Penelope Cruz became the heroine of the cover of V Magazine

49-year-old Penelope Cruz became the heroine of the March issue of V Magazine. The actress appeared on the cover wearing a pearl bracelet and choker, a Chanel top, a Fleur du Mal bodysuit, LaQuan Smith shorts, Vex Gloves, David Koma shoes, Wolford stockings, an Acne Studios silver choker, a Chrome Hearts silver bracelet and an Enfants Riches Deprimes silver ring.

The interview with Penelope Cruz was conducted by Dua Lipa. In the conversation, the actress said that after the birth of her children she began to devote less time to work: she used to star in four films in a year, but now only in one.

"In some ways, we are still recovering from the pandemic. So many projects fell apart and will never be realized. But there are so many great films coming out this year, it's encouraging for the film industry. I'm so lucky to be a part of it. When I was a little girl , then I prayed to make a living from acting,” admitted Penelope.

The star recalled how she dreamed of working with Pedro Almodóvar. "It was like telling my parents, 'I want to be an astronaut.' But they didn't laugh at me and let me dream big. I wanted to be his friend because I knew we had something in common. Speech "It wasn't just about working with him. He is one of the most important people in my life. But it's true that from the first day a lot of strange, magical things happened between us. For me it was one of the most special events in my life," said the actress.

Dua Lipa and Penelope Cruz also talked about music. The actress recalled listening to her parents' vinyl records. They had a collection of classical music. “When I was five, I would sit for hours with huge headphones, listening to Prokofiev, Tchaikovsky and Beethoven, and daydreaming. Now I always play music for myself to prepare for the stage, to be in the right state, to tune in to the right frequency,” she says.

In the conversation, Cruz also touched on the fate of Laura Ferrari, whose image she embodied in Michael Mann’s biopic about the founder of the Ferrari automobile company, Enzo Ferrari.

"She did a lot for the company. She was not crazy, as I was told: she fell into a deep depression because she lost her son, and her husband lived with another woman, with whom he had another son. Everyone knew about it, except her. She was broken," says the star.

According to Penelope Cruz, everyone knew about Enzo, he was an iconic figure, and Laura Ferrari remained in his shadow all her life. “The company meant a lot to Laura. She considered it hers because she was one of the first investors,” said the actress. img]8350[/img]

“She controlled the finances, was extremely smart and meticulous, and also obsessed with details, just like Enzo. But this is another case where a woman remains in the shadow of men and such a situation is approved and supported by society,” explains Penelope Cruz.

The film "Ferrari" tells the story of the career and family life of former racing driver Enzo Ferrari, who experiences a crisis after the loss of his son and decides to take part in the epic Mille Miglia endurance race. Adam Driver played the main role in the film. The racer's wife Laura was played by Penelope Cruz, and his mistress Lina Lardi was played by Shailene Woodley.
