‘I worry about staying healthy…’: Penelope Cruz admits to multiple health scares

LOS ANGELES: Actor Penelope Cruz has revealed facing health scares like a brain aneurysm multiple times.

In a recent interview, Penelope Cruz, who previously admitted to being warned by a doctor about a possible brain aneurysm, said, “I have had many scares like that. Fortunately, I’m fine; it was a false alarm, but I worry about staying healthy, taking care of myself,” she said, according to E! News.

The actress confirmed taking every measure that she can for her health. “I don’t drink, I don’t smoke. I really don’t party. Without health, we have nothing. You want to talk about real equality? Why don’t we start with health?” she continued.

Expressing gratitude for her continued health, Cruz added, “In my twenties, people were already asking me if I was afraid of getting older. I got asked that question so many times. My way to battle it then was just not answering. I was not going to give weight or importance to that question.”

Earlier in May, Penelope Cruz revealed being warned about a possible brain aneurysm while she was working on ‘The Black Ball’, as per Variety.

“And then when we’re about to go out, I was putting on my wig, and they said, ‘Oh, apparently you have some brain aneurysm’. I thought I was about to die. This is something that was totally surreal in my life,” she said at the time. (ANI)
