Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz’s long-lasting friendship
Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz became friends when they filmed Bandidas, a film co-starring Steve Zahn, Dwight Yoakam, Audra Blaser, Ismael 'East' Carlo, and many other stars. This was Cruz’s first film shot in the United States.
Penelope Cruz landed in Los Angeles for the first time. Salma gave her a hearty welcome, expressing good hospitality. Despite having only spoken over the phone before, the duo had never met in person at that time. From there on, their friendship grew stronger, and they became closer to each other, as reported by People.
During a 2022 appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Cruz mentioned that when she arrived, she didn’t know anyone. Salma warmly received her and insisted, “You're not going to the hotel. You're coming to my house because this is hard at the beginning, and you're going to feel very lonely.”
This shows Salma’s care and respect for her. Cruz also added that she and Salma have been like sisters ever since they first met. Additionally, she hosted a luncheon last December honoring her friend Cruz’s role in the 2023 film Ferrari.
Meanwhile, Bandidas is a Western comedy film released in 2006.
