He has no idea how attractive he is .. plus he’s very kind apparently.. 😍
He is too gorgeous, very modest and a brilliant actor! Penelope Cruz is a wonderful actress herself, both are supremely talented! True power couple means them, great chemistry and God bless this sensational couple, made for each other for sure.
I think she is “with that guy” because of how kind, sweet, loving, loyal, supportive husband and father you are to her and your children.
Love him and Penelope, both humble great actor and actress. Class act ♥️♥️♥️
