He can't be bargained with, he can't be reasoned with, he absolutely feels no pity. Wait, what? Which movie are we talking about?

The fact that there is no Captain Armando Salazar in this is actually in the front to the artistic medium of Cinema itself frfrfr

Tremendo Bardem.
Como buen Gallego y Barbanzano para mi, este es el papel que mas me impresiono.

He was great in Collateral! One of the best movies ever. Including Tom Cruises best.

I think his role in Skyfall was the scariest. I was fully grown up when I saw the movie and I wanted to watch him through my fingers, and even listen to him through my fingers. He should never have existed. Brrr.

I really believe he underplays how much he got into the mind of a psychopath like Chigurh. What makes him so convincing to me isn't his voice, his tone, or even his facial expressions. He has the look of a psychopath and its in his eyes. Flat, dead eyes, like a shark's. Through the entire movie it just looks like he's dead inside and it's how he's able to accomplish such detached and mechanical, deadly presence.
This is the most I've ever seen him discuss the mindset. Acting as if something superior and of a higher order was channeling itself through him is disturbing and illuminating and explains how he embodied fate and death. Still there's just something else extremely unsettling about his performance and I wouldn't be surprised if he somehow turned out to be an actual psychopath–it was that convincing.

Surprised me by omitting “Dancer Upstairs”. I always thought this would be among his top three.

8:20 Him saying all this after playing the scene of him talking about Johnny Depp’s character’s “magnificent organ” sounds wild.

Love that Johnny Depp is mentioned, both him and Javier Bardem are some of the sexiest men alive ever. Adore what Javier is wearing here and his hair. One of my fave GQ’s interviews ever! What a career timeline. 😍🥰😘 🎞️ 🎭 🎥 🎬🌟 ✨ 🤩 🥵 🤤 👑 💎 ⚜️ 🏆 🇪🇸

One of the most talented artist ever! I've seen Before Night Falls, his first english movie, he's terrific!

Before Night Falls is a masterpiece and Javier’s best in my opinion.
