On August 10, the Spanish actor born in the coastal city of Malaga, Antonio Banderas celebrated nothing more and nothing less than 63 years of success that does not stop growing and positioning him as one of the best actors in the world.

However, none hurt as much as when he found out that he was not going to be able to play soccer anymore, a sport that became his first love from the very beginning.
In his native Malaga, Antonio Banderas trained hard as a mutant for many years, understanding that if he wanted to go far and fulfill all his dreams, he had to train hard and with a lot of discipline. His goal was to become a professional athlete.
Unfortunately, his short career was ruined by an injury that took him off the pitch forever and left him rethinking what he was going to do with his life without soccer. Luckily, the performance had been going around in his head for a long time, although he never finished saying it.
Antonio Banderas took the new scene as a sign and fully immersed himself in the world of cinema and theater. With the same methodology and perseverance that he put into training, the actor was soon earning a place in the Spanish industry and becoming increasingly well-known.

Perhaps he did not grow up to become the soccer star that young Antonio dreamed of being when he was a child, but fate had prepared a much better life for him and in which he was able to demonstrate the kind of professional he is.
