Penelope Cruz was terrified of singing in new film 'Nine'.Speaking on the red carpet at the London premiere of the musical movie in Leicester Square last night (03.12.09), the 35-year-old Spanish actress admitted her singing was a bit rusty because she hadn't done it in public for years.
Singing was terrifying because it was new and because it was my first time.
The 35-year-old star told BANG Showbiz: "Singing was terrifying because it was new and because it was my first time.
"It was like doing theatre, but I only did theatre as a student in Spain."
Penelope - who plays seductress, Carla Albanese, who seduces Daniel Day-Lewis' character, director Guido Contini, in the film - also revealed her sexy look in the movie was aided by some very good costume designers.
She said: "The woman who designed the costumes for every one of us, I think she really must be one of the most amazing artists."
Penelope was joined on the red carpet by several of her co-stars, including Nicole Kidman, 42, Kate Hudson, 30, and Dame Judi Dench, 74.
Judi admitted she was surprised by how well all the actresses got along, saying: "They're wonderful, I mean every single one, I swear you're going to be surprised. They're going to surprise everyone."
