Back in October, Penélope was spotted back on the set of her upcoming comedy Official Competition alongside Antonio Banderas, 60, after filming was delayed due to the novel coronavirus pandemic.
The movie, which first began shooting in March before being closed down just eight days later, was tipped as one of 2020’s most highest-profile international Spanish productions as filming resumed in Madrid.
Alongside the Hollywood heavyweights is a further dazzling cast including Argentine Oscar Martínez, as well as two celebrated Argentina-based writers, Mariano Cohn and Gastón Duprat.
In the movie, Antonio and Oscar play famous actors whose staggering egos come in the way of a movie they are filming under the expert eye of the director – played by Penélope.

Prior to filming, Penelope spoke about how she took up smoking after playing nicotine-addicted characters.
The veteran actress found herself hooked on cigarettes after her characters in Blow (2001) and Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008) indulged in the habit on camera.
After smoking for a ‘few years’, Penelope decided to quit to focus on achieving optimal health in order to have children, she told Stella magazine.
The Spanish born beauty shares children Leo, nine, and Luna, seven, with actor husband of 10 years, Javier Bardem, 51.
They first met on set in 1992, but sparks did not fly until they starred opposite each other in Vicky Cristina Barcelona in 2008.
Speaking to Stella magazine, Penélope shared that she led a relatively healthy life, saying: ‘I don’t drink, I don’t smoke and I eat really healthily… I’ve always taken good care of myself and maintained a healthy lifestyle.’
