Actress
Penelope
Cruz
has
denied
reports
she
suffered
a
panic
attack
aboard
an
airplane
as
it
taxied
to
the
runway,
forcing
pilots
to
turn
the
vehicle
around.
The
Vanilla
Sky
star
was
aboard
a
Continental
Airlines
flight
from
Newark,
New
Jersey
to
Barcelona,
Spain
when
the
incident
occurred
on
June
28.
However,
Cruz
claims
she
disembarked
the
aircraft
when
informed
there
would
be
a
three
hour
delay
-
and
not
because
she
had
an
anxiety
attack.
A
spokesperson
for
Cruz
says,
"There
was
no
panic
attack.
The
airline
told
her
there
was
going
to
be
a
three
hour
delay
because
of
a
storm,
so
she
deplaned
and
did
some
work."
