We all know who Javier Bardem is, buy only a few people may know that art runs through his blood as he comes from a recognized family of Spanish actors. And if we were to talk about fame, he has surpassed his entire family clan.
Grandson of Rafael Bardem and Matilde Muñoz Sampedro, nephew of director Juan Antonio Bardem, son of Pilar Bardem and brother of Carlos Bardem, as a young man this Spanish actor contemplated the idea of dedicating himself to another passion, rugby.
A sport that accompanied him since he was a child and for which he played in the junior Spanish rugby team.
Another fact about this actor married to Penelope Cruz is his great fondness for painting, which led him to enroll in the School of Arts and Crafts. But, as happened with rugby, the brush did not have as much force as the stages.
His upcoming challenge
Now he takes his acting power to another level in The Roads Not Taken. The first Spanish actor to win an Oscar will play an insane man who must live a day full of ghosts accompanied by his daughter (Elle Fanning).
Directed by British Sally Potter, it is a unique interpretation of someone caught in his own thoughts that no one should miss.
