Inside Luna Encinas Cruz's loving bond with her superstar parents

Luna Encinas Cruz shares a loving bond with her parents, Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem.

In an interview with Arabia Vogue, Penelope revealed how her daughter reacted when she learned that her mother would be awarded the Volpi Cuo at the 2021 Venice Film Festival.

"My daughter was with me and said, 'Mom, why are you crying if you are getting a prize?' I had to explain to her what this award meant to me," said the 50-year-old actress.

 Luna Encinas, 11, also had a sweet reaction when she learned that her father would portray King Triton in The Little Mermaid.

During an appearance on The Jess Cagle Show, Javier shared, "My daughter got so emotional, and I said, 'But I am not playing Ariel, Luna,' and she said, 'Of course not, Dad, you will be Triton, right?'"

"That is one of the reasons why I did [The Little Mermaid],” he added.

In 2022, Javier, 55, also appeared in another musical, Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile.

“For my kids to watch a movie with dad in it, so they're finally proud of what I do — because they don't care!” he told Metro.co.uk.
