so I wanted to do a video about Javier Bardem's level of English. He is an
accomplished actor who works in Hollywood. He's made a number of very
successful films, performed in some critically acclaimed roles not least of
all No Country for Old Men where I thought he was fantastic and he's
clearly someone who has mastered the English language and so I started to
have a look for interviews and I saw this one interview with Conan O'Brien
which I think came out about a month ago or at least the clip I found
did and it was quite interesting to me because I found he's actually got
another talent other than languages. I mean he's really good he speaks really
good clear English, got great pronunciation great diction and, yeah but,
he's got another talent. It's what we call in English 'virtue signalling'.
I think in Spanish there's something equivalent which might be 'postureo ético'.
It's quite a recent thing obviously with the rise of social media and the ability
that famous people have now to sort of spew their bile
all over the Internet. It's... well anyway, you know, I think we can
give Javier to the benefit of the doubt; perhaps here in this interview he's
maybe just trying to be funny although when you dig a little deeper he has a
bit of a history of this and not to go into too much detail I mean you'll sort
of see what I'm talking about in the rest of the video but he's... he is like
your classic virtue signaller. He is that famous guy who kind of feels bad
that he's a famous guy, I don't know. He grew up in a famous family. He is an
accomplished actor. He's a really good actor actually. I actually really like
him in most things I've seen him in but there's maybe some kind of complex there
that he feels bad about being famous I don't know and I just didn't like the
way in this interview he sort of laughed at somebody he claims not to know and
is basically quite an easy target so, the Kardashians, Kim Kardashian I think
is the one who singles out, I mean he doesn't go for the jugular, you know?
He's not making any accusations or anything like that but he's basically
suggesting that they don't deserve or that Kim Kardashian doesn't deserve the
recognition that she has gained. And I'm not here to defend
the virtue or the lack thereof of Kim Kardashian's career or any of the
Kardashians' career, the kardashian-jenner clan
They're um... they're people and they're doing something and clearly something
productive that's working for them so, you know, power to them I suppose.
But yeah Javier seems to dislike this for some reason and there's this kind of
pretend game he's got going on with Conan. I think they've prepared it a
little bit, perhaps, where he seems to suggest that he doesn't know who the
Kardashians are and that kind of got on my nerves a bit of course he knows who
the Kardashians are and yeah so it's kind of hypocritical is it's almost as
though he's you know I mean come on he's an actor okay maybe he feels he's got
more talent than somebody like Kardashian which you know is fair enough
if he feels that way but um I just sort of think give him a break you know it's
like it's like you're claiming not to know this person at all and at the same
time you're trying to destroy their reputation it's quite a bitchy thing to
do really it's pretty cruel and I can't imagine what would happen if he were to
cross paths with um with Kim Kardashian or any of the Kardashians at some events
or other which is more than likely
having the career that he has what would he do what would he say I can only
imagine he'd have to sort of stand by his original stance that he's put
forward here in this interview and he'd have to sort of look down the barrel of
his nose at them he'd have to behave with an air of superiority which is
really not great and as us suggesting before if you dig a little bit deeper
and you look at some of the things that Javier revin supports and save and then
some other things he does I find him to be morally wanting myself and nobody's
perfect but I think you're getting into
dangerous territory if you're going round talking about people that you
supposedly that you claim not to know and judging them and sort of saying
questioning how they've got to where they've got and sort of talking about
whether they have or haven't done enough for people in a lesser situation in
their own you're asking for trouble and particularly having aware of them I mean
I live in Spain so I know a little bit I think perhaps a little bit more about
him then than the average English or American person and you know he's from
a very famous family lots of members of his family were famous actors and he's
you know had a life where he's basically grown up famous it's kind of not
dissimilar to the Kardashians in a way
now I I don't pretend that I know more than I know about him but he did grow up
in that kind of environment where people knew him from a very young age he
started acting pretty young and was pretty successful pretty young in the
late 80s he was a household name in spent and that's a situation that they
can obviously make you question a lot of things and it can shape your worldview
and I think that he sees someone like Kim Kardashian and I think he's
projecting I think he's seeing something there that he doesn't like about himself
and I don't know there are a couple of comments where I just think it's a
little bit below the belt a little bit unnecessary like I said a
bit bitchy but anyway I'll let you be the judge I saw yesterday someone goes
something like --card --card Kardashian so very bad right
Xavier what do you mean what do you mean
what do you mean I mean yeah this is
ha no I swear I swear how do you not know who their Kardashian for pseudo
exactly a couple of points here so yeah how do you not know working in Hollywood
how do you not know who the cop that the Kardashians of right another Kardashian
somebody that right how do you not know who Kim Kardashian is and I know yeah I
like that pre-emptive response today why should i why should I look at his smug
little face I mean just for a minute look at this face is you know he's
obviously very happy with what he's just said and well he should be because they
could have gone one of two ways it's a controversial thing to say I don't know
who Kim Kardashian is should I know who Kim Kardashian is I mean the audience to
be fair they took it well I thought they would have you know stormed the stage
and ripped his head off but um no he even got a handshake from Conan's so
works out pretty well I guess that's why it's looking so happy
have they have they invented any vaccine that I should know no I don't think the
Cardassians have invented any vaccines no but you have have they done something
for the poorest people there of the high society who you're going into dangerous
territory there have yet have the Cardassians ever done anything for the
poorest members of society oh yeah you must mean like that time that you went
to the gory rewards with a little flag saying that you're against people
getting laid off and then laid off all of your employees at your restaurant in
Madrid that you were running with your millionaire actor family for those of
you don't know have you had other honors from a long line of Acts as his mother
his father his brothers and sisters they're all famous actors you know I
don't know how many of them are brothers sisters uncles
they're basically royalty here in Spain yeah he laid them all off he laid those
11 employees off because you saw well you know I guess he had other stuff to
do like you know gone so it's gonna know Brian what do they do
Andy help me with this well Conan I actually think I can help you a little
bit here what do they do well they're basically entertainers the Kardashians
are entertainers are you I have yet yeah
I know I love I love that you don't know who they are I love that uh and I you
know I love the fact that that Conan loves to the fact that have yet about of
them does not know or claims not to know who the Kardashians are who Kim
Kardashian is but then I don't feel like the reaction
would have been the same or if it would have been as funny if Javier to come out
saying my mum Malala yousufzai mo I I don't know should I should I know who
she is should the 2014 receiver of the
Nobel Prize for Peace I think for better or worse is a more obscure figure for
the public than Kim Kardashian
so I mean logically speaking it would be more useful um it would be more
reasonable to say that you don't know who she is and then say should I know
who she is but of course that isn't the objective he's not really trying to
display his ignorance he's trying to show that he doesn't care about who Kim
Kardashian is and I I don't think he should you know that's up to him like I
say I just think if you're gonna play this game hmm
virtue score why should we call it virtue point scoring well have you you
better make sure that you've had lived a perfect involute life you know now like
I say I mean the whole hypocrisy with the layoffs thing I mean there's a thing
in Spain called and Eddy which is basically where you
look for permission to close your business and lay off your workers
because you're not running profit which obviously in some
circumstances is is a last resort for a business which literally has no money
and no way of paying off its workers
Javier one of them is a multi-millionaire and
the people that run restaurant with him members of his family are very well-off
as well he did exactly that he appealed to the council I believe it is to get
permission to lay off his eleven waiters and waitresses and then set up the
business around the corner from what I heard he didn't close the restaurants
exactly rather he moved it and sacked all of his employees now I don't know
how directly involved he was but you kind of think if in one moment you're
that kind of you know showing up and showing how much she care about people
that you don't know and I mean that with his Goya protests against the layoffs
the government's assisted layoffs and at the same time in an interview talking
about Kim Kardashian a person that you don't know but you clearly do know and
care about that you have an opinion about and then at the same time people
who directly depend on you for employment you just disappear into thin
air you refuse to comment on it there's actually a great radio interview with
have you heard about of them's famous actress mother
in which she gets huh she gets a little bit frustrated with
the line of questioning to do with to do with this topic which you can listen to
but anyway I think I've said all I have to say his English is really good really
good
