The Oscar winner, 57, was speaking on Sunday alongside director Rodrigo Sorogoyen for the premiere of The Beloved, a psychological drama where he plays Esteban Martinez, a renowned filmmaker trying to reconnect with his daughter after years of absence.<\/p>\n
Asked about recurring themes of absent fathers and damaged masculinity in films screening at this year\u2019s festival, he spoke about violence against women and what he described as \u201ca culture of toxic masculinity\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m 57 years old, coming from a very machista country called Spain, where there is an average of two women killed monthly by their ex-husbands or ex-boyfriends, which is horrible,\u201d he said, according to Deadline.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust that amount of women being murdered, it\u2019s unbelievable. And we kind of normalised it. It\u2019s like, \u2018Well, yeah, it\u2019s horrible.\u2019 I mean, are we f***ing nuts? We are killing women because some men think they own them, they possess them.\u201d<\/p>\n
He continued by naming the leaders of America, Russia and Israel. \u201cThat problem also goes to Mr Trump and Mr Putin and Mr Netanyahu, the big balls man saying, \u2018My c*** is bigger than yours and I\u2019m gonna bomb the s*** out of you,\u2019\u201d Bardem claimed.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a f***ing male toxic behaviour that is creating thousands of dead people, so yeah, we have to talk about it. And I think we are talking about it. We are more aware of it, thankfully, because maybe 20 years ago, this was something that nobody would pay attention as a problem, and I think this movie speaks about that.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Spanish actor, among the most vocal celebrities speaking against the Israeli war on Gaza, also admitted to fearing retaliation over his outspoken political views.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe fear does exist,\u201d he was quoted as saying by Deadline. \u201cGranted that one has to do things, even if you feel a bit scared or afraid. You have to be able to look at yourself in the mirror and look at yourself in the eyes, and that was my case. My mother taught me to be the way I am.\u201d<\/p>\n
At the 2026 Oscars this March, Bardem wore an anti-war patch and a pro-Palestine pin on his suit.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo to war and free Palestine,\u201d he said, before presenting the award for the best international film.<\/p>\n
He suggested to The Independent on the red carpet at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party that people in Hollywood were too \u201ccomfortable\u201d to speak out.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it’s comfortable-ness,\u201d he said. \u201cI think they don’t want to feel, themselves, uncomfortable. And that makes me uncomfortable, me and many others.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I said \u2018free Palestine\u2019 in the room, in that theatre, the room broke out in a round of applause. So there is support, there is a lot of people supporting it, but it’s not loud enough.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
