Javier Ángel Encinas Bardem Wiki Biography

Javier Ángel Encinas Bardem was born on the 1st March 1969, in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain and is an awarded actor widely known for his roles in numerous blockbusters including “Before Night Falls” (2000), “Mondays in the Sun” (2002), “No Country for Old Men” (2007) “Biutiful” (2010) as well as 2012 James Bond adventure – “Skyfall”.

Have you ever wondered how much wealth this talented artist has accumulated so far? How rich Javier Bardem is? According to sources, it is estimated that the total amount of Javier Bardem’s net worth, as of mid-2016, is $20 million, acquired throughout his acting career that has been active since 1990.

Javier Bardem was raised by his mother who was also an actress, Maria del Pilar Bardem after she divorced from his father, José Carlos Encinas Doussinague, an environmentalist businessman. Javier is not the first actor within the family – he is a descendant of a generation of actors and movie makers, his grandparents Matilde Muñoz Sampedro and Rafael Bardem Solé were both actors and his uncle Juan Antonio Bardem is a director and screenwriter. Javier Bardem’s older siblings, Mónica and Carlos are both actors, but with more modest careers than his.

Although he grew up among the actors and spent plenty of spare time as a kid in various theaters and on sets, and even played a small role in the 1974 TV series “El pícaro” as a six-year-old, Javier Bardem wasn’t into acting at all. He played rugby for the junior Spanish National Team, before enrolling in college where he dedicated himself to studying his first love – painting. However, during four years at Escuela de Artes y Oficios in Madrid, he landed several acting projects in order to support his studies. As he confessed many years later, he also worked as a stripper, although for one single day only.

At the age of 20, Javier Bardem got his first “real acting” role, in Bigas Luna’s 1990 erotic drama – “The Ages of Lulu”. The director recognized his talent and gave him the leading male role in his next movie, the 1992 black comedy “Jamón Jamón” in which he starred opposite young Penélope Cruz. The movie was a notable international success, and Javier Bardem continued collaboration with Bigas Luna in 1993 “Golden Balls”. These engagements helped Javier to enter into the acting world, and establish himself as a competent actor who later gathered quite a remarkable net worth.

After several years and a dozen movies later, in 1997 Javier Bardem got his first non-Spanish-speaking role in the horror movie “Perdita Durango” (or “Dance with the Devil” in the USA). The real breakthrough in Javier Bardem’s career came in 2000, with Julian Schnabel’s drama “Before Night Falls” in which he starred as Reinaldo Arenas opposite Sean Penn and Johnny Depp. The latter appearance, besides earning him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor, also added a significant sum to Javier Bardem’s overall net worth.

Before winning the Venice Film Festival’s Best Actor award for his performance in the 2004 drama “Mar Adentro” (“The Sea Inside” in the states), Javier Bardem played the main character in John Malkovich’s debut as a director – “The Dancer Upstairs” (2002). Two years later, Javier Bardem made his Hollywood debut with a side role in “Collateral” (2004). In 2007, Javier appeared in the Coen Brothers’ “No Country for Old Man” as well as in the “Love in the Time of Cholera”. These involvements dramatically increased Javier Bardem’s fame as well as his wealth.

In 2008, Javier Bardem starred alongside Penélope Cruz and Scarlett Johansson in Woody Allen’s romantic drama “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” before winning the Goya Award for Best Actor for the 2010 drama “Biutiful”. Javier also played Mr. Bond’s arch enemy in 2012 “Skyfall”, as well as the rich and arrogant businessman in Ridley Scott’s crime drama “The Counselor” (2013), with Michael Fassbender, Brad Pitt, Penélope Cruz and Cameron Diaz. The most recent Javier Bardem acting engagement is the action thriller “The Gunman” featuring Sean Penn in the leading role. All these ventures have made a huge, positive impact on Javier Bardem’s net worth.

In his acting career so far, Javier Bardem has appeared in almost 40 movies, and been rewarded five Goyas, an Oscar, BAFTA and Academy Awards as well as Golden Globe and SAG Awards. He has also been honored with a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame, in 2012.

When it comes to his personal life, Javier Bardem has been married to Penélope Cruz since 2010. They began dating in 2007 during filming “Vicky Cristina Barcelona”, but managed to keep their relationship low profile before the wedding in The Bahamas. The couple has two children.

Javier Ángel Encinas Bardem Quotes

• I had the amazing opportunity to meet Brad Pitt a couple of times. What a beauty. He is beautiful and his physicality is so amazing to see. But the beauty really comes from different places – the way he talks, the way he’s interested in what you’re saying. And that body is like – wow! It’s amazing, no? He really made me feel very, like… I don’t know, like, I could fall in love with him!
• [on being a temporary stripper] I danced one night in a place, there was a club. And they asked for a guy to kind of make a striptease and I did it… It was for ten minutes. I needed money. My mother was there in the audience. She was so proud.
• [on Biutiful (2010)] It’s like a Francis Bacon painting. It’s ugly. Some people can’t take it. But some people can stay still, look at the picture, and see the hope, the compassion, the love behind the horror.
• Sometimes I say to myself, “What are you doing in this absurd job? Why don’t you go to Africa and help people?” But I cannot help people because I’m a hypochondriac.
• I do respect people’s faith, but I don’t respect their manipulation of that faith to create fear and control.
• Everybody in Spain is sick of me. But in America, there’s a curiosity about the new kid on the block who doesn’t speak English very well. The attention makes me feel vulnerable, which is something I hadn’t felt in a while. But I like it.
• [on how has fame changed his life] Mostly, it’s the same. I put on a hat and dark glasses and I can walk anywhere. But there are still questions which invade your privacy. I don’t really know why people need to know personal details about other people’s lives. It’s out of control. For a lot of people, the press is now the enemy.
• I like to take a year off between films. Some actors need to work for the money, but money is not a priority for me. I don’t have the need for a lot of cars or houses. Since I am a tomato in the market, I have a price. They have to pay the price, but money is not my biggest priority.
• I always say “I don’t believe in God, I believe in Al Pacino” – and that’s true. If I ever get a phone call saying “Would you like to work with Pacino?” I would go crazy.
• [on any concern he may have with being typecast] I’m not worried. I always try different things. My dream would be, when I’m old, to put all my characters in a room and realize that they can’t talk to each other because they don’t have anything to share.
• [on his preference between playing a villain or a romantic lead] I try to taste both of them with the same intensity. If you’re playing a bad guy whose mind is broken, you have to get in there and find out what triggers those feelings. And once you’re on the other side, you have to take that and throw it away. Somebody said “The difference between an artist and a person that’s crazy is that the artist has a two-way ticket and the crazy person only has a one-way.”.
• I truly consider myself non-sexy, which is fine for me. I don’t have any problem with that. Sometimes I would like to have Brad Pitt’s body. But that’s not something that obsesses me in a real way. And second, I truly believe that what I would like to portray on-screen or on stage are human beings, and human beings usually are not as handsome as movie stars. But most times being handsome on-screen or being handsome for real life, has to do much more with your vanity and your profound need to be liked by the rest of the people, be loved by the rest of the people.
• When the Coens called [about casting him in No Country for Old Men (2007)], I said, “Listen, I’m the wrong actor. I don’t drive, I speak bad English, and I hate violence.” They laughed and said, “Maybe that’s why we called you.”.
• The only thing I can do is act, but it’s not something I even feel comfortable doing. It costs me a lot, because I’m a shy person, even if I don’t look it.
• We actors always say how difficult and physically demanding a role was. But give me a break, it’s only a movie.
• What does my performance have to do with Russell Crowe’s? Nothing. If I play Gladiator (2000) and we all play “Gladiator” with Ridley Scott in the same amount of time, maybe we have a chance to see who did it best.
• All of the good movies are based on how that story was told. And you cannot do it with a bad script, that’s for sure, no matter who.
• [on working with Alejandro Amenábar again] I wish I could work with him again. He’s so secret. He doesn’t even tell me and I go, “Give me a break, man. Give me a role.” He works secretly. I guess he will be shooting soon. I hope so, because he’s amazing.
• [on his character of Chigurh in No Country for Old Men (2007)] All the work I usually do: imagining the past, the circumstances of the character in this case I didn’t do it. We all saw him as a force of nature, the embodiment of violence.
• I’m getting more comfortable now, but it will never get to the point as if you are doing it in your own language. When I say, “I love you” or “I hate you” in Spanish, many things come to my mind, aspects of my own life. When I say it in English, I don’t have the memories.
• [on No Country for Old Men (2007)] I think the movie speaks of a lack of meaning in violence. I embody violence, I am violence itself in the movie, and there is a man… who is trying to understand the meaning of it and at the end there is no meaning.
• I’m proud of the fact that I got so many people to sit down and watch a story like Before Night Falls (2000) even at the expense, I felt, of some of my personal life.
• [on his Oscar nomination for Before Night Falls (2000)] It’s exhausting, almost a full-time job. Last time I found it was too much about bringing attention to yourself.
• It would be amazing to think your film or your performance had the power to make changes, but it’s enough that it makes people talk and think. Maybe they shouldn’t do anything anyway. The Church has strong feelings and we respect that.
• We are so scared about talking about death that we are letting people die in silence. It is good to talk publicly.
• I live in Spain. Oscars are something that are on television Sunday night, basically, very late at night. You don’t watch, you just read the news after to see who won or who lost… The award is important in order to bring people to the movie theater. That’s the only principal meaning of any award.
• [on his girlfriend Cristina, who is a translator and coaching him in English] I’m in love with my English teacher. We have many of our lessons in bed.
• One of my dreams came true when [Julian Schnabel] showed the movie [Before Night Falls (2000)] to Al Pacino and he called me at 3 a.m. Spanish time and told me he liked my performance. I told him, “There are two things I believe in, God and Al Pacino” [Bardem has, himself, corrected this statements saying “I always said that I don’t believe in God, I believe in Al Pacino”]
