Longtime friend and fashion designer John Galliano made Cruz's wedding dress.

The Spanish actors are believed to have been dating since 2007 although they only officially confirmed they were an item in May of this year.

Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson has described her onscreen kiss with co-actor Penelope Cruz in Woody Allen’s movie ‘Vicky Cristina Barcelona’ as the ‘least sexy thing ever imagined’.

Though much-hyped, 23-year-old Scarlett feels the romantic factor is missing in the kissing scene.

“There were 60 crewmen eating salami sandwiches, it’s really the least sexy thing you can ever imagine,” the Telegraph quoted the actress, as saying.

On the other hand, Penelope Cruz seems to be even less bothered about the kissing scene as she reveals that she is completely bored with the hype created over her kiss with Johansson.

“She and I have been asked that question a thousand times, and we are sorry that we don’t have any funny stories to tell you about it,” Cruz said.

Apparently the stars seemed uncomfortable as far as questions regarding their personal lives were concerned, as Johansson avoided any personal questions, while she walked down the red carpet without fiance Ryan Reynolds, and Cruz and Javier Bardem who have reportedly been dating walked separately.

Kissing Penelope Cruz was "the least sexy thing you can ever imagine", according to Scarlett Johansson. The blonde beauty, who locks lips with the Spanish siren Cruz in Woody Allen's new movie Vicky Cristina Barcelona, insists despite the hype surrounding the raunchy scene, it did not live up to her expectations.

Johansson said: "There were about 60 crewmen sitting around eating salami sandwiches! It's really the least sexy thing you can ever imagine!"

Scarlett also said the scene will only shock the most conservative viewers, adding: "These characters are in love with each other! Oh my gosh! People are so conservative!"

However Scarlett, who is engaged to Definitely, Maybe star Ryan Reynolds, admits she would love to be nominated in the Best Kiss category at next year's MTV Movie Awards.

"Anytime that my name and best kiss come up, I'm more than inclined to accept the award," she said.

It was Johansson's third time working with Allen, who directed her in Match Point and Scoop. Has she set a date with Reynolds?

“We’re just enjoying our time,” she said. “We’re just recently - very recently - engaged. So, you know, we’re just taking it easy. And no big plan yet. But it’s a good time and we’re just … enjoying our time to be young and engaged.

“I mean, I’m 23. There’s no reason to rush into it. Everything feels very natural and relaxed.”

Actress Penelope Cruz is still haunted by the dark days of her initial Hollywood career.

The Volver star said that she felt miserable and lonely.

"Many times I would pick up the phone and realise there was no one to call because I didn't have any friends," Contactmusic quoted her as saying.

"The experience means a trip back to the Sunset Marquis to meet friends or directors is never one she enjoys.

"I cannot even look at those rooms now. I have a weird physical reaction. Everything comes back from those years," she added.
