Penélope Cruz may have taken on the role of co-owner of Ferrari in her latest project, yet surprisingly, she isn't an enthusiast of driving cars. In a recent ELLE interview, the actress disclosed a childhood trauma that has instilled in her a "fear of driving," stemming from a harrowing incident where her sister was run over by a car in front of her when she was just eight or nine.

Reflecting on the moment, Cruz recalled that "time stopped" during that traumatic experience. However, the memory continues to exert its influence on her to this day. When it came to portraying Enzo Ferrari's wife, Laura, in Ferrari, Cruz expressed her reluctance to take on the role of being behind the wheel.

In general, she revealed having a specific hypersensitivity encompassing various aspects, from visual perception to sound and people's emotions. She considers herself lucky to have this sensitivity in the context of her career, yet it also means she tends to feel or suffer things more.
