Spanish film star, Antonio Banderas, says he has recovered from a heart attack that he had in January.
The 56-year-old Banderas told Spanish media: “I suffered a heart attack on January 26, but it wasn’t serious and hasn’t caused any damage.”
Banderas said he underwent a procedure to introduce three stents in his arteries, adding: “It hasn’t been as dramatic as some have written.”
Banderas’ visit to a Swiss clinic had led to speculation about the health of the star known for roles in such films as “The Mask of Zorro”, ”Desperado”, ”Philadelphia” and the animated: “Puss in Boots.”
He was also played the leading role in the film: “The Original Sin.”
Banderas spoke Saturday at a film festival in his hometown of Malaga in southern Spain, where he received a lifetime achievement award for his career as an actor, director and producer.
