(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Penlope Cruz says she loves "the game of seduction".

The Spanish actress, who is married to Javier Bardem, gave birth to her son Leo in January of this year. Penlope is known for her sultry nature and sexy and vibrant film roles and the beauty revealed that although she is happily married, she still enjoys flirting with the opposite sex.

"I like flirting, as a lot of women do. I enjoy the game of seduction. Let's just say I love people and I love life!" she laughed in an interview with Closer magazine.

Penlope is planning to scale down her workload now she has Leo. The 37-year-old star has found time to relax since becoming a mother, and is able to enjoy vacations now.

"I think we all change every day but after years of being a workaholic and always being tired, I've changed rhythm and found a more happy equilibrium," she confessed. "I don't feel guilty when I don't work now. Before, when I went home to Spain from America, I'd forgotten how to holiday properly how to lie on the beach and relax. I'd go lock myself in the bathroom with my Blackberry and check for work emails."

The stunning star has been "transformed" since the arrival of her first child. Penlope has revealed that nothing could have prepared her for the first time she set eyes on her new arrival.

"Motherhood has changed me. From the first second you feel so much love. It is a revolutionary experience. That's the best way I can describe it," she previously explained. "Nature is very wise and gives you nine months to prepare, but in that moment when you see that face you are transformed forever." (C) Cover Media
