JAVIER BARDEM ADMIRES MOVIE PORTRAIT

Spanish star Javier Bardem plays a monk during the Spanish inquisition in the film Goya’s Ghosts where the fashion of the time was to have your portrait painted by the great artist Francisco de Goya.

Javier was so taken with his portrait he wanted to snag it from the set.

“The real one. He was so good that he only did it with a photograph of mine. But he did a great job I thought. Basically you remind me that I want that portrait. Where is it? I should ask for it. I want to put it in my room because I’m so self-centered, I’m so narcissistic that I want to wake up and see myself. On the ceiling so that I could pray to him, to myself. Oh my God that’s so disgusting.”

The film is an epic directed by Milos Forman where Bardem is denounced by the Catholic Church and becomes a revolutionary.

“The revolutionary wardrobe was beautiful; those swords and those riding boots but someone was always looking after them so I could not steal them.”

Javier will be on his best behavior for his next film directed by Woody Allen currently filming in his hometown of Spain in Barcelona.
