Javier Bardem and Diego Luna on Making ‘Star Wars’ Real, the Dangers of ‘Mochismo’ and Acting in English: ‘In Spanish, I Can’t Hide Myself’


Javier Bardem and Diego Luna join Variety's "Actors on Actors" to discuss "Andor," "Monsters" and what it's like acting in English vs. Spanish.

Javier Bardem and Diego Luna first met 26 years ago on the set of Julian Schnabel’s film “Before Night Falls,” and since then, both have risen to become titans of Spanish-language cinema — and TV stars too. On the true-crime drama “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,” Bardem plays the hard-driving, possibly abusive father of two young men desperate to break free of his control. Luna plays a more heroic role, as a thief with a burgeoning political conscience driven to fight the Galactic Empire in the “Star Wars” extension “Andor.”
