The cast and crew of musical movie Nine had just as much fun behind the scenes as they did on screen, according to Penelope Cruz.

The Spanish actress says she had a novel way of making sure they were all on song.

“I tried to take everybody to karaoke. We were planning it and then it didn’t happen,” said the 35-year-old.

She added: “Most of us went to a concert together to see Madonna and that was really inspiring and really beautiful.”
