The actress has been married to fellow Oscar winner Javier Bardem whom she first met on the set of 1992's Jamón Jamón since 2010 and she attributes the secret of their happiness to a few simple rules.
"It probably helps that we've actually known each other for more than 30 years, so we had a very long friendship together before we were married.
