Javier Bardem just proved age is just a number as he posed in a topless photo at the age of 55 with the torso of a 25 year old.

The Skyfall actor, who is married to Penelope Cruz, smiled as he posed in cream cord trousers with his bare chest on show and was photographed by his wife.

Other black and white photos showed the No Country for Old Men actor taking a shower, swimming in the sea looking happy as Larry, and staring at the camera from behind some big old glasses while wearing a thick-knitted jumper,

When he wasn’t posing topless for the photoshoot with The Gentleman’s Journal, he was wearing various iterations of white T-shirts, staring out from beneath a tree in one and smiling broadly at a table in another.

Alongside the snaps, Javier discussed meeting and working with his wife Penelope in the accompanying interview.

They met when Javier was 22 and Penelope was 17, and he recalled: ‘It was her first movie; one of my first movies. A big movie.

The Skyfall star chatted about how he met Penelope (Picture: Penelope Cruz)

‘We met on the wardrobe test, where we looked at each other, and I guess something happened. Something that doesn’t have any explanation and goes beyond logic and reasoning.

‘But, back in the day, we had different lives, different objectives, aims and goals.

‘Yet, something was there – an energy, a chemistry, a way to rely on each other as human beings. And that stayed for so long, even though we didn’t see each other or speak to each other for many years.’

The Spanish actors reunited after their respective global fame and on the set of the 2007 Woody Allen film Vicky Cristina Barcelona their relationship turned romantic.

The pair were surprised to see the years-long feeling was still alive, but were comforted by the fact they knew each other before all the ‘noise’ of Hollywood stardom.

‘That’s an important base, to rely on someone because you know them for real, and they know you for real. You see me, I see you. That’s important,’ he said.

Javier and Penelope went on to have two children, Leo, 13 and Luna, 11, and he’s still learning about fatherhood as he goes.

He also discussed his recent Netflix role (Picture: Penelope Cruz)

Discussing how important childhood is, Javier told the publication how we must be ‘really sensitive’ to our kids to help them grow healthily.

He knows what kind of father he doesn’t want to be: one that’s controlling and adding pressures to their life, rather than letting them find their own way.

Child-parent relationships were the core of Javier’s recent Netflix film Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, about how two sons murdered their parents.
