Penelope Cruz

The Spanish star has tried to improve her cooking skills by taking lessons, but she makes no secret that her meals are still poor despite her best attempts.

She said: "I am not the most organised person in the kitchen, but I took a lot of lessons. I played a Brazilian chef once [in 2000’s 'Woman on Top'] and then in ‘Volver’, I played somebody who owns a restaurant. I really had to know how to cook, so I took lessons both times. But my lessons were more to be the assistant of a chef, so I could learn to cut the vegetables very fast. I can do all of those things really well, but I’m not that good at cooking."
