Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides stars Sam Claflin and Astrid Bergès-Frisbey couldn't have been more thrilled to learn that they'd landed roles in the franchise. We sat down with the young actors at the movie's recent press day in Beverly Hills, where we chatted with them about how they got the exciting news and what they learned from their seasoned costars Penelope Cruz and Johnny Depp. The movie is sure to be the start of big things for both of the newcomers. In fact, shortly after we spoke, Sam landed a role opposite Kristen Stewart in Snow White! Check out our interview with the costars and check out Pirates in theaters this weekend!
Penelope Cruz Heads Home to Madrid With Her Pirates
Vogue cover girl Penelope Cruz changed up her promotional outfits today by wearing a one-piece, instead of a long dress, to the Madrid photo call for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides held at the city's Villamagna Hotel. She's in her native Spain after a whirlwind promotional schedule that kicked off over a week ago in LA, where she and costar Johnny Depp debuted the movie with a huge todo at Disneyland. Penelope and Johnny were then off to Moscow, London, and, finally, Cannes for a star-studded screening during the film festival. Despite our hopes, neither Johnny nor Penelope have hit the red carpet with their respective significant others Vanessa Paradis and Javier Bardem. In fact, Johnny seems to be sitting out the last leg of the promotional endeavors. Penelope was solo for yesterday's event in Munich, and this morning she had only costars Sam Claflin and Astrid-Berges Frisbey as well as producer Jerry Bruckheimer. Penelope has one more Pirates premiere this evening in her home city, and she's sure to keep the fab press tour fashion coming.
