On the Brazilian talk show Noite com Danilo Gentili in 2017, Jackman and Bardavid hugged and sat side by side for an interview — after Jackman first bowed down to him as the crowd applauded. In the clip, which circulated on social media after the news of Bardavid's death, Bardavid asked Jackman, "Don't you think I deserve an Oscar?" to which the Australian actor responded, "Yes, of course!"
According to Metro, Bardavid's grandson announced news of the star's Tuesday death, writing that "our dear actor, voice actor, writer, husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend today left for the spiritual plane. Isaac is gone, but his works will remain there, his voice is immortal as you remember him."
