娱乐英语新闻:Penelope Cruz, big fun of Guinness

BEIJING, March 16 -- Penelope Cruz is a huge fan of the Irish stout, but she admits she can't drink more than one without feeling the effects.

    She said: "I really like Guinness. I always drink it straight from the bottle. I have a lot of Irish friends and they introduced me to it. Although I like it if I have one I'm drunk!"

    Penelope, 34, isn't the only Hollywood beauty to have an unlikely penchant for Guinness.

    Gwyneth Paltrow is also partial to downing a few pints of the black stout when she has night off from motherhood duties.

    The 'Iron Man' actress - who has a four-year-old daughter Apple and son Moses, two, with her Coldplay star husband Chris Martin - recently revealed: "I'm probably less square than people think. I love Guinness and the odd glass of red wine. I never get drunk to the point of throwing up, but I get very talkative."
