Wednesday 20th August, 2008 (IANS)
Spanish actress Penelope Cruz hates acting in English films because she has to work extra hard on her accent.
Cruz was born in Madrid and did not begin learning English until she was 18. She admits it is still a struggle to perfect her words especially when she is working on a movie, reports Contactmusic.com.
'I'm starting to feel more relaxed about acting in English now, but it takes time and I have to work very hard on it. When I'm not performing in Spanish I feel extra tension. It is like torture sometimes in trying to get rid of my accent,' she said.
Cruz was recently voted as the best-dressed celebrity of the year by a Spanish magazine.
