BARDEM DEEMS FAME A CURSE TO ACTING

Spanish actor JAVIER BARDEM laments becoming famous, because the more well known he is, the worse an actor he becomes. Bardem - who was recently linked to Penelope Cruz - has already won critical acclaim for his role in No Country For Old Men. Yet he admits his job is not as great as it may seem. He says, "The more you are known the worse an actor you become. My job is based on people's behaviour and the fact is it's not possible for me to sit down in a cafe in Spain and simply watch people, because they are looking at me."
