Penélope Cruz first met Pedro Almodóvar when she was cast in his 1997 film, “Live Flesh.” Almodóvar had originally wanted her to star in “Kika,” but Cruz was too young for the role. The director promised her he would write a character for another movie, and he did.
Cruz received the script and recalls being moved by the story of this mother put in a difficult position. “To have the permission to do that with a character, but also with good motivation behind it because she just doesn’t want to lose what she loves the most, I feel grateful,” Cruz says. “I thought, ‘What an incredible homage to motherhood through these very different mothers.’ He doesn’t judge that are put in very extreme difficult situations. And I just fell in love with Janis.
Cruz also talked about her roles and what she’s drawn to. “I try to do stuff that is as different as possible from myself from each other,” she says. “I don’t want to do the same thing twice.”
