Washington, Nov 16 Hollywood actress Penelope Cruz has praised actor Daniel Day-Lewis for his patience to tolerate his female co-stars' constant chatter on sets of their film Nine.

Cruz appears alongside Marion Cotillard, Nicole Kidman, Kate Hudson, Dame Judi Dench, Sophia Loren and Black Eyed Peas star Fergie, in the movie musical.

She insists the women must have driven the actor insane with their non-stop gossiping.

"You have to be a very patient actor because there was no silence (on the set). All of the women, we were talking non-stop," Contactmusic quoted Cruz as saying.

"There was always something to talk about (and) we were always together," she added. (ANI)
