Javier Bardem was born on 1 March 1969 in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The Festival de Cannes identifies him as the son of actress Pilar Bardem and the nephew of director and screenwriter Juan Antonio Bardem; it also notes his training in painting at the Escuela de Arte y Oficios.
His international profile was consolidated with Academy Award nominations for Before Night Falls, Biutiful and Being the Ricardos, and with the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for No Country for Old Men in 2008. Cannes also confirms the shared Best Actor award in 2010 for Biutiful.
His connection with the Canary Islands is expressed through his birth in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and through the international reach of a film career among the most recognised in contemporary Spanish cinema.
