A Question for Spaniards about his Spanish


I am a big fan of Javier's work. I have just finished rewatching him in Live Flesh (Carne Tremula).I don't know if it's just my hearing, but it seems that he has a particularly beautiful way of speaking Spanish.What I mean is that the language itself sounds more beautiful, melifluous, when he speaks it.

I can speak basic Spanish and I have always been fascinated by languages and regional accents , so it interests me greatly to learn how different Spanish can sound from region to region.

I see that he was born in the Canary Islands but I'm guessing he was not raised there because of his history in T.V. acting from an early age. ? Do any of you Spaniards notice what I notice about his speech? Thank you for your help.

Is the name Bardem Portuguese as well? Final "M" is common in that language, but not in Spanish.
