Controversy
Following the legalization of same-sex marriage in Spain in 2005, Bardem incited controversy when he stated that if he were gay, he would "get married tomorrow, just to fuck over the church" (mañana mismo, sólo para joder a la Iglesia). Bardem has always been wary of Hollywood, preferring instead to make films in his native Spain or elsewhere.
