Penelope Cruz & Javier Bardem Make A ‘Biutiful’ Couple At Cannes

By Simone Hilliard

Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem were spotted hand in hand leaving the Cannes premiere of his latest film Biutiful yesterday (May 17).

The handsome Spaniard initially walked the red carpet alone, posing for photos with his co-stars and sharing laughs with the drama's director, Alejandro Gonzalez Iñarritu, of Babel.

We have more photos and news on these two hotties, after the jump!

Cruz seemingly didn't want to steal the limelight from her boyfriend, and looked lovely while accompanying her novio after the screening in an elegant black gown.  

Javier has generated a lot of buzz with his powerful performance in "Biutiful," playing a father working in illegal trade who is diagnosed with cancer.

The Oscar-winner, who said the role was "very rewarding", has won a great deal of praise, especially from his director.

"Only somebody like Javier could be doing that," Alejandro said referring to his emotionally intense performance.

Sounds like "Biutiful" is a must see!
