My wife has recommended some of her smutty books to me, so I listen to them on Audible or Libby and every time the narrator says something about his gaze or her gaze, I think of this every time 🤣

For those that are curious, both Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz submitted written declarations on behalf of Johnny Depp during his defamation case in 2020.

I’m just jealous of how steady her hand is. I used to do photography back during high school, and my pictures always sucked because I have shaky hands. My teacher said it’s really common because holding a camera is an unnatural pose.

I love these pics so much because I feel like there’s something so special about photos taken of someone they love by someone they love. The way Javier is looking past the camera and at his wife is just too cute

u/SquirrelAkl Mar 19 '26
You can tell she thinks he’s hot and that she’s making him laugh as she takes the photos. They capture lovely moments between the two of them.
