Antonio Banderas' surprising admission about aftermath of 2017 heart attack

Antonio Banderas has shared that one of the seemingly worst moments of his life truly turned out to be one of his greatest.

In an interview with Page Six selling his newest movie, Puss In Boots: The Last Wish, he shares that the heart attack he suffered in 2017 was “definitive” for him.

“I realised that it probably was one of the best things that ever happened in my life because the things that were not important and I was worried every day about them – meaningless,” he shared.

The Spanish-born actor suffered from the heart attack in January 2017, and was saved by his longtime girlfriend Nicole Kimpel who reacted rapidly and gave him medical help. He credit her for saving his life.

Though he needed to endure a process to insert three stents into his arteries, he nonetheless insists that it “hasn’t been as dramatic as some have written.”

“I was like, why am I worried about that if I’m going to die – I knew always, but now I know,” he emphasised by pointing downwards, “I’ve seen it right here,” he mentioned, bringing his hand as much as his face to point out how shut he was to dying.
