However, actors like Javier Bardem andPenélope Cruzhave proved that wrong by starring in9 filmstogether includingJamón Jamón, Not Love, Just Frenzy, Don’t Tempt Me, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Everybody Knows, and others.

However, the media went ahead of themselves and asked a rather rude and sexist question about the couple to Bardem. At the Cannes press conference forEverybody Knows, a reporter asked the actor about his feelings about being the only man who enjoys working with his wife. Bardem was certainly taken aback by such a question but he had the perfect response (viaYouTube).
