Javier Bardem discusses his very short-lived stripping career as he chats to Ellen DeGeneres on her show Wednesday. Bardem tells the host how he drunkenly agreed to become a stripper at a disco while doing a favour for a friend.

He shares, “I’m 53 years old, there was a time when I was 20, believe it or not. I was stepping out of a cake for a friend’s wife then we went to celebrate that into a disco and I did my routine again on the dancefloor and the owner of the disco said, ‘Will you do that every Friday?'” READ MORE: Javier Bardem Dressed Up As A Bond Girl And Came Out Of A Cake For Daniel Craig’s Birthday “I said, ‘Yeah, of course’ because I was drunk.

Then they hired me and I had to perform the next Friday and I was so nervous, I called my mom and my sister to accompany me to my striptease number. “There was nobody, I think there were, like, three people there.

It was very embarrassing but I did it. I mean, I’m a performer and I gave my word. So I was a stripper for a day,” he adds.
