Back in late January, there were rumors that Antonio Banderas was hospitalized with chest pains. On January 30th, his rep confirmed the hospitalization, but said he was “released that same day after doctors performed a check-up which confirmed his good health.”
Yesterday at the Malaga Spanish Film Festival, he told the press he suffered a heart attack on January 26th. The cardiac episode did not cause any lasting damage, but he did say, “I underwent an operation where they implanted three stents in my coronary arteries, and since I had suffered from arrhythmia for quite some time, I underwent thermoablation, but it wasn’t as dramatic as they say.”
Thankfully, now the actor is on the mend and looking as healthy as ever.
