So, today I watched an excellent American movie with my good friend from college called ‘No Country for Old Men’ which obviously stars Javier Bardem who plays the psycho villain in the movie so smoothly and well that he won various awards for it in 2007 making him the first Spanish actor to receive an Oscar. I got introduced to Javier a long time ago when I was looking up the gorgeous talented Spanish actress, Penelope Cruz. As you know, she is my favorite Spanish actress and the two are now married and have a son together. I knew he was a famous actor but I didn’t know which movie to watch with him so when my friend randomly came over with ‘No Country for Old Men’, I was excited to finally see Javier acting and on my television screen.
He was everything I thought he would be as an actor and got a really cool role in that movie. I have never ever seen anyone play a villain like him before. He was so scary and creepy in the movie and he just played it so perfectly that I must say I was a bit terrified of him as well. No wonder he got nominated so many times for it and won awards!!! You have to see the movie to find out exactly what I mean.
As for his looks, I think he is extremely sexy regardless of what my sister and friend thinks. They kept telling me that he is an excellent actor but not good looking...well I completely disagree on the looks part because I think he is hot as hell. I love how he carries himself and I love his strong ethnic manly features. There is nothing feminine about him whatsoever and I love that because I get sick of looking at all these pretty girly boys sometimes. There really needs to be more men like him ;).
Anyways, he is definitely on his way to being my second favorite Spanish actor (Edwardo Noriega being my first) so stay tuned to possibly seeing some foreign movie reviews with him being in them. I’m very excited for that because starting today Mr. Bardem has a new fan! Well, here is some basic information on Javier Bardem:
