Well-known Spanish director Pedro Almodovar, who is a gay, says he got attracted to his muse Penelope Cruz with whom he has done films like "Volver" and "All About My Mother".

Almodovar admitted that he was intensely attracted to Cruz while filming his latest film "Broken Embraces", a concept he also included in the plot, reported contactmusic.com.

"Out of all the actresses I have worked with, Penelope really has been the one who has caused a sense of desire in me beyond the sensuality of a film shoot," he said.

"Normally, as a director, you engage with your leading lady on an extremely emotional level, and there is everything but sex. But it is true that with Penelope it is different. She has caused me sexual desire," he added.
