Penelope Cruz laughs

Penelope Cruz Laughs Off Sex Scenes




18 December 2009: PENELOPE CRUZ

hates shooting love scenes in films, so she makes her co-stars laugh to help relieve the tension.









The Spanish beauty

appears as Daniel Day-Lewis' mistress in movie musical Nine and filmed a series of intimate clips with him.



But Cruz didn't enjoy the experience and turned to humour to get through the testing shots.



She tells U.S. host Larry King, 'It's always a very strange thing. I mean, we had the best director and I was in the best possible company, but it's always something strange... We laughed a lot together, because you have to bring humour to those situations.'



Day-Lewis agreed: 'We had to laugh.'
