The Oscars is a traumatic experience for some people because they don’t win the little gold statuette. However, Antonio Banderas revealed on Live with Kelly and Ryan why it was for a completely different situation or him.
Back in 1992, when he presented for the first time, he was in a lot of pain. That is because he bought new shoes and there were really tight. That caused his feet to swell. What could he do? He was stuck wearing them during the five-hour show and when he presented an award with Sharon Stone.
Even though he was in so much pain, the show has to go on. He went up on stage, and since he is an actor, he tried to mask the pain. He did a good job, if you don’t know what was going on with him. However, when the actor points out that he was in so much agony that he shrugged his shoulders so high, he had no neck.
Hopefully, he will not wear new shows when he goes to Oscars on February 9th. He does not want his first chance of a win to be marred by Pain and Glory. Although, I think he would forget all about the pain if he won.
The moral of his story is never to wear new shoes for a big event. A lot of us have done it, and we learn never to do it again. At least we hope we do.
