Bardem said that a hush fell over the room when he and other crew members got their first look at Kidman as the iconic comedienne.
Bardem said that he could also relate to Arnaz's struggle as an immigrant in the United States: Bardem was born and raised in Spain, while Arnaz and his family came to the United States after fleeing Cuba in 1933, when he was just a teenager.
"Even though it's different, back in the day, being a foreigner, it was even harder, I think," Bardem said."But there's a lot of things of him that I was very attracted to, and some of them, yeah, will ring a bell for me in the sense of being a foreigner and knowing what that means." "I was very honored to be able to portray him, because I felt very much in tune with what he represented for many reasons," Bardem continued.
"Being the Ricardos" hits theaters on Dec. 10. It will be available to stream on Amazon Prime Video on Dec. 21.
