Corset-wearing Penelope reveals dance pain
January 16, 2009 
Penelope Cruz has revealed that a dance routine she performs in her new movie Nine, for which she reportedly wears nothing but a sexy traditional corset, was so strenuous that it left her in a lot of pain.
The seductive Spaniard stars alongside Daniel Day-Lewis, Kate Hudson, Sophia Loren, Marion Cotillard and Nicole Kidman in the new musical, which is due for release in November.
Penelope, who trained as a dancer before turning to acting, admits that the routine was tough but was also extremely satisfying and worth all the effort in the end.
She explained: "You carry on and forget the pain, and at the end of the day you see all the blisters and bruises.
"I couldn't stop crying, because I had been doing dance classes and rehearsals for so many months. It's in the film and it will be there for ever, but I don't get to do it again. I was addicted to it!"
