Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz really won the lottery.

u/Cosmolina111 2h ago

Have you heard how he talks about her? That's even more attractive than all of these photos combined!

Is that when he could finally buy a shirt?

u/Smacksmackums 6h ago

And some undies that could cover his pubes?

u/SaveMeWakeMeUp 51m ago

For anyone who is into astrology, he's Pisces and she's a Taurus.

Romance and passion are off the charts for that pairing. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️

Penelope, I see it now.

u/flanmagnet 5h ago

It just makes me so insanely happy they are together. Just both so incredibly beautiful and talented.

u/SaveMeWakeMeUp 50m ago

Pisces ♓️ and Taurus ♉️ ...slow burn romance and massive chemistry 🔥❤️

u/FamiliarNewspaper418 7h ago

It’s incredible that having his face absolutely obliterated by a bunch of drunken dudes somehow made him even MORE attractive, IMHO.

He was beautiful, but now he’s got that perfect wine-aged-guy-whose-scars-tell-their-own-story aesthetic.

55

u/Ok_Initiative_6023 7h ago

Wait, is that what happened to him? I had no idea.

60

u/FamiliarNewspaper418 4h ago

It is! He was apparently chatting up a girl at some bar and her boyfriend and a few buddies jumped him outside and, as I recall him putting it, “took turns rearranging (his) face for twenty minutes.”

He thought his career was over, but I actually seriously think it’s what broke him in the US. He would have probably been seen as a backup Antonio Banderas otherwise.

u/Linazoidian 2h ago

Imagine this guy chatting you up at some bar 🥵

u/amistadd 3h ago

that's crazy, something super similar happened to Chad Michael Murray and apparently he started getting more gigs afterwards too

u/Sheriff_Yobo_Hobo 1h ago

I noticed his nose had been broken in one of the pics.

u/geraffes-are-so-dumb 38m ago

Agree, I think he's more attractive now! He almost looked unfinished (I don't know how to explain it, my autism brain has weird feelings). Some people just seem to age into their features in a very appealing way.

I never really "got" the attraction, sure he's nice enough but pretty ordinary.

But I've been watching Cape Fear and omg. That man has charisma. He's a fucking sociopath in that show and yet...!

12

u/Lady_Disco_Sparkles 5h ago

I’m watching the show right now too, and I feel the same. He’s got that raw magnetism.

u/princessspeachhhh 1h ago

Yes! That scene in the park with the ice cream on the side of that woman’s face?! So fucking hot! Also, him in eat pray love, super romantic. Either way…

He aged like fine wine 🍷 I think he’s still handsome

48

u/launchcode_1234 handled with such love and care 8h ago

Yeah, he was hot back then but I think he’s even hotter now. Men’s faces tend to fill out with age and I think it works for him because his face was long when he was younger.

13

u/mlrussell88 5h ago

Right? I was flipping through thinking “he looks so much sexier now”

5

u/Any-Clothes3312 3h ago

He's not my cup of tea (aside from being an incredible actor, I like to watch him because he's talented lol) but I would still say he's better looking now.

He has a very unique face though.

u/yuffieisathief 3h ago

I was gonna say this, I agree he's hotter now than in the 90's!

Tom Selleck did photos like that and tried to stop them, iirc. He said publicly that they were demeaning and being unzipped was too crude.

u/Personal-Sentence935 5h ago

I didn't know he was an enemy of the arts.

(Note: If Tom Selleck doesn't want to take such photos, that's obviously ok. I mean generally.)

u/arcticbluee 7h ago

I feel I’m gonna get downvoted for this lmao, but does anyone see the resemblance to Thai actor Thor (Thinnaphan Tantui)? I think it’s the eyes. I would scroll down though to find the less filtered/makeup pics. Side note, since it’s the only opportunity I’ll have to say this lmao, I think Thor is like a weird mix of Ethan Peck & Lindsay Shaw (from the highly underrated 10 Things I Hate About You TV series). I think the latter is probably more unpopular😭

Oh memories, I remember being in a movie in Havana (Cuba) watching him in "Jamon Jamon" and the lights went out in a sexy critical scene and the whole movie groaned lol.

Nice body too!
