Penelope Cruz once promised that after giving birth she would try to devote herself almost entirely to the child. And the actress partially kept her words - she returned to the set six months after the birth of baby Leo. Recently, the shooting of Woody Allen's new film, tentatively titled The Bop Decameron, started in Rome. To the delight of Penelope, the famous director invited her to play one of the main roles.

Now in the capital of Italy it is quite hot - 85 degrees Fahrenheit (above 35 Celsius), but for the film crew this is not a problem. On set, Penelope walks around in a red mini dress and, if necessary, cools off with a hand-held hairdryer.

“Leo's appearance changed me in one second, completely and forever,” Pe said of her mothering experience in a recent interview. - Nature is very wise - it gives a woman nine whole months to prepare for the miracle of the birth of a child, but only at the moment when you see the face of your baby, you are completely reborn - you become a completely different person, a different woman. Mother …"

“I’m really happy to be in Rome and filming with Woody,” says the actress. It's hard not to believe her - earlier, thanks to the filming of Allen's film "Vicky Cristina Barcelona", Cruz received an Oscar, becoming the first Spanish actress to receive an Academy Award.

Allen himself previously announced that he plans to personally star in his project. According to the plot, he will play the role of an American who comes with his wife to Italy in order to get acquainted with the chosen one of his daughter. According to preliminary data, Penelope got exactly the role of the wife of the hero Woody.

The film, in which Ellen Page, Alec Baldwin, Roberto Benigni, Jesse Eisenberg, Judy Davis and Ornella Muti are also invited, will be filmed in Italy until the end of August, and the film will be released in 2012.
