Penelope Cruz enjoying 'complete' motherhood

Washington, Nov 17 : Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodovar has said that motherhood has changed Penelope Cruz in a major way.

The 62-year-old director made the revelation at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC on Tuesday, where he was honoured, and told how the 37-year-old actress had adjusted to life with her 11-month-old son, Leo.

"She wanted to really experience being a mother in a complete way," Us Magazine quoted Almodovar as saying.

"She sends me photos of the baby every 15 days. I see how he's growing.

"He has an incredibly big smile, you cannot imagine. He's beautiful, gorgeous and he's big."

"She's a really avocational mother. In all my movies she plays a mother. She always said, 'I want to be a mother'," he added.
