Cruz proud of false bottom in new film


Recommended Posts

Penelope Cruz says that when she finished six months of work on Volver, the new movie directed by Spain's Pedro Almodovar, she was so wrapped up in her character that she faced an emotional crisis.

"I couldn't leave the set. I didn't want to take my false ass off. There was an emotional attachment. I was a disaster for two months. I was unbearable," she told reporters at the Toronto International Film Festival on Saturday, shortly before the Spanish movie had its gala North American premiere.

Almodovar said he wanted Cruz to wear that "false ass" - one of the more famous props of recent cinema - to make her character, Raimunda, resemble an Italian film heroine of the 1950s.

Sitting next to Cruz at a news conference, Almodovar dissected her body parts, saying the 32-year-old Spanish actress has a small head, an ample bosom but a "slender ass." As he pointed each part out, Cruz smiled.

"The ass is very important. I wanted a fake bottom like Dustin Hoffman had in Tootsie. ... This is what I want for her. Having a generous ass made her look close to the ground. These are important decisions to make because once you have the physical part, you can work on the spiritual part," Almodovar said.

In the movie, Cruz plays a strong working-class woman who has to protect her daughter and solve the mystery of her parents' death in a fire. As in many Almodovar films, the male characters are weak, and few and far between.

Am I the only one that doesn't like how Cameron looks?

Seriously, that pic in the lesbian love thread makes her look like a 45 year veteran hooker.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
