GOSSIP:
|
- Member of the jury at the Cannes Film Festival in 2005
- Is the first Spanish actor ever to be nominated for an Academy Award.
- Says in interviews that he doesn't know how to drive.
- Played rugby as a teen and was on the Spanish National team.
- A stranger in a disco asked him his name. When Javier replied, the man punched him in the face for no apparent reason, breaking his nose.
- Javier's original interest was in painting, and he studied at Madrid's Escuela de Artes y Officios. Eventually deciding he'd never be a talented painter, he drifted into a number of odd jobs, working as a bouncer, a writer, a construction worker and even a stripper.
- To portray Reinaldo Arenas, Javier not only learned Cuban-Spanish, but Cuban- accented English, and lost 30 pounds to better resemble the smaller-framed Arenas.
- Javier, his mother, Pilar Bardem and his siblings, Mónica Bardem and Carlos Bardem often appear in each other's films.
- To become Ramón Sampedro, a 55-year-old Spanish man who made headlines with a crusade to end his own life, Javier, aged 35, was on the set of The Sea Inside at the crack of dawn for a five-hour makeup session that produced the necessary aging.
- Shares birthday with Frédéric Chopin and David Niven.
- Actors Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna list him as their favorite actor.
- Very good friends with Penelope Cruz.
- Beat out Johnny Depp for the role of Florentino Ariza in LOVE IN THE TIME OF CHOLERA.
- Nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role at Academy Awards for BEFORE NIGHT FALLS (2001)
- Nominated for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama at Golden Globes for MAR ADENTRO (2005)
