Javier Bardem raves about Diego Luna in 'Andor'

Many praised Diego Luna for his performance in Andor. Javier Bardem is the latest one.

In an interview with Variety’s Actors on Actors, the Dune star, who worked with him in 2000's Before Night Falls, says, “You are a “Star Wars” hero, man. How do you feel?

The Narcos: Mexico star responds, “I must confess, it feels cool. I grew up watching “Star Wars.” We did “Andor” like in the old days — interacting with droids and machines voiced by an actor through a speaker."

He continues, "[They’re] these wonderful creatures, [and so are the] people working behind the scenes to move them. It’s a kid’s dream. No green screens. It’s moviemaking."

Diego also explains, "The idea of this show is that we tell the story of regular people. There are no Jedis. You’re in their kitchens and living rooms,You see how they nap."

"This is about the regular life of people in an extraordinary moment. But there are rules: No shoelaces. No buttons. The jackets just close. I got to wear a cape."

Capping off, Javier says, "I love you, my friend. I admire you so much for everything you do as an actor, producer and a man."

Diego's Andor is streaming on Disney+.
