Known for having some of the most beautiful breasts in the world, Penélope Cruz shimmered at the London premiere of “Zoolander No. 2” held at the Empire Leicester Square in February 2016.

The then-41-year-old actress, who portrays Derek Zoolander’s (Ben Stiller) love interest, once again stole the show in a sparkly gown as she joined the cast of Ben Stiller’s comedy sequel on the blue carpet.
Beyond her striking appearance, Cruz has been equally vocal about her thoughts on beauty and aging, preferring a natural approach that reflects her values.
Embracing Natural Aging: Penélope’s Thoughts on Beauty and Wrinkles
Opposed to plastic surgery, she has publically stated that she wants to age naturally.
“I’ve seen my grandmothers grow old and they are so beautiful, every wrinkle in their face tells a story. I want to feel that in 30 years. I would always choose that kind of beauty over that comes from having too much done to yourself,” Cruz said when promoting the 2004 Canadian-British war drama film Head in the Cloud.

“Birthdays are always something to celebrate. I’m looking forward to every step of the way. Maybe it’s because I’m from Spain, so I look at it in a different way than in a place like Los Angeles,” she said in an interview with The Telegraph.
“I will always be a Spanish actress in Hollywood or wherever I work,” she added.
“There are a lot of things I keep from my roots and that is one of them — the way we look at aging. I never want to be afraid of that. Change is good,” the wealthy actress said about not wanting to go under the knife.

Breaking Boundaries in Jamón Jamón: Young Penélope’s Brave Debut
In the 1992 Spanish romantic comedy-drama Jamón Jamón, Penélope Cruz met her future husband, Javier Bardem. Filmed when she was 18, the Spanish teenager stripped down naked for some love-making scenes.
“I thought, ‘There is a character there, there is a style, the material is really good.’ Of course, I was not looking forward to those scenes but I did it,” Penelope told Esquire about revealing her boobs in the film.
“Everyone was really respectful, aware of the fact that I was 18. I remember the last day of filming, I was crying, saying, ‘What if I never shoot a movie again?’ The feeling was devastating. ‘Who knows when I will see these people again?’ Including Javier.”

After the movie’s release, she consciously decided to stay away from films featuring nudity.
Jamón means “ham ” in Spanish. In one scene, José Luis (Jordi Mollà) comments that Silvia’s two breasts taste like ham.
“And what I did is that I went away for a while from anything that had to do with nudity or sex scenes because I felt that I needed at that point to stay away from that. Not as a calculated plan. Personally, I needed that.”
