The film, which Pitt is producing, was an opportunity for Bardem to learn more about the actor he has long admired.

“I knew him, but not very well,” told “WIRED” about his past “interactions” with Pitt. “I grew up watching him and I think he’s an amazing actor. We had so much fun. He’s so open, he’s so into the game. He doesn’t care about anything. We played tennis and it was fantastic”Bardem said of Pitt, who recently celebrated his 60th birthday.

“I mean he’s 60 years old and you can’t believe it. He’s handsome, but he’s more. It’s his energy,” added Bardem, 54.
