Javier Bardem’s Daughter Thought He Was Playing The Little Mermaid | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

No Ocean for Old Mermen

[@galmanferguson]

I see what you did there lol 😅

[@lindildeev5721]

Very interesting. That makes me think: maybe he should play a male version of Ursula. He would probably terrify the original one with his deep bass voice.

Every time I see Javier Bardem in a new interview, I like him that much more. He's so genuine and humble, even though he's been at the top for so long. I love to see that. Thanks for the great conversation Conan.

[@Joemamahahahaha821]

Crazy to think he played one of the scariest characters ever

[@BbGun-lw5vi]

I don’t know if he’s the genuine. He just lied in this interview. In every interview before this one, he has said that Luna knew he wouldn’t play Ariel. That she knew immediately that he would play King Triton. Also, Luna was 7 when he told her the news. She’d have to be an idiot to think Javier would play Ariel.

[@ravensclawtemplar]

@@BbGun-lw5vi I'll admit I didn't really take him to mean that she thought it 100%, I assumed she just blurted something like that out in shock. Even just saying Ariel? I guess at the end of the day it doesn't matter. This clip made me happy. 🤷‍♀️

Javier was great as King Triton. He and Halle showcased a beautifully complicated relationship between an overprotective father and his rebellious, but determined daughter. I also loved him opposite Melissa McCarthy's Urusla- powerful enemies!

[@tobyg9495]

In Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017), Javier Bardem played a demonic, vengeance-seeking villain who seeks a trident that will allow him to control the oceans. In The Little Mermaid (2023), Javier Bardem wields a trident that allows him to control the oceans, which a demonic, vengeance-seeking villain seeks to take from him. Coincidentally, Rob Marshall, who directed The Little Mermaid, also directed Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011), in which Bardem’s real life wife, Penélope Cruz, played a major role.

My situation is that I am homeless and have anxiety so although I love the world and the world of movies, i pretty much stay in my car. The last thing I saw was Hamilton and it was great. But I felt so alone because I went by myself. So now, I just watch things on KZbin, Hulu or Netflix. But Bardem is on my to see list. I'd like to see him in dune because I've read the books and seen the first movie. ☺️ No country for old men. Going to look it up and see who shows it. 😊

@@DissociatedWomenIncorporated 🤣 Well, I don’t know what to say. I was an idiot too but not that much of an idiot to think Javier was cast as Ariel (if he was my dad.) But like I said before, he already told the story of telling his daughter quite a few times. And that she knew right away he was Triton.

@@OpheliaDarkling I didn’t watch it with the intent of calling him a liar. I was actually enjoying his interviews.

Hello Conan and his viewers: Johnny Whoren here again I am a character, and not a real person. If you have read my two comments here on Conan’s KZbin podcast, you might’ve thought that I was real and you might’ve thought I was kind of weird, which is fine if you’re a character, but not so fine if you’re a real person. I was informed by the author of me that he talked to a friend about these posts, and she said that people might think that I, Johnny Whoren, am real. Well, I’m not. Which was initially a bit of a shock to me. Don’t ask the nature of how he was able to communicate this to me. Basically, it was a sit down, as in him sitting down with paper and pen, and writing a dialogue between me and him. After I declared that he was nuts, and if he didn’t leave me alone, I would call the cops on him, he calmed me down, insisted that he was just your average guy that wrote for a hobby, and that it was OK that I was a character. We ended up coming to an agreement that while I would know he was writing me, essentially I would feel like I had free will completely, like any average Joe . We parted amicably, and to be honest, the guy’s all right and maybe one day down the road, we’ll pull a Casablanca, and end up great friends. That’s enough for today. No big talk right now about the 90s Conan show reboot. After taking some time to process the reality of my existence, I’ve decided I’m good with being a character. It’s fun, and we’ll see where all this goes. The possibilities are limitless, I realized, which kinda rocks. Sincerely, Johnny Whoren, P.I., MSW, LCSW
