Actress Penélope Cruz has had to pull out of promoting one of her new movies in Cannes – due to food poisoning.
The stunning star was set to present her upcoming musical Nine at the famous film festival, but suffered some kind of stomach bug.
The Spanish actress was also in France to premiere her movie Broken Embraces, which is directed by Pedro Almodóvar, and was slated to join movie mogul Harvey Weinstein in presenting a trailer and a teaser for Nine, but fell ill.
Weinstein passed on the bad news to a select group of journalists, saying: “She has some sort of food poisoning.
“Tomorrow night is her premiere for her movie. She is getting better and is seeing a doctor right now.”
The cast-list for Nine boasts a host of top Hollywood names, including Nicole Kidman, Kate Hudson, Judi Dench, Fergie, Daniel Day-Lewis and Sophia Loren.
