How old was Penélope Cruz in Sahara?

You might be surprised to learn how young—or old—some stars were in iconic scenes. That kind of trivia can make the viewing experience even richer. Here’s the age that matched the moment.

While Sahara was being made, Penélope Cruz was:

That number reflects the celebrity’s real age when the movie was made.

For this age we used as a reference point the first day of the year of the release of Sahara:
