This episode of Hot Ones features Academy Award-winning actress Penélope Cruz as she faces the "wings of death" while discussing her career and personal life.
Key Discussion Topics:
- Film & Career: Cruz discusses her role in the upcoming A24 comedy The Invite (directed by Olivia Wilde), the nuances of playing the same character in Open Your Eyes (original) versus the remake Vanilla Sky (0:11-0:35, 1:46, 6:11), and her habit of dreaming in film, often replaying scenes (12:17).
- Personal Anecdotes: She shares a wild story about a Halloween flight with Salma Hayek involving a depressurized cabin (3:12), her deep-seated fear of driving despite being gifted a car by Bono (10:06), and how her children finally considered her "cool" after she attended a Bad Bunny concert (4:54).
- Behind the Scenes: She reflects on her collaborative relationship with Pedro Almodóvar, noting how he often writes food into his scripts simply because he wants to eat it during filming (8:22).
- Parenting & Games: She mentions playing the game Wolves and Villagers with friends and family, which she views as excellent practice for actors to spot liars (16:07).
The Hot Ones Challenge: Cruz begins the challenge quite nervous but maintains a spirited attitude throughout, often laughing despite the increasing heat of the sauces. She famously notes at one point, "I think people lie when they come here. It's not spicy," before the later, more intense sauces eventually test her resolve (4:21, 7:26, 17:14).
Upcoming Projects: Cruz highlights her current work on the film Paris Paramount, directed by Nancy Meyers, where she plays an actress (21:32).
