'This GretaThunberg girl is amazing. They’re willing to go ahead and say, ‘Enough, enough, enough. We care and we are the future.’'
the new eco-documentary in which he embarks on an arctic expedition with Greenpeaceis a far cry from the actor we’ve come to know onscreen. In it, the 50-year-old Spaniard sheds the chilling persona he’s cultivated in films like—the kind who stares off into alien landscapes, as though he can’t quite believe where he is, and who smiles giddily when he sees a family of penguins sliding down an icy hill.
JAVIER BARDEM: It was one of the most awe-inspiring things in the sense that I was just with my eyes and ears wide open, listening and learning from the guys who know what they’re doing and who have been doing it for ages. I had it in my mind that I didn’t know anything about anything. I just know that I worry about climate change because I live in Spain and there’s no such thing as seasons, more or less. Either it’s very hot or very cold, and degrees are rising every year.
BARDEM: Yeah, and there was no such thing as plan, we were just there. Of course, it is what it is, it’s notBARDEM: Exactly. We had a great cameraman named Fabio Nascimento, who is a Brazilian photographer and was an inspiration. He shot all these amazing images, which are priceless. BARDEM: Yeah, there’s a danger. There’s a person who organizes everything, there are people of different ages. They can be very young, and they’re not what we think, like a bunch of hippies smoking grass. There are people that have been six months away from their families, they’re not getting any money. I mean yeah, they’re being paid, but peanuts. And they are doing this for ages.
BARDEM: Exactly. And these people pay a price because of what you just said. They come back to the world that we know, and they don’t fit.BARDEM: Yes, and you have to be genetically driven. You have to be that person. And I’m not, I’m an actor, but I’m very interested and very honored to have an element of helping and listening in any way I can.
