Antonio Banderas rules out retirement as he turns 65
"When I was 20, I thought that 65-year-olds walked with a cane," said Banderas, known for roles in films such as The Mask of Zorro, Desperado and Philadelphia, in an interview with the Spanish daily El País.
"Back then, at 65 you retired. Not anymore - now it's later."
"Maybe I'm doing things I shouldn't be doing," added Banderas, who suffered a heart attack in 2017. "But the doctors don't say anything to me. They say I'm fine, that I should do whatever I want."
The actor said he has recently started music theory classes and bought himself a piano.
"I think I'd be one of those people who die if they stop. And I work at what I love; it's been the luck of my life," he said.
Banderas, who began acting in the 1980s, said he remains busy running the theater he opened in 2019 in his hometown of Malaga, in southern Spain.
He spent part of the summer in Boston filming a biopic of legendary chef Anthony Bourdain, titled Tony, and then traveled to Spain's Canary Islands to work on a thriller Above and Below.

Who is Cristiano Ronaldo's fiancee Georgina Rodriguez? Model is soul-mate of Man Utd legend and mum to kids
GEORGINA RODRIGUEZ is enjoying life in Saudi Arabia following Cristiano Ronaldo's move to Al-Nassr. The family moved to the Gulf state at the end of 2022 after both Manchester United and CR7 agreed to end the striker's time at Old Trafford. 3 Ronaldo and partner Georgina Rodriguez have been together since 2016 Credit: Instagram @georginagio And the loved-up couple finally revealed in August 2025 that they are finally engaged! Who is Georgina Rodriguez? Georgina Rodriguez grew up in Jaca, a city in northeastern Spain and part of the province of Huesca, near the Pyrenees. She was born to a Spanish mum and an Argentinian dad. Georgina learned dance before changing careers to modelling after studying English in London. The Sun revealed that her father is a convicted cocaine trafficker named Jorge Rodriguez, who spent ten years in jail. The 29-year-old was first spotted on a string of dates with then-Real Madrid superstar Ronaldo towards the end of 2016. Georgina has claimed that her first meeting with the football star was "love at first sight." "Our first meeting was at Gucci, where I worked as a sales assistant," she recalled in an interview with The Sun . "Days later, we saw each other again at another brand's event. "It was then that we could talk in a relaxed atmosphere, outside my work environment. It was love at first sight for both." News of her relationship with the footballer began to emerge in November 2016 when they were snapped walking around Disneyland Paris arm-in-arm and publicly showing their affection for one another. And despite putting on a disguise, the Italian magazine Chi was able to identify Ronaldo as he cuddled up to his new love interest. Georgina gave birth to baby daughter Alana Martina on November 12, 2017, with Ronaldo posting a picture on Instagram, writing: "Alana Martina is just born! Both Geo and Alana are doing great! We are all very happy!'" And just over two years later, the pair were forced to deny rumours that they had got hitched in a low-key ceremony in Morocco. 3 Cristiano Ronaldo previously shared a cosy family picture of him cuddling three of his children with Georgina Rodriguez Credit: Instagram How did Georgina Rodriguez and Cristiano Ronaldo meet? Before meeting Ronaldo, Georgina worked at a Gucci store in the Spanish capital of Madrid. It's believed the Spanish beauty caught the eye of Cristiano Ronaldo in the VIP area of a Dolce & Gabbana event. How long have Georgina Rodriguez and Cristiano Ronaldo been dating? The couple appeared to start dating a few months after Ronaldo was caught cuddling up to fitness model Cassandre Davis in August 2016. And, while it's difficult to know exactly how long Ronaldo and Georgina have been together, their first public date was in mid-November 2016. After years together, the pair revealed that they got engaged on August 11, 2025. Gerorgina posted a picture on Instagram of her wearing a beautiful ring with the caption of the post read: "Yes I do. In this and in all my lives." 3 @georginagio/Instagram How many children does Cristiano Ronaldo have? Ronaldo shares two children with girlfriend Georgina and has a brood of five in total. The Manchester United stars eldest is 12-year-old son Cristiano Ronaldo Jr - who has already starred for his father's club at youth level. In June 2017, Ronaldo then welcomed twins – Eva and Mateo – into the world after a surrogate mother allegedly gave birth to them in the United States. A month later, Ronaldo confirmed in an interview that he and Georgina Rodriguez were expecting their first baby together. When asked by Spanish news outlet El Mundo whether the player was 'happy' to have another child on the way, he replied: 'Yes, very much.' Georgina gave birth to baby daughter Alana Martina on November 12, 2017. Four years, later Cristiano and Georgina announced they were expecting twins. But tragically, after Georgina gave birth in April 2022, the pair announced that their baby boy had passed away as they paid tribute online. Ronaldo wrote on social media: "It is with our deepest sadness we have to announce that our baby boy has passed away. "It is the greatest pain that any parents can feel. "Only the birth of our baby girl gives us the strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness. "We would like to thank the doctors and nurses for all their expert care and support. "We are all devastated at this loss and we kindly ask for privacy at this very difficult time. "Our baby boy, you are our angel. We will always love you." The couple have since named their baby daughter Bella Esmeralda.

In a snap shared on EastEnders star Dean Gaffney's Instagram page, Katie could be seen partying with the former soap actor. Standing in between Dean and pal Jamie O'Hara, Katie posed and pouted as the two men beamed. Now a source has claimed that Katie flew to Ibiza to steal Princess's spotlight. They told MailOnline: "This should be a really exciting time for Princess but over the last couple of months her mum has been doing everything she can to take the limelight away from her. "Princess was booked to make her catwalk debut at the opening of the Ibiza Fashion Festival back in June, and what did Katie do? "She flew out to Ibiza and made sure everyone knew she was there with daily stories and pictures with the likes of Wayne Lineker and Dean Gaffney. It's embarrassing." They added: "What mother wouldn't want to let their child have their time in the spotlight? "These latest comments are going to really upset Princess.

KATIE'S SNUB ITV2 bosses reportedly told how Katie could not be a part of the series. A source told The Sun of the family turmoil and said: "Katie feels isolated and disregarded. "She loves Princess so much and is supremely proud of the young woman she is becoming.

A source said: "Katie will not be in Princess's show, the decision has been made and it's final. "Princess loves her mum, and they have a great relationship, but the show is all about her work and home life. "Television bosses were adamant that nothing was to be 'staged' to include Katie as it would not be a real and truthful insight into her life." STRAINED RELATIONSHIP It comes after Princess admitted this month she "wishes she had a happier childhood." The TikTok star also addressed the "dark times" while she was growing up. While Princess was too young to really remember her parents together, she has traumatic memories of the breakdown of Katie's third marriage to Kieran Hayler. In her new ITV2 series - The Princess Diaries - the teen opens up about her younger years and admits: "I did have a counsellor, I do still see her every now and then. "But I don't feel like I can really talk, so I just write everything down in my notes." She also revealed the sick messages she gets from men when she reveals her figure on social media - leaving dad Peter shocked. For his part, he stood by his eldest daughter as they posed in a new snap taken on holiday. 7 Princess expressed concern that she didn't fit in Credit: ITV 7 A source branded Katie's conduct in Ibiza 'embarrassing' Credit: Instagram/deangaffney1
