Pirate Javier is a sucker for Cirque

Johnny Depp may be back on the set of Pirates of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales but it doesn’t mean all the stars have to remain on deck.

Spanish actor Javier Bardem ducked away from the Gold Coast, where the movie is being filmed, to attend Totem by Cirque du Soleil in Brisbane at the weekend.

The Oscar-winning actor not only caught the show but he spent 45 minutes chatting with the cast of Totem, asking them about something he can totally relate to — their lives on the road.

A Totem publicist said Bardem was blown away by Saturday night’s performance and he was part of a standing ovation.

The show, which is in Brisbane until May 24, opens in Perth on July 31 at Belmont Racecourse.
