Penelope Cruz has vowed that she will never post photographs of her children on social media.
The Oscar-winning Spanish actress, 43, is married to fellow actor Javier Bardem, 48, and the couple have two children – six-year-old Leo and four-year-old Luna.
Cruz told The Telegraph’s Stella magazine she feels a “responsibility to protect their privacy”.
She said: “You will never see a picture of my kids on Instagram. I will never do that.
“I feel like I am responsible to protect their privacy. I might post a picture with a friend or a picture with Mert & Marcus (fashion photographers) here and there, or my best friend who’s also an actress (Salma Hayek).
“But there is always a line.”
Cruz, who has 2.1 million Instagram followers, also spoke about how much her priorities have changed since having children.
“I want to raise my kids and I don’t want to be away from them,” she told Stella, adding: “The first question I ask about a film is where in the world is it being shot, the next question is when, and then I look at the project.
“I don’t want projects that would represent that challenge, in terms of not being able to be together.”
She will next be seen in the big-screen adaptation of Murder On The Orient Express, due for release near the end of the year.
Off-screen she also enjoys doing hair and make-up for friends, and even stepped in to help her good friend Hayek get ready for a film premiere.
She said: “The power had gone at Salma’s house and her make-up artist couldn’t come, so she called me and said, ‘You have to get me ready for this premiere’, and I lit some candles and did her hair and make-up too.
“No one noticed that it wasn’t done by a professional, so I was very proud of that.”
Her latest beauty venture sees her promoting a new scent, La Nuit Tresor, from luxury French cosmetic house Lancome.
