Washington, Feb 2 : Penelope Cruz is the latest celebrity to join hands with PETA for its anti-fur campaign in US.
The Spanish actress has condemned the use of real fur by posing on a 70-foot billboard, which is set to be displayed outside New York's Madison Square Garden.
The 37-year-old, who is married to actor Javier Bardem, turns her head to look over her bare back next to the words, `Give Fur the Cold Shoulder', in the advertisement.
The billboard will be up throughout New York Fashion Week from February 9-16 and similar campaigns will take place in London and Milan as the brunette beauty condemns the use of real fur for clothing.
"Penelope Cruz has appeared on every `best-dressed' list in the world, and the one thing you'll never see her wearing is fur," Contactmusic quoted Yvonne Taylor, PETA Senior Programme Manager, as saying.
"One couldn't ask for a more fitting emblem of the modern, glamorous woman who knows that there's nothing more beautiful than a woman who has a look that kills without anyone having to die for it," Taylor added. (ANI)
