The heart attack was “one of the best things” that could have happened
Antonio Banderas’ heart attack in 2017 helped him re-prioritize important things in life.
“I realized it was probably one of the best things that ever happened in my life, because the things that weren’t important and I was worrying about them every day were meaningless,” says Page Six alone.
“I was wondering, why am I worried about this if I’m going to die?” he translates. “I always knew [that I was going to die]but now i know. I saw it here.
He adds that important things like his daughter Stella, who he shares with Melanie Griffith, his friends, family and his “acting calling” have stayed, and he has begun to detach himself from “things that I used to think were important but really weren’t.” “. “.
The Spanish-born actor, 62, suffered a heart attack in January 2017 and credits his longtime girlfriend Nicole Kimpel with saving his life when she reacted quickly by giving him aspirin.
In March this year, he said it was nothing serious and had not caused any serious damage, but had undergone the procedure of having three stents inserted into his arteries.
“It wasn’t as dramatic as some people write,” he told the press at the time.

We’ll soon hear Banderas reprise his role as the cat bully in Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, in which Puss discovers he has burned eight of his nine lives and sets out to find a mythical last wish.
The Oscar nominee admits that he also had bad moments in his life, but they don’t last long because he is “a very positive person by nature. My depressions last for five minutes, I get back to myself immediately.”
Banderas – who is currently on stage in Madrid in “Company” – also hints that he plans a long-awaited return to Broadway after winning a Tony Award in 2003 for “Nine.”
“Something was written during our conversation,” he teases, adding that the character would make sense because of his Iberian accent.
