Spanish eyes: Javier and Julia are promoting Eat Pray Love - and for once Julia has to play second fiddle


She's one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood and is used to causing mayhem wherever she goes.

But even Julia Roberts found herself thoroughly eclipsed by Javier Bardem when they arrived at the Hotel Maria Cristina today.

Julia and Javier are in Spain to promote Eat Pray Love for the 58th San Sebastian Film Festival in Spain.


Who, me? Javier can't quite believe the reaction he's getting from the crowds


With her sky-high heels, black dress and sunglasses, Julia looked every inch the Hollywood megastar.

But Javier, in his simple black shirt and jacket, was the center of attention as the crowds went wild for the Spanish actor.

The actor and wife Penelope Cruz, 36, recently announced they are expecting their first child together, after a top-secret wedding ceremony this summer in the Bahamas

The very low-profile couple began their relationship on the set of Vicky Cristina Barcelona back in 2007, but refused to confirm or deny the romance.

Bardem, 41, publically declared his love for Penelope as he collected his Best Actor award at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year.

He told the audience: 'I share this joy with my friend, my companion, my love: Penelope: I owe you a lot and I love you so much.'

And Penelope made no secret of the fact that she wanted to have children.

She told the UK's Psychologies magazine last year: 'I want to have babies one day but not right now. When I do it I want to do it really well. I want it to be my best project in life.

'I don’t know if I believe in marriage. I believe in family, love and children.'

Javier recently spoke out about impending fatherhood during an Eat Pray Love press conference in Rome, despite he and Penelope's notorious reluctance to discuss personal matters with the press.

He said: 'It is true. I am very happy. Don't make me say anything else!'
When asked if a name had been chosen for little baby Bardem, Javier said 'No, not yet.'

And he admitted he has no clue how he will one day balance a career with fatherhood.

'It is a little too soon for me to be giving any advice. I don't know yet. But I will find out soon.'

Despite being considered one of the most attractive actors around, Javier is clearly uncomfortable with being branded a sex symbol.

He said: 'Sex symbol, me? You've got to be kidding.'
