Well known in her native Spain for dramatic roles on the TV series Al salir de clase, the acclaimed films El arte de morir, Iznogoud and Ninette, and the Mexican television effort Mujeres asesinas, Elsa Pataky first broke into the international mainstream movie arena by wrestling with deadly reptiles in Snakes on a Plane in 2006. Now she’s shifting her career into high gear.Elsa Pataky
In Spain you’re bigger than Julia Roberts. But you’re making your American movie debut in…Snakes on a Plane. Why?
When I first read the script, I was like, Snakes on a Plane, are they serious? And even though I made a lot of interesting and serious movies in Spain—my movie Ninette was nominated for seven Spanish Oscars.

The 34-year-old Spanish actress covered her hair with a brown hat and sported large sunglasses.
Pataky took a stroll along the shore before going for a dip in the ocean.
The 27-year-old Aussie actor had to workout six or seven days a week to get in shape for the film, but that wasn’t the best part of film. “Getting to wear a cape and a big, beautiful costume is fun,” he told The Insider, adding that his intense workout for the role included “buckets of protein.”
