"I dont think they're so iconic"
Dude you literally played one of the greatest movie villains ever
"But that's what they asked him to say."
I love how when you say "one of the greatest movie villain ever", I think "Which one?". Truly iconic.
@@isaacgrajo1292 I was thinking about his performance in "No Country For Old Men", but you're right!
@@drummats6933 His villainous performance in Skyfall was truly mesmerizing. Definetely one of the best Bond villains of all time and my second favorite Bond villain in Daniel Craig's movie after Mads Mikkelsen's Le Chiffre
Even attempting to be humble is a good thing. Was he genuine ? I don't know he's an actor.
No country for old men is one of the best movie's ever made.
yep.
films*
just watched it not long ago, so good. didnt end the way i expected
I get paid to smoke weed on my CZcams channel lmao😅 The pandemicc showed alot of people you can’t rely on a 9-5 solely on its own👌💯you need other hustles
It was very good. Don't think it's one of the greatest though 😕
“We (Woody Harrelson and I) had a blast doing that scene.”
Yes, Woody’s character literally had a blast.
Eyyyyyyyy
searched for this one lol
That Suppresed shotgun was nasty...I want one! Ya know, to shoot watermelons and stuff 😄
I was wondering if Javier knew the pun he was making. If only he’d talked about how that air-powered bolt gun made a bigger impact for the film than the silenced shotgun. However I think he wanted to avoid hitting the nail on the head, when it comes to weapon related puns.
all jokes aside, woody harrelson's acting in that scene was amazing. especially the way he conveyed his character's fear through his unsteady breathing. just outstanding
"He comes, he destroys, and he disappears." Perfect description of the perfect villain. Even the ending shows it. Who knows where hes off next to simply destroy.
The world moves, despite morality.
Anton is kinda similar to Halloween's Michael Myers.
Wdym villain. thats what you call ABSOLUTE SIGMA MALE WITH THEIR HIGHLY CONDENSED GRINDSET.
@@santajimi meh not really
And then the Knight comes and puts his head on a stick
@@allaboutnothing6552 this is my favorite part of CZcams "discussions."
Poster one: I kinda sorta have this opinion.
Poster two: no, no you don't
All other posters: NANI??!!
Chigur is a lot like a vocal Michael Myers. He can't do anything but destroy. Rather, it's all he really wants to do. So he'll do it for a million bucks a hit or on a literal coin toss. But, rain or shine, October 31st or Cinco dey Mayo, he's gonna do it whether you want him to, whether he feels like it, and completely regardless of if he gets any fame, infamy, or any attention that lives to tell about it whatsoever.
I'd compare him to Heath Ledger's joker, or, ironically given the casting in both productions, Brolin's Thanos.
His performance as anton in no country for old men is just terrifying.
How much you ever lost on a coint toss?
@@chasehedges6775 10 million
so spot on.
This is what you get when an actor takes his job seriously. You can tell in his performance that he wanted absolutely nothing but the best for the audience.
Yeah I no I still have nightmares when I see him..🤣🤣🤣
Love how he gives credit to others whenever he can, very humble man
That struck me too. George Clooney does the same thing in his episode. Class acts.
Totally, it's such a team effort, and it's always awesome to see masterful actors like these guys reminding us of that, and the trust they place in the crew, the writer(s), the director etc.
i know this sounds cynical. he's on camera, you don't think you would consciously act a certain way if you were being interviewed on camera
standard Hollywood discourse. everyone is the best, everyone is beautiful, everyone is wonderful.
Watch it tho, he'll kill you
Scariest character ever. No makeup, no CGI, just a man.
What made it so scary is because these people really exist.
How awesome was the acting of the store owner in that scene? No one ever says that.
True that, wouldn't be surprised if that was the real owner of that gas station and he said he wanted a small cameo as part of his payment for letting them use his location lol👍
@@bluecollar825
He's a veteran actor. Been in other movies.
I was thinking that too. Whoever playing him was amazing as well. Entire movie was
@@bluecollar825 that was a known actor and a set.....................:..,
@@1234KeithB ty @handsome blackman corrected me already 👍
His role of Chigurh is unbeatable. As he said - he actually had to create this character on his own and he did his job 100%.

Javier Bardem as Silva is part of why Skyfall is still one of the best Bond that’s ever been made. A perfect, menacing weird villian
Skyfall was where I was introduced to Javier. He's an incredible actor.
And i can totally feel some sympathy for Silva because of his feud with the MI6 instead of the entire British goverment. He's the second best Bond villain in Craig's movie and one of the greatest Bond villains of all time
He was so good that I wished they left him alive for another movie or two.
The blonde look made him seem creepy to me.
Skyfall was the best of the Daniel Craig Bond films.
Best movie villain I've ever seen. NCFOM made me a lifetime fan of Javier.
Same here. I love him.
Joker. Dark knight.
If they ever make a movie of Blood Meridian, the Judge might be better. Just a matter of who would be cast.
watch more films
@@orangewarm1 tell us you’re pretentious without using those words.
Javier is an amazing actor, I would like to see him in more movies. Maybe on a Tarantino's
ooooh that'd be good!
or a Michael Mann's movie
@@warkopvalhalla708 he played a role in collateral
If he tried his hand at Gomez Addams would be great
It's actually kind of crazy that he hasn't been in a QT movie yet based on his love for the craft and the people he's worked with. He loves and respects good directors to the point where he would be golden putty in any capable hands.
When I saw No Country For Old Men with my dad I didn’t really know what to expect, except for the fact that they had a killer cast in it, and then once we got into it, I realized I had never watched anything with such a dark character. Truly personified that psychopathic individual that feels nothing for others.
What a deep thinker, amazing actor, and totally humble human being he is.
deep thinker? HAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAH
@@lplein8429 yep & something you’re definitely not, obviously.
@@angelotrinidad6888 just because he said hahaha?
@@sassymenses he said what?
@@angelotrinidad6888 obviously, you aren't a deep thinker either.
this man comments on what he believes is his "limited" english, while being one of the most articulate well spoken individuals i have the pleasure of listening to. bravo Javier bravo
Skyfall is arguably one of the best Bond movies ever and Bardem is a big reason why
Agreed. Along with Goldfinger, Goldeneye and Casino Royale.
I love actors like Javier who praise and show so much respect for their fellow actors and directors. He is such a kind person.
Love this guy, can’t wait to see more of him in Dune’s sequel
Oh,he is one of the underappreciated actors. He is amazing!
His performance in Mar Adentro “The Sea Inside” is one of the most touching performances I have seen.
Yes! The 'Flying Dream' sequence is one of the most gorgeous moments in movies that I have seen.
He delivers a great performance in a great film as well.
Yes!
A humble genius. He is a magnificent actor.
His performance as Anton Chigurh
and Raoul Silva automatically makes Javier one of the best antagonist actors in cinema history hands down 👏
Anton Chigurh Is definitely a top 10 all time movie villain and my personal favorite. Uniquely terrifying, amazing signature weapon (cattle gun), and has a larger than life feel... like the embodiment of fate, especially at it's most cruel. Absolutely no one could have done a better job than Javier.
He's regarded as the greatest psychopathic villain in the history of cinema... Anton chigurh is the most accurate and detailed psychopath according to some psychologists
The cattle gun and the silenced shotgun were both woah moments
Love this guy, so down to earth
👍👍💯💯
The Sea Inside is one of my favorite films of all time. Bardem's performance was pure genius. I also loved Monday's in the Sun which he didn't talk about here.
For me him playing Dezi Arnez in Being the Ricardos was iconic. Bardem finest role and he killed it .
I just watched that film recently, it was good. I watched a lot of I Love Lucy so I was kinda skeptical of him playing Ricky, but he played that role well. I was sucked into the film and enjoyed the story.
What a respectful and humble individual! Not to mention a very talented actor. 10/10
His range of accents is mind-blowing
I know it wasn't mentioned here. But his role in the new pirates of the caribbean was phenomenal. I forgot about all the movies flaws when he was on screen.
Psychiatrists have deemed his acting of Anton as the most realistic psychopath ever portrayed in film.
Top 10 most iconic characters ever.
It’s up there with Shawshank Redemption, Amalie, Ernest Saves Christmas and the Seven, as the best movie ever made.
The guy is so genuine. Thats why I love him.
He was so memorable in skyfall
what a humble man. he played homage to every single director that he works with and how amazing they all are. Not only do i enjoy all of his roles, but my respect for him has risen 100000%. Amazing guy. HOw he breaks down getting into each of these characters is amazing, his thought process. no wonder he is so good at his craft
Captain Salazar has to be one of the most iconic, his acting was beyond imagination
Really wish 'Mother!' was in here but this man is an amazing talent.
Me too, wish to know more details about his character
That was one of, if not, _the,_ worst film that I have ever seen. Truly awful.
@@Sulu-sw3zo and that's the great thing about it. The audience was completely split on it. You either love it or hate it.
@@VinnyChezni Yeah, me personally, I find it an absolute masterpiece with all its Christian allegory (even though I'm an atheist). Truly one of the greatest films of the 2010s.
@@Sulu-sw3zo Thank you! I found it unbearable.
Skyfall, Dune, No Country for Old Men, Collateral and Eat Pray Love are my favorite movies of Javier and one of the actors that I do love so much
Vicky Christina Barcelona, Pirates of the Caribbean, Mother!. I'm surprised not too many people talk about his performance in Vicky Christina Barcelona because his wife, Penelope Cruz stole the show, he did fantastic job in that movie. When he speaks spanish, it's like listening to good old music
he reminds me of raul julia in more than one way: total ownership of scenes, acting even when not delivering lines, and portraying unforgettable characters
Javier Bardem plays the best villain!! In Collateral, in No country for old men, in Skyfall, etc. But, also the best lover. In the year after he made No country for old men, he played a passionate lover in Vicky, Christina, Barcelona. Doesn't matter what he's in, you know he will deliver!
This guy is a treasure. Protect him at all costs
Javier Bardem as Anton in No Country for Old Men is one of the best performances of all time.
"No Country For Old Men" really is fantastic indeed. It's about the justice and the injustice of existence, it's against old men saying "everything was better in the past", it's brutally realistic, it's oscar winning, it has Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem (Anton Chigurh is the greatest villain in modern cinema), Woody Harrelson, Roger Deakins for cinematography and the Coen Brothers directing. It's just incredible.
I will watch any film he is in. He is that good, that versatile, in my opinion. Uxbal may be my favorite character in cinema, and the story puts him in the most ethically challenging situations. Bardem's facial expressions are a script of their own--the feelings that his face conveys, the emotional range, the subtle changes in mood. They can't be taught.
He will forever be Stilgar. He fits the character so so well
Javier is truly an underrated actor. He just gives it his all.
I don't think he's underrated. He's an A lister, won an Oscar, played one of the best Bond villains of all time, he got enough recognition
@@BryanCostner only one oscar?
@@cybredeux yeah only one Oscar for playing one of the greatest villains in cinema history
He got an oscar I think he's well recognized. But certainly there are worse actors who may have made more money
@@jdt8983 I mostly mean role wise he hasn't gotten as much praise as he deserves
"No Country For Old Men" is a great film. I Have the DVD, watched it again the other day! One other role of Javier that was missing here, was the small bit it "Collateral" I love his "Little burro" story. He's playing a ruthless crime boss.. but when you hear him speak he makes you "like" his personality. Great performance!! 👍👍👍
What a great speaker, I love the way he talks about these projects and what he chooses to talk about. Excited to check out a few of these, too
He comes across as refreshingly humble and self-aware. His experience with "The Sea Inside" reminds me of how James Caan once described acting in "Misery."
I'm so happy to see this! Javier Bardem is amazing, but so shy and humble also. He's played some of my favorite villains!
his character in no country for old men still gives me chills, one heck of an amazing performance
Could he be any more humble? It's so genuine, too. I bet he's surrounded by so many loving people in his life because that's why his energy brings in
Bardem is the greatest Spanish actor of our times. I had the pleasure of meeting him many years ago at the Hollywood debut of "Before Nightfall", where he played the role of Reynaldo Arenas and perfectly captured the Cuban accent of the character
This man is one of the best actors the word have ever seen
Him having such a strong accent in reality makes his transformation into Anton that much more impressive. Phenomenal actor.
What a charismatic guy.
I love how clean he pronounces his name
No Country for Old Men and There Will be Blood might be two of the best movies ever made that happened to be in theaters at the same time
I could watch No Country over and over and NEVER get tired of it.
Its always so suspenseful, also you learn new details every time
There is sooo much details in this movie, if you didnt have any part in making it, there is no way you can catch it all in just one and your first watch.
He’s seriously gonna go down as one of the best actors ever!
He’s NEVER less than great!!!
it's amazing how he could perfect his character's accent, the behaviour and small details. A real artist and professional actor who embodies his role
I was so glad to hear him talk about Biutiful, I feel like nobody ever talks about this film and I love his portrayal.
I have been extremely sick and bedridden for a few years at a time. And listening to what he says about it is exactly the experience!
You feel trapped, you almost go insane!
He is such a good person. Listening to him is so true to life, it is so relatable!
Fantastic actor and man! Love his dearly.
This is the first GQ interview where the actor actually compelled me to watch a movie in another language.
Thank you Mr. Sugar😊
Mr. Bardem is a fantastic actor. One of the contemporary best. Everything he is in that I have watched has been fantastic.
What a legend...with so much more time and talent to give.
Javier Bardem is such a wonderful human being not only is he an amazing actor but he also has a huge amount of empathy for other people and he is very humble .It is an absolute joy to watch him in any film that he is in
they didnt even ask him about his main iconic role of "Romeo" in The movie Perdita Durango. Peak Javier acting
He’s a fantastic actor. Call It.
Javier Bardem in No Country for Old men is one of the best performances of all time.
He could say that he hasn't had an iconic role, but Anton is still today one of the best depictions of a psychopath ever played. He's also still one of the best villains every played. He should really be proud of that. Its not often that the antagonist outshines the protagonist.
Just listening to his voice can make me trembling
Although it’s not discussed in this interview I think one of his most memorable roles was as the Cartel contact in Collateral. He is only on screen for a few minutes, but he’s clearly the stand out actor in that movie.
Yes! I saw another one of these charachter recaps of Javier and they also missed that one. Collateral is a fun enough movie but that small role of his is my favorite part of it.
I don’t like action movies (generally), but I wonder if someone has posted his scene somewhere so I don’t need to sit through the whole film to see it, lol!
@@ZZBoomslang you should give it a try, it's one of the greatest movies out there.
@@lucianaromulus1408 I'm usually not a Tom Cruise fan, but watched Javier's scene shortly after I posted this comment and it was great, so maybe I'll give the rest a watch.
@@ZZBoomslang if you hate it you could always turn it off lol but I swear its fantastic 👌
He so deserved the Oscar for No Country
This man is a brilliant actor..I watched No Country few days ago and man he has done a brilliant job... ❤️
The Boss! Javier Bardem. What an icon.
most people only recognize him as Anton Chigurh, but if you haven't seen Biutiful, you are missing out on his deepest performance
Absolutely loved him in No country for old men. Incredible performance.
That scene at the gas station must be the scariest thing I’ve seen in a long time. Great actor and great writing.
True definition of a great actor ..
I wonder why at 0:07 the person who send him the Dune 2 message was bleeped, maybe he accidentally revealed the name of a new cast member. Feyd-Rautha or the Imperator maybe?
I imagine that he is talking about Josh Brolin, but I ain’t sure
@@danielhaccou9902 Actually, I read at Indiewire today that he ment as you said Josh Brolin! So, I'm sorry for the false alarm😅!
It was Josh Brolin! He’s said it in other interviews
"You stand to win everything" hits on so many levels
Love how he compliments and recognizes the ppl he works with
Its adorable seeing the actors make sure we know THEY dont think theyre iconic, its just what theyre supposed to say. The humility itself is iconic 😂
His accent is iconic to me.
I'd watch Javier open an envelope - what a superb artist : - )
I mean, watching anyone open an enveloppe on screen, especially with one of those mini knife things is just nice to look at
'Before Night Falls' was my introduction to the magnificent Javier Bardem. I still remember seeing that movie back in 1999 and it truly opened up my eyes to so many things.
What a brilliant actor , he’s so passionate about doing his Job and doing it Well .
No country my fav film
im biased but anton is one of my favorite movie characters of all time, too underrated
The Cohen brothers can come up with some crazy dialogue that you learn to love.
His character in No Country For Old Man was one of the greatest villains and iconic characters ever!
I love his villain character in the James Bond film Skyfall
No country for old men is one of the greatest films ever made. His portrayal of Anton Sugar was ICONIC
Such a great actor, and such a humble man too. Big respect for Javier.
I saw "Before night falls" and fell in love with Bardem. It was brilliantly acted and a beautiful, but stark film. I have loved Bardem ever since, and his craft has only gotten better with time, if that was even possible.
I am surised “Salazar” wasn’t mentioned as one of his most Iconic characters in Pirate of The Caribbean Dead men tell no tales 🏴☠️
Right!
No Country For Old Men is one of the greatest movies ever made with little to no dialogue at times very clever movie and brilliant performance by Javier Bardem
It makes a special talent and genius act to create a villain who is not hated, but adorable! Amazing job, Javier!!
Awesome actor! Everything he plays in makes it that much better!
*Javier Bardem is a G.O.A.T*
imo, I have a bachelors degree on clinical psychology, he described psychopath so precise, well and fast that made me understand now why his performance is considered the most accurate one ever according to some about it, great job!
My Favorite Javier Bardem Movies: Vicki Cristina Barcelona, Skyfall.
This is a testment to how this man is a brilliant actor. You can tell by the video that he is very humble and a very positive person, although his villain character in No country for old men was absolutely terrifying! Great episode, GQ!
