Birthday Suits

Channing Tatum reconnects with his stripper past in ‘Magic Mike.’ See more stars who strutted in the buff.

Oscar-nominated actor Javier Bardem may be with Penelope Cruz, but that doesn't mean he's super confident about his appearance. On The Tonight Show Tuesday, he explained why he's a lover, not a fighter.

He played a quadriplegic in The Sea Inside and won an Oscar as a hit man in No Country for Old Men, but his dying hustler in Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s new Biutiful, out Wednesday, may top them all. Bardem tells Gina Piccalo about losing himself in characters—and why he doesn’t perform to win awards.
