The 65-year-old actor started a relationship with American actress Melanie Griffith in 1995 while shooting Two Much. They married in 1996, in London. The two have a daughter, Stella del Carmen Banderas, who appeared onscreen with Melanie in Banderas’ directorial debut Crazy in Alabama in 1999.

Banderas, who lives with partner Nicole Kimpel, told The Times newspaper of his belief his heart attack was the best thing to have happened to him: “Seriously. Mine was a really serious warning. It changed the way I look at life.

“Faced with death, it made me look back and realise that I am, in fact, a theatre actor. I have never been so happy.”

He continued: “A few months before (my father) died we were watching the procession of the Holy Sepulchre pass by on the night of Good Friday and suddenly, without looking at me, he said, ‘I think there’s nothing. I think there’s nothing after death.’ My father, who was very Catholic, said that. I will come back as a ghost. To haunt my theatre.”
