His famous relationship with Penelope Cruz and his mesmerising performance in Before Night Falls aren???t the only aspects which stake his fame as well deserved. Javier Bardem isn???t one of those Hollywood actors who isn???t fame hungry and does what most others in Hollywood choose not to do which is to escape the limelight and do what his ???worker not actor??? conscience tells him. Bardem visited the Dakhla refugee camp in Tindouf, Algeria and spent some time with the Sahrawi refugees who are stationed there since the past 30 years. This was his second tour to the Desert in as many years as he is an avid supporter of the Sahrawi refugees cause which aims at raising awareness of the Sahrawi refugee population culture.
