Penelope Cruz drove director Woody Allen “crazy” on the set of ‘Vicky Cristina Barcelona’ by demanding to do another take of her scenes.

The actress - who stars alongside Scarlett Johansson and real-life partner Javier Bardem in the new movie - admits she is such a perfectionist that she always wants to shoot scenes several times to ensure she gives her best performance.

She said: “Every single time I asked to do it again! I drove Woody crazy with that. The last day I think he ran out of patience because he was so sweet and so kind.

“He always said yes to one more take, but on the last take of the last day I really could not stop because it was a difficult scene. So, I said, ‘Please one more!’ So we did one more and then we said, ‘OK, cut!’ Then I was looking for Woody and he was hiding from me!”

Penelope also revealed Woody allowed her and Javier, who are both Spanish-speaking actors, to improvise in their native tongue during filming.

She added: “He was trusting us, you know? He was trusting all the actors to improvise sometimes in English, sometimes in Spanish. He told us to do whatever we felt was natural, so I did a lot of swearing - sometimes too much - and I was a little bit worried about what he was going to think when he discovers some of the things that were said when it was translated!

“But I think he was happy in the end!”

Penelope Cruz doesn’t think she is beautiful.

The Spanish actress - who appears alongside Scarlett Johansson in Woody Allen’s new movie ‘Vicky Cristina Barcelona’ - insists despite being one of the world’s most famous sex symbols, she doesn’t think she is attractive.

She said: “I don’t think I am beautiful. I can look good and I can look ugly. What’s funny is that when I was younger I wanted everyone to look at me. Now I like to watch other people because you can learn a lot of interesting things.”

Penelope - who is dating Oscar-winning actor Javier Bardem - also revealed she has no plans to marry the ‘No Country For Old Men’ star.

She added to Parade.com: “My family, my brother, my sister, they’re always complaining that I’m too protective and I’ve always been like that. But I don’t know if I believe in marriage. I believe in family, in love, in children.”

Penelope Cruz says being called sexy is “boring”.
The ‘Volver’ actress says she is tired of all the attention surrounding her looks and would much rather be admired for her acting talents.

Penelope, 32, said: “I don’t pay attention to people calling me sexy. It makes me nervous when people start using labels. It’s boring.

“I don’t understand why people tend to typecast you.”

Penelope’s former love Matthew McConaughey, who she met while filming action adventure ‘Sahara’, recently said she deserves to win an Oscar for her performance in her latest film ‘Volver’.
Matthew, who is still close friends with Penelope, said: “She is going to get an Oscar nomination for ‘Volver’, or she should. She is so excited about that film. I really hope she gets the recognition she deserves.”
