This is clearly a stupid post. In Spain, the "fanaticism" over Celebrities is quite big, to the point of Gossiping and so on... Latin/Hispanic culture. He might have been under attack and he just answered with this misunderstood remark. It was obviously, obviously misunderstood.

I lived in Santa Fe (province of Granada) for my entire upbringing; the Spanish can be a little over-possessive, nationalistic and territorial at times. Joaquin Cortes, Penelope Cruz and Banderas have all been excoriated when receiving US awards or paychecks.
In most cases i agree with the Spanish press/public - that they chase nothing but the dollar. Putting yourself in his shoes - would you turn down a Coen Brothers picture?

Forget about the haters, it's not an easy job being an actor--all be it, being a star. People just have issues with those whom have more than they have. I wonder what the same people would say this if they were in that position. Sometimes you have to look at things on boths sides, rather than just using one phase of it. They're are two sides to everything--always.

His quote from the article:
"The Spanish are tough," he said. "They criticise my work and say I sold out. You want to say, ''Stop it - you're a bunch of stupid people. But you are never going to be liked by everybody."He didn't call Spaniards stupid people.
I was going to complain that I was offended by Bardem limiting the scope of such a keen observation to only the people of Spain, when, in fact, the world is full of stupid people. But I'll have to save that for another day, when such an incident actually occurs.

creo que no!
i doubt he called the entire country of Spain stupid, rather the people who referred to him as a sellout.

Actually, most people do use Spaniard with regard to someone from Spain. The degradation of the English language is a sad phenomenon, it reflects the degradation of the collective mind.

The reality is that people don't use that term in such a manner. It matters not what is proper but what is actual.

Spanish is the language and the adjective for any inanimate object or thing from Spain. Spaniards is the word for the people of Spain.

They are only stating how Spain will take it since they can't seem to be happy for someone getting somewhere.
I didn't think he deserved the award and he wasn't nearly as "freaky" as some said. I didn't see that at all.....

I wish Current would make at least some kind attempt, no matter how feeble, to distinguish itself from the rest of the internet's journalistic failures. but alas. here we are.
He did NOT criticize all of Spain.
sheesh. - 4 years ago

But everyone spins whatever they want and it only matters that it is spun when it annoys not because it is.

"After something like the awards, you've changed a little bit, but everyone around you has changed tremendously. You have to bring them back, you have to show that you are the same stupid, limited guy and not this kind of golden boy."
It seems he's not shy about calling himself stupid either.

Way to blow an innocent rebuttal completely out of context; I'm sure he was referring only to the people who criticised him.
