The 43-year-old portrays the role of Raoul Silva in the latest instalment "Skyfall", and he said that it was his childhood dream to star in the British spy series.
Oscar-winner Javier Bardem says he
never believed he would star in a James Bond.
The 43-year-old portrays the role of Raoul Silva in the
latest instalment "Skyfall", and he said that it was his
childhood dream to star in the British spy series, reported
Sun online.
"I'm a huge fan of the James Bond saga, so I was always
very open to the idea. When I was little I watched Mr Connery
doing James Bond with my father. Who in the world would think
I'd be in one of those movies?" he said.
Bardem, who has previously won an Oscar for his role in
"No Country for Old Men", was even allowed to have an
influence on the character as director Sam Mendes was so keen
to have him play the part.
"The script was everything you could expect in James Bond
films, and in addition it was a powerful and complex story.
Sam had changed the whole dynamic of the baddie role, so Silva
is not just a villain in the usual and obvious way," he added.
