Spanish actress Penelope Cruz was left frightened and upset when two men tried to mug her.

The Vanilla Sky star was sitting in a Mercedes in Paris when two men tried to smash through a window. Thankfully her driver sped away before they could get in.

A source told The Sun: "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."

The event has prompted her to hire her first bodyguard.

Cruz can be seen this year in Breck Eisner's Sahara.
