Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem are reportedly facing a Hollywood backlash over their criticism of Israel's offensive in Gaza.
The couple, along with dozens of other Spanish film stars, directors and writers, signed an open letter which described the actions against Palestinians as "genocide".
The letter demanded a ceasefire by the military and urged Israel to lift the blockade in the Gaza Strip. Following the comments, the pair were accused of being anti-Semitic. One top producer who has worked with Cruz says he has vowed not to hire her again, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The publication also said another top Hollywood executive had expressed his disapproval, saying he was "furious at Javier and Penelope" and was not sure about working with the couple again.
So far, one studio boss, Relativity Media chief executive Ryan Kavanaugh, has gone public with his views.
He said: "As the grandson of Holocaust survivors, I know that anyone calling what's going on in Israel 'genocide' vs self-defence is either ignorant and shouldn't be commenting or is truly anti-Semitic".
