Penélope Cruz and Johnny Depp are catching up in Spain.
On Wednesday, Sept. 25, Cruz, 50, shared a selfie of herself posing with her Pirates of the Caribbean costar Depp, 61 to her Instagram Stories. Both actors are in Spain this week for the San Sebastian Film Festival, where Depp’s new movie as a director, Modi, Three Days on the Wing of Madness,made its world premiere on Sept. 24.
Cruz also appeared at the festival this week with her husband of 14 years, Javier Bardem, as he received the festival’s Donostia award for his career’s achievements on Sept. 20. The actress shared three photos of her and Bardem, 55, on the festival’s red carpet to Instagram on Sept. 22, writing in a caption, “💕💕💕💕.”
Depp and Cruz have worked together on a number of movies, including the 2001 film Blow, 2011’s Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and 2017’s Murder on the Orient Express. The Academy Award-winning actress publicly supported Depp during his 2020 defamation case against ex-wife Amber Heard with a written declaration she submitted at the time.

“Many years have passed and I have not only made 3 movies with him, but I also count on him as a great friend,” Cruz wrote in court documents at that time. “I’ve always been impressed by his kindness, his brilliant mind, his talent, and his peculiar sense of humor.”
Depp appeared to reference his highly publicized court battle with Heard during a Sept. 24 press conference at the Spanish film festival after he was asked how he related to his movie’s subject, the 20th century Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani.

“Each has their story. Sure, we can say that I’ve been through a number of things here and there. But, you know, I’m alright,” he said, per video from the conference shared on Instagram by The Hollywood Reporter. “I think we’ve all been through a number of things, ultimately. Maybe yours wasn’t, didn’t turn into a soap opera, televised, in fact.”
Heard, who now lives a quiet life in Madrid, Spain, with her 3-year-old daughter, paid Depp $1 million in a settlement to conclude the defamation lawsuit after a jury sided mostly with Depp.
