Penelope Cruz Hires a Bodyguard

According to the newspaper The Sun, the incident happened in Paris when two individuals tried to steal the star’s handbag.

The actress was in the back of a Mercedes in the French capital when the two thieves tried to smash the window to commit their crime.  Luckily, the driver was able to speed off.

"Penelope cried all the way back to the hotel. She was very frightened. One of the men had a large rock and was ramming it on the glass. How it didn’t smash was a miracle."
