Javier Ángel Encinas Bardem was born on March 1, 1969, in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain. His mother, Pilar, was an actress, and his father, José, was the son of a cattle rancher. His father was a violent and unpredictable man who was constantly getting the family evicted. Shortly after Bardem was born, his parents divorced, and he was raised by his mother with his older siblings Carlos and Mónica. Javier's heritage includes a long line of filmmakers and actors, including Rafael Bardem, Matilde Muñoz Sampedro, and Juan Antonio Bardem, an anti-fascist filmmaker who was imprisoned by Franco. As a kid, Javier spent lots of time on film sets and in theaters. He made his first appearance on screen at the age of six in an episode of the Spanish television series "El Picaro." However, Bardem was initially more interested in a career in painting than one in acting, and studied the art for four years at the Escuela de Artes y Oficios in Madrid. Ultimately, he decided he wasn't a great painter and abandoned the vocation.
