Love Cruz: Penelope and Javier Bardem enjoy some time alone as they take a romantic Spanish stroll together
They may be Hollywood royalty, but Javier Bardem and wife Penelope Cruz looked like any other normal couple in love during a romantic stroll in Madrid.
The smitten couple strolled down the street with their arms wrapped tenderly around each other - and the actress at one point nuzzled up close to her husband.
The Spanish lovebirds had been relaxing with friends at an outdoor cafe drinking beer and wine.

While they seemed to be embroiled in a intense discussion with their dining pals, Penelope broke off from their highbrow talk to share a joke with Bardem.
The stunning Vicky Cristina Barcelona beauty wore an oversized flowing maxi dress and sunglasses, while Bardem opted for a more casual look with a baseball cap, T-shirt, jeans and trainers.

Bardem will be seen next as the Bond villain in the eagerly awaited new 007 adventure Skyfall, which will be released later this year.
He told Total Film about the role: 'I think it’s always about the material in the script. When I read it, I felt ‘Wow, this is powerful! Of course, you have everything that you can expect in James Bond movies, but it has more than that. It’s very accomplished and powerful. And then I talked to Sam and he gave me his ideas. I thought they were very good– brave, in some way.'
