"I was afraid so I ended up sleeping in her bedroom."

Penelope Cruz opens up about her relationship with Salma Hayek.

The Spanish actress, who was appearing on Thursday's episode "The Ellen DeGeneres show," recalled Hayek's care for her when she first arrived in Hollywood.

Cruz, 47, stated that when he first visited LA, he and Cruz didn't know eachother except via the phone. "I came here with a ticket to see a movie. I had my return ticket. So, I was going to be here for two months. I didn't know anyone.

Cruz claimed that Hayek picked her from the airport, even though they had never met in person before. She insisted that she stay at her home instead of staying in a hotel.

"She picked me at the airport and said, 'You are not going to the Hotel. Because this is difficult at the beginning, you're coming to mine. The "Parallel Moms" star stated that you will feel lonely. "So she took my to her house."

The friendship blossomed. Cruz said, "That's why we're now like sisters." Because I was afraid, I ended up sleeping in her bedroom. That's how we met. She also said that she held her hand in the middle the night because she was afraid. "I don't know what I was dreaming, but I do not know."

She said that Hayek, 55, was "amazing." "You know, that someone that I really didn’t know, only via the phone... She said, ‘You are, regardless of whether you want [to], but you’re coming to mine. I won't leave you at the hotel. She is the reason I love her so much. She's been so patient with me since day one."

During the interview, Cruz also spoke with DeGeneres to discuss Hayek's owl Kering and why she was so "blown away" by her meeting her.

Cruz stated, "I love the Owl." "When Hayek told me she had one, I was shocked because my grandmother had one when I was young. I was scared of them, but I always wanted to see her."

She laughed and said, "[Hayek] invites [sic] us to feed the Owl with these little Rats and gives[s] it] to my daughter to give to the Owl, which is a little traumatizing for her,"

Cruz shares Luna, 8-year-old, and Leo, 10 years, with Javier Bardem.
