Carlos entered the Crypto Arena to watch the Los Angeles Clippers game the same way Jack Nicholson did at the Lakers games: with sunglasses. Accompanied by his daughter, his niece and his brother-in-law, they sat in zone 117 in a corner of the pavilion. Carlos wore Tony Kukoc’s red Bulls jersey, fulfilling his dream of seeing them live in the US. Juan Antonio Bayona’s twin became fond of the NBA and the Bulls because of Michael Jordan like so many kids of our generation. We planned the visit to the Los Angeles pavilion from Barcelona. With the game started I begged her to take off her Ray Ban sunglasses because she seemed like an insulting ghost to me. He ordered me to be silent, he asked my attention to continue pressing the screen of his iPhone, a tiny light turned on on one of the temples of the glasses. The addition of Meta with Apple is a camera on its glasses that allows you to broadcast live on Instagram Live, take photographs, record videos and even listen to music. These dangerous sunglasses allowed Carlos Bayona to record parts of the Oscar ceremony in the Dolby Theater audience and even broadcast live from the red carpet. He continues recording and seems like a man always traveling through happiness.
Carlos is the fun, cheeky one of the family, a strange counterpoint to the seriousness of his twin. The fun does not come from his blood, nor from his father or his mother, but from Uncle Cristóbal, “what a horny guy.” Perhaps that is why when Juan Antonio Bayona presented Danny de Vito with the Donostia of the Year 2018 award, Carlos with his brother and De Vito created a WhatsApp group called The Twins Hit Twice, the film in which the little American actor starred alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger. .
Yesterday the Bayona twins experienced the gala from different areas. Jota, in the audience with the nominees, Carlos in the amphitheater with the family. When Bad Bunny and The Rock opened the envelope announcing the international Oscar for The Zone of Interest and director Jonathan Glazer appeared with a political message defending Gaza, many frowned since, in the month of promotion of the film in the US British, Glazer did not grant interviews. Would he be so as not to position himself on the wrong side of history for most academics?
Juan Antonio Bayona arrived, hours after the gala, at the party at the Restaurant Teleferic BCN in Los Angeles without an Oscar award but with enough talent to tell his mother that she was wrong when, as a young man, he blurted out: “Jota, from the movies, nothing… you, official.” Carlos tells it, who continues to play jokes on anyone who passes him. The last one, last night, when he arrived at that Snow Society party. He got out of the car, the cameras surrounded him and confused him with his brother. He resisted the urge to pretend to be Juan Antonio like so many other times. For example, one morning twenty years ago the roles were exchanged and Carlos went to a round table to discuss movies and Jota stayed at home. The Colo. Two opposite attitudes of two identical faces. The Bayonas, the true snow society.
