Penelope Hates To Cruz The Red Carpet

Hollywood beauty Penelope Cruz is fed up with going to movie premieres and parading up and down in front of the world's press.

The Vanilla Sky actress - who recently split from Hollywood hunk TOM CRUISE after a two year relationship - has revealed how "apprehensive" she gets at glitzy celebrity-packed premieres.

The 28-year-old says, "Normally the night of the premiere is not the happiest night, even if you're happy with the movie - because there is all this press around.

"All actors want attention in a way and you would be very fake to say that you did not, but it can be a different kind of attention.

"It's not that you decide to do this kind of work because you wanted to become famous, but you have to know that can be a consequence.

"What really gives me happiness is the real work of when I'm shooting a movie."
