Even winning an Academy Award and dominating global red carpets is not quite enough to impress your own children. Global icon Penélope Cruz recently stopped by the hit internet show Hot Ones on the First We Feast channel to promote her latest film, The Invite. While taking on the legendary “wings of death,” the superstar candidly revealed that her prestigious Hollywood résumé meant very little to her kids. Instead, it took a surprise assist from global reggaeton superstar Bad Bunny to completely redefine her reputation at home.
Penelope Cruz gained the ‘cool’ mom status with her kids thanks to Bad Bunny
The hilarious family transformation began quite naturally when Cruz’s children first introduced her to Bad Bunny’s music during a car ride. Like any protective parent, her initial instinct was to set strict boundaries. “The kids introduced me to his music,” Cruz shared with a laugh. “So I was like, these lyrics are not for you. You know, we will try to fight that for a while.”
However, her casual introduction soon turned into a full-blown obsession. “But then I was like nonstop listening by myself,” she admitted. Cruz became such a dedicated fan that she ended up attending five different shows on the tour, beginning with the opening concert in Puerto Rico. It was during that performance that the ultimate parenting moment unfolded. The artist, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, personally approached the actress backstage and asked her to join him on stage to say the iconic line, “P.R. es otra cosa.”
Stepping onto the massive stage alongside one of the biggest artists in the world completely stunned her children. It instantly eclipsed years of traditional parenting efforts in a single viral moment. “Finally, my kids came to me and said, ‘Mom. Finally, you, we can say you are cool. We can say you are a cool mother,’” Cruz admitted, capturing a relatable parenting moment. “I was like, thank you, Benito. Thank you. Oh, it took me all these years!”
True to the chaotic nature of the show’s format, this sentimental family moment was immediately interrupted by the punishing spice of the wings. Right after delivering her heartfelt thanks to Benito, the lingering heat from the sauce caught up with her. It caused the actress to break character and briefly switch back to her native Spanish.
