Penelope Cruz showed her softer side on a recent visit to Nepal when she snapped the feet of refugee children who had escaped across the mountains from Tibet.
The Spanish actress, who considers her photography hobby a difficult one because of her choice of heartbreaking topics, said that she felt like crying after meeting those kids. She is now planning a new exhibition after taking photos of troubled youths at a California hostel.
"When I was in Kathmandu photographing kids who had escaped from Tibet, some who had escaped by walking across the mountains, I photographed their feet. Some had lost toes because of the snow.
I have to control myself not to cry. Not out of pity, but seeing how tricky life is and how hard it is to make the right choices," femalefirst quoted her as saying.
