New
York
(ANI):
Former
President
Bill
Clinton
proved
that
not
even
the
Queen
of
Spain
could
distract
him
from
sitting
beside
his
favourite
actress
Penelope
Cruz.
Clinton
was
present
at
the
Spanish
Institute
Gold
Medal
Gala
on
Park
Avenue
along
with
Vogue
editor
Anna
Wintour
and
Queen
Sofia
of
Spain.
According
to
socialdiary.com,
Mr.
Clinton
was
seated
next
to
the
Queen
of
Spain,
on
her
right
with
Mr.
Oscar
de
la
Renta
on
her
left.
To
the
left
of
Mr.
de
la
Renta
was
Ms.
Cruz,
and
to
right
of
Mr.
Clinton
was
Anna
Wintour.
The
main
highlight
of
the
evening
was
when
former
president
eventually
switched
his
seat
with
Mr.
de
la
R
so
that
he
could
be
seated
next
to
the
movie
star.
After
being
felicitated
with
a
medallion
from
Queen
Sofia,
Clinton
revealed
to
the
audience
that
he
has
seen
everyone
of
the
Cruz's
movie.
"I
was
trying
to
figure
out
exactly
why
I
would
receive
this
award
tonight.
It
may
be
because
even
though
I'm
not
of
Spanish
descent,
I've
seen
every
one
of
Penelope
Cruz's
movies
—
and
I
liked
them
all," said
Clinton.
