Penelope Cruz forgot her free upgrade

Penelope Cruz freaked onboard a flight from Newark to Barcelona as it left the gate Thursday night, causing the plane to be delayed almost two hours as Cruz got off and got her luggage, the Huffington Post reports.

“She was freaking out and refused to fly,” a passenger on the Continental flight tells the Post. Flight 120 returned to the gate and later left at 8:52 p.m. for a 7:10 departure, the airline’s Web site shows. She is scheduled to shoot a Woody Allen film in Barcelona.

Maybe she was having flashbacks of the emergency landing she had to endure with Salma Hayek back in 2004.
