I feel grateful for who you are. About how you can be responsible for life, the life of your children, the life of your family, your mother, your friends, the life of others, the many people you don’t know, for whom you suffer and care and doubtless the life of this gentleman who is here, who loves you and thanks you very much for it.’ Javier Bardem did not fail to thank his two children for their support.
