In a recent interview with The Wired, Javier Bardem openly expressed a fantasy involving Brad Pitt.
Talking about his career and personal interests, Bardem shared his interest in exploring different genres, particularly romantic comedies. It was during this conversation that Bardem confessed his fantasy of starring alongside Brad Pitt in such a movie. The actor humorously suggested that if he were to play an F1 driver who finds love, Pitt would be his ideal love interest:
“I would love to do a romantic comedy. Exactly. And he’s Brad Pitt!”
Bardem and Pitt Work Together in the Set
Bardem also talked about his experience working with Pitt on an untitled Formula 1 project. Despite his initial lack of interest in Formula 1 racing, the script’s focus on the human elements and the pressures faced by drivers led him to appreciate the sport, especially after witnessing Pitt’s talented portrayal of an F1 driver firsthand.
In the interview, Bardem praised Pitt for his openness and positive energy on set, as they were factors that greatly contributed to a comfortable and enjoyable working environment. Reflecting on their time together, Bardem noted:
“I knew him a little bit, but not much. 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.”
The actor then expressed his admiration for Pitt’s personality, charismatic energy, and approachability:
“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. 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.”
After his recent appearance in ‘Dune: Part Two,’ Bardem is set to star in ‘Bride of Frankenstein,‘ the Untitled Formula One Racing Movie that we mentioned, and Spellbound. Pitt, on the other hand, has a busy schedule with eight upcoming projects.
