He’ll imitate Al Pacino and De Niro talking to each other. It’s incredible.”
Cruz also revealed thar Bardem’s impressions can occur in “any situation,” which seems pretty accurate, considering he’s done them on late night shows. In an appearance on The Kimmel Show, Bardem showed off his inner Mick Jagger, wowing the audience.

In the interview, Cruz also briefly touched upon her children. While she avoided sharing any characteristics and personality traits about them, she made it clear how much she values their independence. “It’s for them to decide if they are going to have a job that is more exposed to the public or not,” she said when asked about their creativity. “They can talk about that when they’re ready.”
Cruz also revealed that they’re not in social media. She said her kids “don’t even have phones. It’s so easy to be manipulated, especially if you have a brain that is still forming. And who pays the price? Not us, not our generation, who, maybe at 25, learned how a BlackBerry worked. It’s a cruel experiment on children, on teenagers.”
