I adore this man, I could listen to him talk forever. He’s so profound, just out of nowhere! 💛
me too but he does not sound like Desi nor is he good-looking enough to play Desi. His voice registers too deep to be Desi.
Not to mention he is a communist.
Had to see Javier as himself. When he plays roles as a villain he just totally creeps me out. Scary! Phenomenal actor.
I agree... i need to see more. His description of the difference between European Spanish and Cuban Spanish shoes he truly can fully embody the unique personalities of the characters he is asked to portray.
I loved him in Before darkness falls about a homosexual in Castro's Cuba. Phenomenal!
@@inesrivera1829 thanks so much for mentioning. i haven't seen that one but will now look it up.
@@ventisale1 He has no idea what he's talking about. Carib Spanish comes from the South of Spain. Northern Spaniards act like the South doesn't exist . Its BS
@@juliusceasar34 thanks for explaining that to me. I should not of assumed his statements were 100 percent on point, just because of his talent in acting. Tell me more about the differences, of where I can find out more.
"When you're given such a treasure of intimacy, you really need to put all your commitment into trying to earn it." Mm, preach, Javier!
Dammnn🥰
I watch all of the late night shows and Stephen's guests have the best entrances. We can thank Jon for the proper music that gets everyone going. Great. I think it makes the guests so comfortable.
Funny because I always think the opposite. I feel like they often choose a weird song for the guest, sometimes even kinda sad-sounding ones, and to me they sound BAD, disjointed like a band of middle schoolers, LOL. --I do mean just during guest entrances; the rest of the time they sound great, probably rehearse the songs more.
They know they need to come up with something because it's kind of weird to walk right to the armchair when the music is still playing and the people are clapping.
@@Davidman3976 Yeah they've had walk-in music going all the way back to Johnny Carson. They probably figured it would encourage more applause and it probably does, but back then there was an impulse to music-ify EVERYTHING, like if you want to make something better, add music! Thus every product advertised on TV had a "jingle" and this actually went all the way back to radio shows and their commercials because the listener was just sitting in their home looking at the walls, ha. But at least on radio shows, guest speakers could already be sitting in the studio while the host did his monologue; with the invention of TV, they had to do a visible 'entrance' so thus, ADD MUSIC! If that wasn't an automatic idea, it might have come from the fact that some guests will get noticeably less applause than others (maybe even a few "boos" in some cases) and that's true even to this day, so music can help to modulate it, level it out and make each guest seem just as special as any other.
he appears as a sweet, clever, complex yet lovely person. love Javier Bardem!
Javier's look of devastation when he is dumped as a young man in 'Love in the time of cholera' STILL devastates me just from memory. What an amazing actor. That's talent.
Have you seen Javier playing in "The Sea Inside"? Maradentro in Spanish.
You did a wonderful job!
Love Javier Bardem , his wife, Penelope Cruz and Antonio Banderas . Also Pedro Almodóvar . Lots of talent from 🇪🇸 Spain .
I still can't believe I met this man around 2005 in NYC. I went up to him, we chatted (I'm from Rio and he cameto visit here quite a lot), then in the end he gave me a real hug and a kiss on my cheek. I still have his autograph. Too bad I forgot to take a picture! I was too mesmerized lol.
@Annette G too bad he was taken! Lol
How handsome was he?
@@angelicas.keyser1711 too handsome and charming.
I absolutely adore Javier. He is such an incredible actor and wonderful human.
He's 100% correct about the sound and tone of how Cubans speak English. I'm Puerto Rican and I hear the same musicality and animation vocals in PRs and Cubans when they speak Spanish and English.
Hmmm not so sure. As a Cuban American who has seen a few clips from Desi Arnaz, I don't see much of him in the performance so far, and I only see a Spanish accent with a slightly higher pitch. He tried in his interview, but it comes out cartoonish, like Al Pacino in Scarface (where had a real Cuban American accent right there next to him in his friend). That said, Javier Bardem is usually a very good actor.
Yes! On point
It's funny because my brother-in-law is from the Canary Islands and he also talks with that musicality that Javier's is talking about. For me, that I'm from the Peninsular Spain, it's quite fascinating.
My jaw nearly dropped at this clip of the new film. I've been a fan of Bardem's Spanish-language works for a while, and hearing a Cuban accent come out of his mouth is like. . . wow. Gotta see this.
He is from Las Islas Canarias which was the most influential accent to shape the Cuban accent so it's not really much of a stretch at all, it's in him. His accent has been influenced by mainland Spain but his true Canario accent is extremely similar to the Cuban accent.
Anton Chigurh. Hands down most frightening villain in cinematic history. Javier more than deserved the Oscar, Golden Globe, and BAFTA for that towering performance.
Absolutely agreed. He is one of those actors I wonder about,because they are way too convincing,too good. But I have to be greatful he is a creative artist,doing what he loves.
Agreed. I wondered too. It was deNero-esq
Yes in No country for old men he was more frightening than some scary movies.
You took the words right out of my mouth. One of the single greatest villains of all time.
You took the words right out of my mouth. One of the single greatest villains of all time.
When he gave an example of the difference between Cuban Spanish and European Spanish accents, my jaw dropped. 30+ yrs ago, I worked with a girl who was Cuban and when she spoke Spanish, it was exactly that way!! I remember being amazed because I had never heard Spanish spoken like that.
For spanish speaking people both accents are as different as can be. Jamaican english compared to british english
@@xsotax It is a bit like comparing British English, where they finish every sentence, pronounce every letter, the t’s, the s, with a very clean and direct, sometimes seen as cold European way of saying things, with the American accent, where they normally soften the words, cut sentences and talk with a less straight to the point pronunciation.
In Spain there are areas, like Canary Islands or Andalucía, where they talk with a very similar accent to some Latin American countries, but that’s because that’s were the XVII century conquerors were from back then. Most people in Spain do not speak like that though. There are also local languages that influences the European Spanish.
And then there is specific vocabulary to each Spanish speaking country, some of the Latin American words also exist to this day in Spain and they are used in the same or different context, but other words do not exist at all or existed in old Castilian but disappeared from the common language a long time ago. Spain has also had a lot of influence from the surrounding countries that once invaded it like Italy, Greece, France, UK, Germany, Middle East/Arabic countries, as well as other minor influences from some other northern African and northern European countries, so lots of spanish words have those cultural influences and those origins.
In the case of Latin America, they have native words not used in Europe and there are places like Mexico, for example, where there is a lot of influence from the US, so that’s why they sometimes add English words to their vocabulary on a daily basis. Social Media and the Internet is also changing the way younger generations speak this days too, mainly because of videogames, foreign tv shows, movies, etc.
I’m Cuban and as a Spanish speaker I can say that yes sometimes I’m speaking with my Venezuelan or Colombian friends and have no clue what they mean when there speaking the same language as I am, but words and the way there spoken is just very different across cultures.
@nebula thanks you for such a long explanation. Im Mexican so i already know a lot about Spanish, but thanks
@@azul-t6m really? I had no idea that many of the conquistadors were not from mainland Spain. I should look this up, because that’s such an interesting way to shape a language when a less common accent influences entire continents. and I’m wondering why these island populations produced more conquistadors than mainland Spain … just very interesting so thanks for sharing your several pieces of information
Fantastic interview! Javier is such a fantastic actor and down to earth human. Also really appreciated the time they took to keep the cameras on Jon and the band, they bring something great to this already good show.
Javier Bardem is such a great actor! One of my favorites.
That guy can act! Him and Cristoph Waltz are in a new league of their own.
Javier and Penelope. Beautiful people, inside and out. They both radiate such good energy ✨🤍
They are the pride of Spain 🇪🇸 Together with Antonio Banderas, Rafael Nadal and brothers Pau and Marc Gasol.
LOVE this man, one of the greatest actors!!
Reminder: Javier didn't want to play Anton because he thought his English was bad
This man is a legend, he can do anything he sets his mind to
Some people are just so likeable. You can tell he is a completely down to earth person.
There is nothing "wierd" about calling it a spirit that comes through the artist.
We don't have precise language to describe what happens when actors or singers or instrumentalists create their art. Ask a songwriter or a pianist where it flows from and many of them will just say, I don't know it just comes to me somehow . I don't know if there's a god, but art might be the greatest proof of it.
Stephen has a knack for asking intriguing questions in order to evoke fascinating answers.
Bawhahaha he is right about Cuban’s Spanish accent 🤣 loved it.
Such a likable man and talented.
Only Javier can dance Bábalu to Cuban salsa 💃🏽… what an amazing Spanish actor 🎭. Eres un amor and I love your Cuban accent!
I am an American living in the Canary Islands (Tenerife), Spain….Javier was born on the island of Gran Canaria….
and the isleño accent is very similar to a Cuban accent
I loved him “Love in the time of Cholera” even though the movie doesn’t do the book justice, his performance was moving.
i love how he mentions channeling the true character! I'm a clairvoyant and I can tell when actors are doing this...and have known it, but i've never heard anyone brave enough to say that is what is happening. Gosh i wish I lived in Europe.
Cuba mandates music in the grade schools. Everyone plays an instrument. Music permeates life there. I hope someday we can normalize relations, because the people are special.
Obama agrees with you.🙂👍🏾
@@Dan-nt2yb what?
i wouldn't say we're special but thanks
My dad and I visited Cuba in the 90s. I have never seen such a high density of skilled musicians in any place in my life.
@@kdub1242 Unfortunately, it's partly because many opportunities were behind closed doors for Cubans. Music is not expensive, and it's very soulful and community-oriented.
Jajajajaj....I love Bardem since the time I was living in Spain, I remember I was like : What??????. Brilliant actor!!..I think this is the second time he performs a Cuban character. Great!!.Sooo proud of him!!.
Oh memories! The first movie I watched of him was "Before Night Falls" with Johnny Depp, where he received his first Oscar nomination and really catapulted his Hollywood career into stardom. He is very organic playing real-life characters. Playing the gay Cuban poet Arenas was so unbelievable that I almost always had a visceral reaction to every scene he was on. The movie was a cinematic triumph for me and a masterpiece on its own. It may not have a blockbuster release as it was an Indie film but certainly it lingers far more deep and meaningful to the viewers who watched it. Now, as a Nicole Kidman most avid fan, he is the consummate choice to play the character of Arnas. I think this movie about the iconic TV couple is perfect to a T and theirs is a match made in Hollywood heaven. Both endearing, profound, ultra-talented, legendary in their acting prowess and artistry. Both Kidman and Bardem have both a fascinating body of work. Can't wait for them to take home those Oscars!
Love Before Night Falls!
Props to Jon and Stay Human - Whenever they play Salsa, they are all so happy!
Javier is such a beautiful soul. Excited to see his interpretation of Desi Arnez
Javier Bardem scared the $(%# out of me with his role as the chief villain in No Country For Old Men, and I just have nothing but respect for this guy! He is a legend in my mind, and thank you for the opportunity to see the man being himself.
What about him playing the villain in Skyfall? I read he was the best OO7 bad guy
¡Pero que buen actor y persona es Javier Bardem! Da gusto oírle hablar.
I just love him and his work so much.
Me too his Spanish language and English language films.
Oh my goodness Nicole Kidman got Lucy's voice down so well
I just realized it is Nicole Kidman. Great acting.
She got it. Bardem isn't even close.
@@ArnHaz Great makeup.
Yes, I remember watching "I Love Lucy" when I was a kid with my two brothers and mom back when I was growing up in my country of birth. It was in black and white and, due to the lack of funds, the series didn't get to Malaysia years after it was shown in America. Javier Bardem that I've known throughout his acting career needs more opportunities to make his passion for acting continue to shine. And, speaking as a language teacher, I love his accent? ❤️
Javier & Stephen both doing consistently great work while the world falls apart. My best friend thought Stilgar sounded Russian. Truth & beauty
It's nice that Stephen, being the guy that he is, asked that question and not just glanced through the fact the Bardem is Spanish playing a Cuban. It is somehow educational for all english speakers who think spanish just sounds mexican.
Hi guys! We love the show, but our Brazilian second language community has difficulty watching it because its subtitles are totally out of sync with the video and additional words that weren't said in some videos, making it take us a while to figure out what it is being told. Please fix it so that we can really appreciate understanding the entire content accurately. Greetings to the American public and around the world. One of the best shows ever. God bless you all
It's Javier dear Stephen, not Javiar :-) loved this, and Mr. B and the band are on fire!!
I love Stephen, but he's really got to work on his Spanish pronunciation. He mispronounces José Andrés' name all the time too. Smh
th-cam.com/video/JN2sKUp29x0/w-d-xo.html it's Javiar as Conanito explained
@@yilomagic hahahaha!!! lol
THank you. I've known several Javiers and it sounds like that, not what Stephen says.
I actually think he knows, but as someone who’s learned a lot of languages, sometimes your tongue will slip on vowels, particularly when you’re thinking more about another vowel- his brain was probably thinking about the a in Bardem and it just kinda came out like that
Love to Jon and Stay Human. Honestly I watch the show in the morning while I have my coffee at 5am. (thanks to You Tube). What a good way to start the day.
He’s absolutely lovely 🥰
Love this guy -- so genuine
Love the interview! Stephen is amazing as always. Javier is super talent; loved the spirit part, so true!
Wow! Talk about range. Javier was absolutely terrifying as Anton chighur and now he just disappeared into desi arnaz. You can't even see a trace of the monster in there. I appreciate when an actor can do that.
Love this guy. Very open
How could anyone not love this dude?
He did an incredible job!!!! Blew me away!!!
I love Javier Bardem; he’s such a great actor and seems like a genuinely sweet, kind man. I always loved watching I Love Lucy reruns when I was a kid. There are people criticizing the fact that Javier isn’t Cuban, but being from Spain he’s a native Spanish speaker and Desi Arnaz was a Cuban of European Spanish ancestry. I’m looking forward to seeing this movie! ❤️
He is also a communist.
what an incredible actor
This man is a treasure.
te amo javier.. eres tremendo artista.. en todos los sentidos.. ❤️🙏😎✌️👍
Javier is so right about energy and the spirit coming through. Where do you think every great composer got their inspiration from?
Xavier, just because of you, I wish I was spanish...you and a few more...love from Lisboa!
Portugal is a great county too. Greetings from Spain
I'm Cuban and I loved his cuban accent
*Such an underrated Actor Javier Bardem pure class*
Hi Javier wonderful man love 💕 his wife too. ✋👍💥🙏🇪🇨🙏💚
As an American living in Spain, I will tell you that there are no people more open and honest and expressive than the Spaniards. What Americans need to understand now is the time of Franco here in Spain and how it affected this culture and how the people still remember the repression and poverty and the cruelty that Franco inflicted on the majority of the population. Research it, learn about it, you Americans who voted for El Trumpo.....our democracy and lives depend on your awareness.
I like the Explanation. Many are aware of Stupidity.
Thank you. It can't be said enough.
Yet there seems to have be a concerted effort to forget every aspect, repress all memories of the Franco years by the governments that followed . My English parents live there and told me about a local wall in Spain where 14 people were shot by Francoists - the bullet holes remain - no memorial. This seems to happen a lot in societies that have been through such Trauma , not least because the perpetrators and their successors are so numerous and also , still in positions of power.
Americans don't get that and the MAGA folks seem to embrace lies, cowardice and the guns, intellectual and moral emptiness.
Well said. Thank you.
omg that music at the end was amazing...nice finish to the interview with a great actor
Can't wait!!!! I love he's a channel for spirit.
3 of my favorite celebrity gentleman....Javier, Steven and Jon.....😘😘such a treat!!!
Love this guy Lol, Pablo can stay where he is 🤣 hilarious.
Javier is A Whole lot of Wonderful
I love what he said about Pablo's spirit.. He didn't want none of that, a person must know their limit. lol
I am a big fan of Javier Bardem!!!
I was expecting a "Stephen, I'm home!" during that entrance
Bravo Señor Bardem! Great work on the accent. I haven't seen the movie, but I will! Love it when Stay Human plays salsa, one of these days I have got to witness them live, masterful as always Mr. Batiste!!
Love his acting...just great
Forget all his paid, professional acting… anyone who saw his Inigo Montoya in the lockdown Princess Bride KNOWS what an amazing actor he is. No joke!! His fencing scene with ridiculous, ever-changing swords and a misaligned wig still completely drew me in to the performance.
Ohhh my Gd that spanish man trying to dace salsa. God bless him! jjajajajaja
If Sorkin's involved I'm watching it. The Trial of the Chicago 7 was my favourite movie from last year.
Awesome movie!!
Bardem is a genius actor.
Big fan of Javier!Also I grew up watching I Love Lucy thanks to my dad (RIP) back in El Salvador
He’s so talented every role it’s 🤩 amazing
The Cubans have music in their DNA; Bardem has music in his soul!
Such a Great Clip can't wait to see the movie
he is an incredible actor
I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS. Just yesterday, no idea where this came from, but I started thinking about 'No Country For Old Men' and I wondered if Javier ever did talk show interviews like this. I had no idea he was going to be in a new movie or anything, hadn't even thought of him in forever, although I do think he's great.
I'd say Javier and Penélope have been much luckier than Antonio Banderas was when he succeeded in the USA back in the day. Antonio received so much hate here in Spain then. I guess now we've learned to "forgive" our fellow citizens for succeeding.
I'm happy for them 🙂
💯 agreed! Also the fact that Banderas ended his marriage at the same time , and the gossip about Madonna didn't help.
Who in the hell hated Antonio and for what?
@@FlowerGirl.MN50 backlash for "selling out " I think . Antonio Banderas was at the time part of a small group of actors that were viewed very seriously. Actors in Europe have a different feeling ..as part of art that can be transcendental. Also he had been married many many years and after getting "discovered" by the Hollywood elite they broke up . Also not sure if you're old enough to remember Madonna's documentary, she really was attracted to him and have him a platform for the US audiences to discover him as something exotic. I knew Banderas sin late 90's as part of Almodovar's troupe of actors . Adored his performances especially in Tie me up, tie me down .
th-cam.com/video/CY-oVAo-sjc/w-d-xo.html
I was unaware Banderas was 'hated 'in Spain. When? By whom? You shouldn't make sweeping statements if you can't qualify them, it's not fair to the Spanish.
❤️Love Javi!! ❤️Loved this movie!! 💕Wish it could of been a “SERIES “ could you imagine with all the drama we never knew from behind the scenes, OMG that would be awesome!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💪🏼💪🏼 All the main 4 actors did a fabulous job!!❤️❤️❤️
Javier is delightful!
He is such a great actor.
This was so cute interview. I still watch I Love Lucy whenever I come across it. Some of those old black and white shows are favorites
I literally watched No Country for Old Men last night without any knowledge that this interview was out, good lord its hilariously incredible thinking about that very first kill scene Bardem has in that movie and the look he has on his face, then to watch him walk out on this show lol
Amo ese hombre bardan
I didn't watch him play Anton because even from the trailer, all I could say was "NOPE". I don't love the movie Eat, Pray, Love but I definitely watched it a few times mostly because of Javier. (And the very nice Pearl Jam ballad at the end.)
Javier is a brilliant actor one of my favs
He was a good desi . Loved it .
Thanks for that opinion about us Cubans :-)
The dancing ..not so Cuban , but it looks to be a great performance.
@@Cattiva :D
another cuban! hello !
@@fernie6299 Hello paisano! :-)
he’s such a beautiful man👀
His role in No Country for Old Men is iconic. One of the scariest villains of all time.
I spent some time living with an aunt of mine, who married a man from Cuba. He would wake us at 6a.m. every morning by playing loud music.
Here are some ways to connect Javier to Kevin Bacon:
1. Javier Bardem was in No Country for Old Men with Tommy Lee Jones, who was in JFK with Kevin Bacon.
2. Javier Bardem was in Vicky Cristina Barcelona with Scarlett Johansson, who was in Lost in Translation with Bill Murray, who was in Wild Things with Kevin Bacon.
3. Javier Bardem was in Skyfall with Daniel Craig, who was in Road to Perdition with Tom Hanks, who was in Apollo 13 with Kevin Bacon.
There might be others, but those are just 3.
How about these: 1) Javier was in Eat Pray Love with Julia Roberts, who was in Flatliners with Kevin Bacon, and 2) Javier's co-star Nicole Kidman produced In The Cut, which starred Kevin Bacon.
@@debbiedoodiedandi I know that you're right on the first one, but I didn't know the second one, although, I don't know if you can use producers.
@@Mrmoviefan123 ok... how about Javier was in Collateral with Tom Cruise, who was in A Few Good Men with Kevin Bacon. Or Javier is in Dune with Josh Brolin, who was in Hollow Man with Kevin Bacon.
@@debbiedoodiedandi Better.
@@Mrmoviefan123 Javier was also in Mother! with Jennifer Lawrence, who was in X-Men: First Class with Kevin Bacon, which also starred Michael Fassbender, who was in the movie The Counselor with Javier Bardem.
He seems amazing! I am an even bigger fan now.
Great interview I believe in the spirits I know exactly what he's talking about
love love love Javier Bardem. since Jamon Jamon
The Passion that this Gentleman has Displayed are Uncanny to many degrees , forget about the cocaine .. 'No Country for Old Men' CLASSIC REPETITEUR Javier Bardem 🙏✅💯
Interesting that he mentions Pablo at the end...in Narcos, Wagner "Went There"...he inhabited the madness n brought it to the screen. Amazing, what actors do...so we can enjoy our popcorn 🍿
Amazing talent!
I would watch any movie with Javier Bardeen and Nicole Kidman. Even more so if it's covering such an iconic couple
