Penelope Cruz left bruised after burlesque routine in ‘Nine’ trailer

New York, May 16: Spanish actress Penelope Cruz has revealed that she ended having sore limbs when she had to do a burlesque routine for the trailer of the musical ‘Nine’.The 35-year-old star, who strips down to stockings and a bustier in the musical, had to take dance classes for months to prepare for the raunchy routine, which left her battered and bruised at the end.

“I couldn’t stop crying,” the New York Daily News quoted her as telling the Daily Mail earlier this year. According to the Sun, Cruz went through quite an ordeal while performing in the musical, which also stars Nicole Kidman, Kate Hudson, Black Eyed Peas star Fergie and Daniel Day-Lewis. “When something like that happens, you just have to keep going and forget about any physical pain,” she said. “I was dancing in the dark with just one spotlight on me so I had to be extremely alert,” she added.
