He can easily do without the royal family: the Spanish actor Javier Bardem is a convinced Republican.
Hollywood star Javier Bardem continues to advocate for the abolition of the monarchy in his native Spain. “For me, kings can only exist in fiction,” said the 54-year-old in an interview with the Spanish newspaper “El País”.
The Oscar winner plays a king in his new film The Little Mermaid. He was therefore asked by “El País” if he was King Felipe VI. can now “understand” better or have changed his previous opinion somewhat. “Not at all. Long live the Republic!”, replied the actor (“Skyfall”, “Pirates of the Caribbean”).
The Spaniard, who is sympathetic to the political left and is married to film star Penélope Cruz and has two children, said there was a scene in “The Little Mermaid” in which the king is cleaning the seabed with his daughters. “I suggested that.”
Bardem received the 2008 Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role as a hit man in “No Country for Old Men”. This year, at the San Sebastián Film Festival in September, he will receive the honorary award “Donostia”, an award for his entire career.
