If there is something that characterizes Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem, it is that they like nothing and even less to talk about their private lives. The acting couple are extremely discreet and protect the privacy of their intimate and family life to unsuspected limits.
Therefore, it is not surprising that they were not at all amused when they heard details and anecdotes about their house in Madrid on television when the architect who designed it, Joaquín Torres, began to tell them as if it were nothing. The couple did not hesitate and sent a burofax to Torres, warning him to stop talking about them.
Since Joaquín Torres has been on Espejo Público, he has become one of the most controversial collaborators on television. In each of his appearances, the architect gains a new "enemy": Cristina Tárrega, Tamara Falcó, Mar Flores, Carmen Lomana... And now, Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem, who have not hesitated to stop him so soon as the architect mentioned their names.
It all started when the architect mentioned Penélope Cruz in an exchange of words with Carmen Lomana, who precisely told him to choose "his own puddle" to get into. Torres explained in detail the project he designed for the Oscar winner for Vicky, Cristina, Barcelona and he was not amused by that, which caused him to immediately send him a burofax.
"This week I received a burofax from Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem. What did I say that was offensive?" the architect asked himself, confirming the warning he had received from the acting couple that same week. Torres confirmed that he signed confidentiality contracts with his clients, so he did not understand the reason for this legal warning. "He tells me to refrain from talking about them. I don't say anything because I'm very discreet," he said, unable to believe that the couple wanted to restrict him.
Torres gave some details about the couple's house during the construction of their house in Madrid. Among other things, the problem they had with the floorboards, with which they were not satisfied once everything was assembled.
"They had chosen a 30cm piece of wood from Porcelanosa. The tone was white, matte, broken. When everything was in place, it didn't seem right to them and I told them that it was the tone that had been chosen. All the wood in the room had to be changed. house to put another one. I am the one from Porcelanosa and I tell them that 'nanai, this is what it is,'" Torres assured.
Not only that, but he also revealed that the actors took their privacy to such a point that, every time they came to see how the works were going on in their house, it had to be completely empty so that "no one could see them." "The construction visits were terrible, they had to empty the house so that no one would see them."
Now, despite the warning, the architect was not going to keep quiet. What's more, he addressed the matter again and assured that he had a "really bad time" with the couple. So much so that he did not finish designing the house for them. "It was a very complicated couple, not because they were demanding, which all clients are, but because they blamed me for what appeared in the press about them, for snitching on me," said Torres, lamenting the lack of trust they had in he. "It's impossible to work with someone you don't trust. They're so obsessed with their privacy that it's very difficult to work with them."
