Cruz: 'I drove Allen crazy on set'

Penelope Cruz has said that she drove Woody Allen crazy on the set of Vicky Cristina Barcelona by asking the director for more takes.

The actress claimed that she made Allen so mad that he had to run away on the final day, Metro reports.

"The last day I went psychotic and asked for ten more takes," she said.

"When they were about to wrap the movie I always go into a crisis and I think this is it, I have no more chance to do anything else for the character."

She said that Allen was "very patient" and gave her nine more takes before he fled the scene on the last day of shooting.

Last year, Scarlett Johansson expressed surprise at the reaction of "conservative" people to news of her on-screen kiss with Cruz in the movie.
