“Enigmatic and Mesmerizing: Javier Bardem Reveals Stunning Secrets About Bald Austin Butler in ‘Dune 2′”
Javier Bardem expressed his admiration for Austin Butler’s portrayal of Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen in the upcoming film “Dune: Part Two.” At the world premiere of “The Little Mermaid” in Los Angeles, Bardem praised Butler’s captivating appearance, stating that whether he was bald or with hair, Butler was an extraordinary creature to behold. Bardem couldn’t help but marvel at Butler’s beauty, remarking that he could gaze at him for hours.
In addition to his physical attributes, Bardem also commended Butler’s pleasant demeanor, generosity, humor, and unwavering dedication to his role. Even with limited interactions, Bardem was impressed by Butler’s ability to fully embody the character of Feyd-Rautha.
Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen is the malevolent nephew of Baron Harkonnen, played by Stellan Skarsgård, and the brother of the sadistic Glossu Rabban, portrayed by Dave Bautista. The two brothers are engaged in a fierce competition to become the successors of the Harkonnen family on the planet Arrakis. A teaser trailer released on May 2 gave audiences a glimpse of Butler’s bald appearance, following a previous first-look photo that only showed him from behind.
The sequel will feature the return of Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya in their respective roles as Paul Atreides and Chani. “Dune: Part Two” is scheduled for release on November 3.
Meanwhile, Bardem plays the role of King Triton in “The Little Mermaid.” He jokingly entertained the idea of a cinematic crossover where his character would face off against Jason Momoa’s Aquaman. Bardem playfully stated that although he loved Momoa, King Triton, as the son of Poseidon, would ultimately prevail. However, Bardem admitted that in reality, he would swiftly lose the fight and would instead choose to run away from Momoa.
Fans can catch “The Little Mermaid” in theaters starting May 26.
