> “They said, ‘You are here, like the blacks and the Hispanics, to play the bad guys,’” Banderas told the publication about pivoting from Spanish movies to Hollywood productions. “The problem was a few years later I had a mask, hat, sword and cape and the bad guy was Captain Love, who was blond and had blue eyes.”
> “Even more important is ‘Puss in Boots,’ because it’s for young kids,” Banderas added about stepping into hero roles. “They see a cat that has a Spanish, even an Andalusian accent and he’s a good guy.”
Man, I don’t think I’ve ever seen him play a villain.
I had like 5 vhs tapes when I became conscious. 2 of them were Antonio Banderas movies lol
I love when he says Crazy in Alabama.
Puss N Boots: The Last Wish is friggin’ awesome.
I’m looking for a man named Bucho
What bad guys has he played? Genuinely drawing a blank
He’s too handsome and oozes too much charisma to ever play the villain.
At this point you’re hoping there’s just one bad asshole who says all this shit at the bus station
