Javier Bardem on not being afraid to speak up about politics at #Venice: “It doesn’t matter if you’re an artist, an actor, a plumber, a taxi driver, you have the right to expose your truth on what you think is important. Obviously I have more resources to do it than a taxi driver, because I have this thing [the mic] and I have you guys listening to me. So the responsibility is a different one.” https://variety.com/2026/film/festivals/penelope-cruz-javier-bardem-speaking-out-politics-venice-1236853899/
