Antonio Banderas


Antonio Banderas : Biography

Handsome, charming, and multi-talented Antonio Banderas has starred in over 50 films, which is quite remarkable given that he is just 43 years of age. Based on the interviews we have seen, Antonio is very modest, thoughtful and honest, three of his endearing qualities. When asked how he feels about being classified as a "Latin Lover", he has often responded, "When I am old, fat, greasy, and my hair is falling out, people will say 'Well he USED to be a Latin Lover' ". We predict that Antonio will look even more handsome and distinguished with age. He is much better looking as a 43 year old man than he was back in the days of Labyrinth of Passion, that's for sure.

Antonio Banderas : Filmography

American director, Arne Glimcher, cast Antonio in “The Mambo Kings” even though Banderas couldn’t speak English. Antonio was determined to conquer the language barrier and learned all his lines phonetically. He also took intensive English lessons at a Berlitz school. Motivated by a frantic desire to learn and to succeed, he delivered a stunningly deep rendering of his lines that won him high praise for his performance. His next flick was “Philadelphia” and offered up a remarkably creditable performance as Tom Hanks understanding lover. He went on to play in a string of movies that brought out even more of his incredible talent such as “The House of the Spirits” (1993), “Interview With the Vampire” (1994), “Desperado” (1995), and “Assassins” (1995). He also showed his incredible talent for dance and singing in the musical “Evita” with Madonna.In 1995 Antonio and Melanie Griffith stared in the flick “Two Much” and became romantically linked. After a whirl wind romance, and to the surprise of many, were married in May of 1996. The couple welcomed the birth of their first child, Stella del Carmen, the following September. The family has two home bases and as he stated in one article “Melanie and I have two lives, a professional one that we developed in Los Angeles—apart from which it’s the city where Melanie was raised, and the other, more familial, in our house in Spain where we live when we don’t work.” His wish is to impart the best of both worlds into his daughter. “I wanted that she have a marked Spanish character and that she speak the two languages very well. And clearly that she will respect her Anglo-Saxon side” he has stated.
