Normally I'm pretty good about making sure I don't post gossip or things of that nature on this blog, but this is a special occasion. Two of my favorite actors not to mention one of my favorite Hollywood couples have tied the knot. A sexy, sexy Spanish knot.
Oscar winners Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz, who first met on the set of Bigas Luna's 1992 film 'Jamon, Jamon' (Cruz's first film at the age of 17, Bardem was 22) have married in a characteristically private ceremony at a friend's Bahamas home. People speculated for several months that the two were secretly engaged, but neither ever confirmed or denied. However, there was Bardem's rather unexpected declaration of love to Cruz at the Cannes film festival (see my report of it a few posts down). Perhaps this was his means of saying to the world, "Yep. It's happening, people."
The pair have dated since 2007 when they reunited onscreen in Woody Allen's "Vicky Cristina Barcelona." In the film, they portray a tempestuous divorced couple whose desire for one another is only matched by their urge to kill each other. In this case, here's hoping life does not imitate art.
