If Brad Pitt has a fan in this world, it's fellow actor and Hollywood hunk Javier Bardem. In a recent interview to promote his upcoming film, "Dune: Part Two," Bardem also touched on his other projects, including the untitled Formula 1 movie he's still filming with Pitt. The film, which Pitt is producing, was an opportunity for Bardem to learn more about the actor he's admired for a long time.
"I knew him a little bit, but not much," he told WIRED of his previous interactions with Pitt. "I grew up watching [him], and I think he’s an amazing actor. We had so much fun.
He’s so open, he’s so in the game. He doesn’t care. He is like, ‘Bring it on.' "We played tennis, and it was fantastic," Bardem added of Pitt, who recently celebrated his 60th birthday.
"I mean, he’s 60 years old, and you cannot believe it. He’s handsome, but he’s more. Of course he’s handsome, but it’s about — well, you know what it is? It’s the energy," Bardem, 54, added.
"The behavior, the action, the feeling, the vibe. He comes to a set, and everybody’s comfortable. He made me feel relaxed, like, in a second." Bardem is not the first of Pitt's co-stars to sing his praises.
Last year, Li Jun Li, who worked alongside Pitt and Margot Robbie on the film "Babylon" told Fox News Digital he was "amazing to work with." "He is extremely funny. He is so nice, and he is just as handsome in person as you see him on screen." Bardem also spoke about working with "Dune" co-stars Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Florence Pugh and Austin Butler. "With Timothée, Zendaya, Florence and Austin, I was always a spectator of their beautiful energy, of their beautiful commitment, of the way they were bonding with each other through their joy," he told the outlet.
