(Terra,com)Tony Dandrades tuvo una confrontación con el actor español
Javier Bardem durante la conferencia de prensa que se celebró en
Londres, en ocasión del estreno de Skyfall, la más reciente cinta de
James Bond y en la que Bardem interpreta al villano de la historia.
Bardem
se molestó cuando el periodista de Primer Impacto (Univisión) le
preguntó las razones por las que evita hablar de su vida personal. Como
resultado, Dandrades tuvo que irse de la conferencia de prensa sin el
vídeo de la entrevista que hacía para presentar en el programa.
Dandrades relató su versión de lo sucedido a través de su Twitter.
“El
actor Javier Bardem se molesta por preguntas personales! censura mi
entrevista y dio órdenes de que no me entregaran los tapes! Lamentable!
Muy lamentable!”, escribió en la red social.
“Le pregunté por qué
es tan reservado con su vida privada con los medios Hispanos! Y en el
show de Jay Lenon habló sin tapujos de su vida...”
El reportero,
además, publicó una carta abierta, en inglés, en el portal de la cadena
ABC, dirigida a Bardem. En la misma, le cuenta al actor sobre su
trayectoria profesional y le reclama por lo que considera un acto de
discriminación contra la prensa de habla hispana. A continuación,
reproducimos el escrito en su totalidad.
Dear Javier:
I am a
journalist that has covered a multitude of issues -- from serious
events like the earthquake of 2010 in Haiti to interviews with the most
important names in Latin music -- and I have worked in the United States
for 20 years tirelessly to both inform and entertain Spanish-speaking
audiences so that they can maintain a connection to the artists that
they love and that remind them of home. The night before I interviewed
you, I went to the screening ofSkyfall, the latest 007 movie in which
you bring to life the malevolent Silva. I was informed prior to our
brief interview by one of the junket organizers that I was not allowed
to ask personal questions, to which I replied that it is not my policy
to censor my questions.
But there is another important reason why I
choose to exercise my right to freedom of expression. It seems to me
that the Hispanic media receives an unfair amount of limitations when it
comes to press junkets and that English-speaking outlets are given both
more freedom and access in these kinds of forums. A recent example that
comes to mind is when, during a junket for Hotel Transylvania, we were
not allowed to ask Selena Gomez about her private life, but then, to
promote the same movie, she appeared on The Ellen Show, happily
discussing her relationship to Canadian pop superstar Justin Bieber. And
that is just one example of how the rules are different for Hispanic
outlets.
When Tom Hanks came to Despierta America last year,
something changed. Since then, more and more Hollywood actors – and the
studios that hire them - have started to realize the importance of
coming to our sets. Our box office dollars matter – and so do our media
outlets.
The day of our interview, when there was one minute left
of the five we're allotted, I asked you a simple, straightforward
question: why are you so reserved when it comes to your private life? To
which you responded, "I don't discuss my private life – not in English
or Spanish." Then I noted that you choose not to speak about your
private life with Hispanic outlets, but that I've seen you open up to
mainstream outlets like The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, and that I'd
seen the clip on YouTube. Then I tried to get back to the subject of the
movie, but it appeared to have been too late.
I made my feelings
known at the end of our discussion after that one particular question
caused you to get so angry that you asked that the tapes be erased. It
was never my intention to make you angry; I asked my questions
respectfully. I do want to say that marginalizing Hispanic media is a
mistake. I don't have to tell you about how important we are as a
movie-going audience, and rest assured that your decision will not --
and should not -- prevent millions of Latinos from being informed.
Best, Tony Dandrades
