Final night time had been the Emmy Awards, and for some celebrities, it was an opportunity to flaunt their… ignorance and advantage signaling.
Extra particularly, Javier Bardem, Hannah Einbinder, Meg Stalter, Aimee Lou Wooden, Chris Perfetti, Ruth Negga, Natasha Rothwell all both wore a Artists4Ceasefire pin or made statements on the occasion to sign their ethical chapter.
Yeah, me too. Javier Bardem is the one a type of names I even acknowledge, and even then as a result of he’s married to Penélope Cruz.
And boy, what a goose he made from himself. He got here dressed up wanting like certainly one of his villainous on-screen characters.
Javier Bardem says “I cannot work” with any movie or TV firm “who justifies or helps the genocide” in Gaza: “It is so simple as that. We shouldn’t be in a position to that, on this business or any business.” #Emmys pic.twitter.com/q1rMBi8H3m

I used to be virtually anticipating James Bond to look and interact in hand-to-hand fight with him.

Javier Bardem has been screaming “genocide” in Gaza since 2014. For the reason that finish of the 2014 battle, the Gazan inhabitants has elevated by roughly 340,000–400,000, representing a ~19-23% improve.
And Bardem applauding Spaniards making an attempt to expel the Israeli biking group is actually sickening, particularly given Spain’s darkish historical past. Heck, Barden performed a twisted monk in the course of the Spanish Inquisition in Miloš Forman’s 2006 movie Goya’s Ghosts. Or maybe he wasn’t enjoying something.
And right here’s the kicker about this Spanish bull fighter sh*tter. When he and Cruz grew to become mother and father for the primary time, their baby son was born within the utmost privateness on the Cedars-Sinai Medical Middle in Los Angeles. It’s a Jewish-founded hospital, whose mission “is based within the moral and cultural precepts of the Judaic custom.” Not solely that, however Cedars-Sinai has medical collaborations with Israeli hospitals and, after Oct. 7, 2023, donated to Israeli medical facilities. Maybe Bardem and Cruz ought to return their son in protest?
So spare us the sanctimony, Javier. I think you gained’t be working a lot within the movie enterprise once more. However take a look at the brilliant facet – you’ll be able to at all times be a cosplay villain, if not a film one, by strolling round in that keffiyeh.
