PENELOPE CRUZ has not been “bowled over” by Jude Bellingham since his arrival at Real Madrid.
The Golden Boy Award winner has starred since joining the LaLiga giants from Borussia Dortmund in the summer.
Bellingham, 20, has earned plaudits for his performances for Los Blancos, scoring 15 goals in 17 appearances.
However, despite growing up in Madrid and being a fan of the club, Penelope Cruz has not become a big fan of the player.
Sky Sports reporter Craig Slater was at the premiere of the Michael Mann film ‘Ferrari’ and spoke to the Spanish actress about the England international.
However, the Vicky Cristina Barcelona star was not overly aware of Bellingham due to being immersed in making the film.

“She’s gotta be the only Real fan who is not bowled over by what young Mr Bellingham is doing over there.
“Maybe she’s been so immersed in this film she hasn’t had time to catch the games.”
Penelope plays Laura Ferrari in the film alongside Star Wars star Adam Driver who plays Enzo Ferrari.
The film premiered at Leicester Square, London, with many famous faces making appearances.
Bellingham was awarded with the 2023 Golden Boy award at a ceremony in Turin, Italy.
After collecting his prize, he said: “I’m proud to win the Golden Boy Award.
“My secret is the responsibility since I was a kid in the Academy. I love that.
