Luna (8). Penelope and Javier were filmed during intimate moments with their daughter. 

Cruz held Luna in her lap on a lounger and talked to her, and later Bardem carried her upside down on her back. After bathing, the couple rested on deckchairs, and Penelope, as she typed on her cell phone, attracted attention with her lush cleavage and showed off her prescription glasses, which she rarely wears. 

Javier was reading a book during that time. By the way, Cruz and Bardem met on the set of the 1992 film “Ham, Ham,” and it was immediately apparent that there was chemistry between them. 

"Was there chemistry? Of course! Just watch that movie, it's documented chemistry, an accomplishment we're going to show to kids and grandchildren. The attraction existed from the beginning, but she was a minor. She was only 16 when we shot, and I was 21, nothing could have happened. It was very brave of her parents to let her make a very provocative film at such a young age, full of explicit sex scenes. If my daughter was to bring me such a script at that age, there is no money that would make me let her make that movie. No way, "Javier once said. 

The business brought them together again 15 years later when they made Woody Allen’s film “Vicky Cristina Barcelona”. 

"Yes, we collaborated again, again the chemistry was more than obvious, but nothing happened. I don't know if it was out of shyness to take the first step or out of a desire to stay as professional as possible. Whatever the reason, nothing was happening and on the last day of filming I thought, 'We have to get drunk.' Luckily, a mutual friend made the party and the rest is history. Thank God, "revealed the sincere Bardem.

The actor does not fail to praise his wife, and pointed out that she is similar to the character of Maria Elena, whom she embodied in the romantic drama "Vicky Cristina Barcelona". 

"She has that fiery temperament! We have moments when we argue, and she throws plates at me. At some point, I wondered if I needed that. But she's so passionate, that's why I love her, that's why she attracted me from the beginning. She’s not a pretty woman, she’s the sexiest woman on the planet, ”Javier said. 

The actor married Penelope in 2010 in the Bahamas in secret after a three-year relationship, allegedly at the home of Lenny Kravitz. Bardem often points out that children mean a lot to him and that they have changed his life for the better. 

"Parenting is the biggest and most radical life change I've experienced. When I became a father, my life turned upside down," Bardem said. 

Interestingly, neither Javier nor Penelope share photos from their private lives on their Instagram profiles and are quite secretive. The actress has only announced their joint projects a few times.
