    Woody Allens health phobia makes Penelope Cruz relax on movie set

    Hollywood star Penelope Cruz says health phobic filmmaker Woody Allen, with whom she is working second time in To Rome with Love, creates such hilarious situation on the set that she forgets about her own anxiety. ''He is such a hypochondriac, I have to laugh at him. In Vicky, Cristina, Barcelona on the day Scarlett Johansson and I were to share a screen kiss, he had to leave the set to go to see a dermatologist because he had just seen a new freckle that morning. I said, 'Why don't you go this evening when we have finished shooting?' He said, 'It might be too late by then'. That made me so laugh so much, I couldn't be nervous about the kissing scene,'' the Spanish-origin actress said. The actress said that ''hypochondriac'' Woody Allen is so funny that she can't stop laughing but she also loves how the legendary director takes her mind off difficult scenes with his own worries.
