These are photos from the Madrid premiere of Javier Bardem’s latest (Spanish-language) movie, Alacran Enamorado (Scorpion in Love), which was co-written by Javier’s older brother, Carlos, who also appears in the movie. In the movie, Javier plays a neo-Nazi boxer, and apparently, all of the boxing is real and no stunt-doubles were used. Supposedly, boxing is also used as “metaphor for life” in this film as well. Sounds interesting, I guess, as long as the neo-Nazi gets beaten out of the characters at some point.

Now I’ve harbored a pretty big crush on Javi (despite his own claims to Esquire that he has a tiny wang) for many years and even before he became big in the United States following his Oscar win in No Country for Old Men, but I didn’t know he had a brother who is also slightly easy on the eyes. Look at this display of brotherly love! I think Javi is more handsome than Carlos, but I’d still hit either one on any random day.

Here’s some photos of Javi by himself while he broods intensely for the flashbulbs. Those nostrils remind me of a Looney Tunes bull, but Javier is still mighty fine regardless.
