born in canar island in Las Palmas my parents moved to Madrid and I consider myself madeno from Madrid yeah and I love Madrid it's a great City how did about them learn English I learn English by listening music by listening ACDC and trying to understand what they were saying and of course I learned how to curse in English and I learned the bad words and I still love those lyrics I guess now it's easier to act in English than it was like say let's say 15 years ago but still it's always it's always demanding and it's always hard to let yourself go I still have to work a lot in order to feel comfortable with the lines when I work in Spanish I can't let myself go at the same time in a way I'm less shy in English than in Spanish because I have less attachment to it so I can jump off a cliff with the English because I don't have memories in English it's not like when you speak your own language or your mother tongue where everything is related to an emotion why does H them not drive I don't know because i' I've always lived in the in the city and I've always used the buses and the underground mostly I walk I like walking but still I can drive in movies if they give me the a car with two weeks in advance I can learn how to drive in a movie without killing anybody them how to pronounce ah you can pronounce whatever the hell you want it I mean it's okay they call me everything you can imagine some people call me cavar Bon what about that byebye okay what does do do what do where do when I'm an actor that's all the only thing I can do and I almost not don't know how to do it what was har Barden first movie wow very first movie I was 6 years old and it was called el picaro and it was playing someone that I was uh stolen and the kid who was going to play the role didn't go to the set for whatever reason and my mom said I'll bring my kid and then I was there and I was supposed to laugh but I cried and the director said okay he's a dramatic actor it's okay about them I would say that's the first movie that I did where I had a very important role to play I was 21 and is the first movie that my actual wife did P she was 16 and that's when we met and it was a very important movie for many reasons because of the movie and what the movie meant for both of us and how helped our careers and also because we met and the director bigas Luna is my mentor it's a person that I will always adore and worship for the chance that he gave us and I always call him Papa bigas and uh God bless him I love him hi are them best movies I don't know I don't know I mean it depends on on so many things some people may like one and may hate the other it's hard to make a good movie Doom part two I have to say and yes I'm promoting it but it's not because I'm promoting it Doom part two it's a great movie and it happens that I'm in it but it's a it's a fantastic piece of work of so many people but especially by denivan throw the board okay Jesus say my name out loud it's czy a nice guy I can be a nice guy and I can be an absolutely I can be a tough one I can be loving I can be many things I'm a human being I try to do my best the ultimate uh goal is to teach my children how to be a good people and for that you have to really show them the example of it so I try that's how about them play piano no look at my fingers no no no no I play drums I like playing drums I like the Beats I like I like the conas and the Bongos I'm not a good drummer but I like playing drums then collateral yeah that was my first big movie My Scene was with Jamie Fox sitting down at the table I have to make this little speech and it was very intimidating to be in such a big set with such a big star and also directed by Michael man but Michael man made it a beautiful experience I have to say because he was so much focused on every detail of the performance that made me feel like wow I'm in such a great hands he loves acting he loves performances and he really takes the time to make sure that the actor is giving what he needs but also what the actor needs to express so it was a great experience and I love the movie I about them education I studed in Spain I didn't go to university I went to arst Yos which is like B Arts where I was painting and doing sculptures and doing drawing which I like very much I mean I kind of move away from it and if you don't practice daily you lose it but I love it and Oscar yeah I think so yeah yeah I did I was there I saw it with my own eyes it was a great moment I loved it of course and it was a great honor but I like the most that my mother was there for me to be able to say thank you and the reason why I was there that night on that stage it was because of her and her parents who both were actors my grandparents and because of their sacrifice I was able to be there on that stage does har sing and dance yes L like crocodile it's a great movie where I have the chance to dance and sing and I have the fun of my life I learned magic in that movie I was doing my magic trick but I'm so clumsy that we have to repeat several times and in the you say bloopers the bloopers yeah you can see all my mistakes and it's fun blooper how them call it it's funny because reading the the book first kma McCarthy and then the script of No Country for all men I didn't get the thing of call it because the literal translation will be jamalo what does it mean when you say when you say call it it doesn't doesn't make any sense even though when I'm when I was shooting it I knew what it meant but still I will do it kind of not owning the whole meaning of it and I guess that helped for the lack of sentiment or emotion into the colet line there was one day that I went to a gas station near Vegas and the guy looked at me like very scared said I don't know I'm only an actor I'm fine I don't have any coins on my pocket how about them Dune character steel guard when I read Dune back when I was 25 the character I Lov the most he was Steeler so when Den banv called me and said I have a role for you and he was explaining me the role and until the end of conversation he said you know his name and I said yes he's a stear and I can't believe that you're offering me that it's an absolute gift and it's a Dream It's a dream to be able to work with this amazing cast in such an Epic movie directed by danif playing a role that you kind of dream with it when you were younger thank you her no country well the coins brought this picture from a brothel in the 60s in the border with Texas of a guy having a drink with that haircut and Paul the hairdresser did like boom and he show up in 10 minutes in front of me in the mirror they were laughing their asses off and I was very worried like really do I have to wear this for the next 3 months butth it was genius it was genius that such a maniac like Anon suar had that haircut and that's the Magic Touch of Paul her dresser B also of the coins they know that there's something very uncomfortable and funny in that UNS scary spooky Bon vill having a chance to work with Daniel he was I adore him he's so funny and such a great colleague and an amazing actor and Sam Mendes and Barbara broccoli and the whole team we had fun Sam Mendes invited me to the party and he told me okay let's build up this character from the ground up what can we find that has not been done yet in some way and we were like okay we have to make bomb physically uncomfortable and let's create this character where he's very unreadable you cannot read him we thought of him like he had many operations because of the siner and the CET and and we put some Stripes behind the the hairline so it was all the time with a face like this and it was very uncomfortable to be like that the whole day but it helped to give a very strange look them fun facts I like painting I like I like playing rugby I can't play anymore but I played rugby for 19 years and I love it I just was uh last year in the Rugby World Championship in Paris it's one of my passions Happ about them and Julia Roberts movie it pray love and again it was one of the first times where I have the chance to work with with such a big star and uh and I was very nervous she was so collaborative she was so helpful so generous so fun to work with an amazing actress you you will start doing the scene with Julia and she will get into a emotional state like in a like within a second and you go like oh that took me off guard okay and then she will get out of it and she will keep being the nice woman that she is and then she will come back into it and being in the drama it was amazing to see that unfolding in front of your eyes and I was in B which is a paradise how about them romance movies I don't have many romance movies e pray love big Christina Barcelona crazy movie that's it romance I I wish I I would do more would you do a romantic comedy oh yeah yeah yeah yeah of course right now I mean it has to be good it has to be good in the sense that it makes sense for me to be there otherwise it will be ridiculous how about them rugby okay I talk about it I play rugby since I was 9 years old until I was 25 I play in the national team in Spain and I loved it it taught me a lot about movie making because rugby is a sport word there are 15 players and no one is is a star it's not like soccer football where you have amazing stars like Messi or Ronaldo in rugby there is not such a thing there are great players but you have to play your note you cannot play any Symphony and that's what movie making is you are part of a of a team and you have to do your thing no more nor less I was taught uh that by playing rugby for so many years about them Little Mermaid I love Rob Marshall I know him since a long time ago and I wanted to work with him so badly and then I texted him saying I I heard you're doing Little Mermaid and if there's a chance that King Trion speaks with a foreign language I would love to and he said I'm shopping in the grocery store and I was thinking about texting you to ask you if you wanted to do it and I was like wow then I went to my daughter which at the time was eight and I said I may do The Little Mermaid and she looked at me almost crying and asked me are you playing Ariel said no thank God no and it's a movie that I'm very proud of and it's a beautiful movie and and and everybody again working with Ron Marshall it's like with theil you are in the hands of great people great human beings doing amazing work so it's it's it's a loving experience happy about then last one today today I'm promoting dun part two and you should watch this movie on a big screen because it's a masterpiece it's everything that you expect for a movie like this and way more and today I have the luxury and the gift of working with directors like D and it's something that I would have I would have never dreamed of like years ago bye-bye Google them I haven't se my name so many times in a row that that's the most Google I've done of myself [Music] ever
