Film: Javier Bardems: daughter was shocked by the “Arielle” role

When he told his daughter that he was in the current “Arielle” film adaptation, she started crying, says the actor. But he could calm her down.

Desperation instead of enthusiasm: According to the Hollywood star, the fact that Javier Bardem (54) is playing in the current “Arielle” film initially caused shock reactions at home. When he told his then seven-year-old daughter Luna that he was in the film, she replied, “What? You’re playing Ariel?” Then she cried, he said in an interview with the Funke media group. Only when he explained to her that he was playing the mermaid’s father did she calm down and say: “Wow”.

But something else made the Oscar winner ponder the role. “My upper body. This king has an enormous physique. And I thought to myself: damn, I have to do a lot of units in the gym for that now.” Fortunately, the director told him: “You’ll get armor, you don’t need it.”

Director Rob Marshall’s The Little Mermaid, The Little Mermaid, opens in cinemas this Thursday (May 25). The Spaniard Bardem plays King Triton, Ariel’s father.
