Javier Bardem received two Emmy nominations in 2025 for his work on *Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story*, both for acting and producing. However, during a brief interview on E! Live, he chose to focus on a more pressing issue. Bardem spoke out about the situation in Gaza, stating that the International Association of Genocide Scholars has declared it a genocide. He concluded his remarks with “Free Palestine.” He showed his support by wearing a keffiyeh, a traditional Palestinian scarf, over his suit and highlighted the work of Film Workers for Palestine. Bardem emphasized that his stance wasn’t about targeting individuals, but about avoiding companies that support or excuse the violence. He told *Variety* he would refuse to work with any film or television company that supports the genocide, in any industry.
Javier Bardem has repeatedly used his public appearances to raise awareness about the violence in Gaza, particularly during interviews promoting his film, *F1*, this summer. He voiced his support for Palestine on both *The View* and the *F1* red carpet, emphasizing the importance of the issue to him. He noted that while celebrating film is important, it’s crucial to remember real-world events. During a conversation with an Emmys red carpet host, he expressed his gratitude for being allowed to speak freely without interruption, offering a respectful bow and handshake.
