Penelope Cruz may currently be out promoting To Rome With Love, but for ever since the birth of son Leo she’s been relishing her role as housewife!

The mother of 17-month-old son Leo with husband Javier Bardem recently told the UK’s Hello! magazine:

“I’m a housewife and it’s beautiful, the best thing in the world. I know how to cook and it’s important to me to make fresh food every day. I don’t do crazy diets, just the good Mediterranean food that I love because it’s important to eat well.”

“I’m good at cleaning too. I learned that when I made the film Volver,” Penelope Cruz continued. “My character was always cleaning the house, so when I started preparing for the role I would go to my mother’s house and to my sister’s house, and they were like, ‘I think she has a fever because I don’t know why else she has come to clean my house today.’”
