Penelope Cruz - Penelope Cruz Dons Moustache For Nintendo Advert

Beautiful women have been employed to sell video games before, but they usually take the form of in-game characters; just ask any Tomb Raider fans what they thought of Lara Croft when they were 14. Penelope can now add Mario to her better-known roles as Sofia Serrano in Vanilla Sky or Mirtha Jung in Blow . She's swapped Jonny Depp for a games console to advertise Super Mario Bros. 2 as Nintendo continue their impressive string of top stars appearing for them on screen. The ad see's Cruz and her sister, Monica, indulging in a spot of Ds-action by the pool (not recommended, unless insured) but with an interesting twist: the loser has to dress up!

Maybe we should have provided a spoiler alert, as it is of course elder sibling, Penelope who faces the humiliation of dressing up as a plump, middle aged plumber and parade around an authentic Italian market, requesting mushrooms. What else? It's surprising the Spanish star didn't pull out a giant gold coin to complete the purchase. Perhaps World Cinema buffs won't appreciate the Vicky Cristina Barcelona star advertising video games, but it all seems light-hearted and in good taste. Penelope will be appearing in the new Pedro Almodovar flick, I'm So Excited in 2013.
