Penélope Cruz turned 50 on Sunday April 28. And given the Spanish actress’ great career, her phone book must be full of superstars who could be invited to a mega birthday party. We were able to verify this with the slideshow that she published on her social networks on Tuesday and captioned: “Thank you for so much love! Health to all!”
We see the singer Rosalía whom Penélope Cruz kisses on the cheek. But also his favorite director, Pedro Almodóvar, who made him film in “In Flesh and Bone” (1997), “All About My Mother” (1999), “Volver” (2006), “Broken Embraces” (2009 ), “The Anthropophagous Advisor” (2009), “The Passenger Lovers” (2013), “Pain and Glory” (2019) and “Madres Paralelas” (2021). Maggie Gyllenhaal and her husband, Peter Sarsgaard, were also there, as were Robert De Niro, Matt Damon, Ricky Martin, Irina Shayk and Adam Driver, his sidekick in “Ferrari”. Just that.
Salma Hayek, too, was at the party. The Mexican-born actress took a selfie with the star of the day and published an affectionate message about her, accompanied by archive photos of them both.
“Happy birthday Penelope. Thank you God for sending an angel to Earth a few years ago. All of us who came across her know that she made our lives crazy, exciting, meaningful, inspiring and taught us the meaning of solidarity and loyalty with so much love. Thank you, Penélope, for the little angels you gave birth to. You are an extraordinary woman, and a little more every year,” she wrote.
Javier Bardem, Penélope Cruz’s husband and father of her two children, was of course present. A couple since 2007, after meeting for the first time on the set of “Jambon, Jambon” by Juan José Bigas Luna in 1992, the two Spanish stars got married in 2010. “She was passionate, that’s it who attracted me to her. In a woman there is beauty on one side and being sexy on the other. Penélope has both,” the 55-year-old actor recalled one day in an interview.
