Create Account '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 theatre 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 travelled to Spain's Canary Islands to work on a thriller 'Above and Below'.

Create Account The Spanish island, a popular Mediterranean vacation destination known for its nightlife and beautiful beaches, was the scene of a tattooed muscular young man enjoying himself. While the partygoer is wearing a black tank top, sunglasses, gold chain and a Louis Vuitton bag, it was his hair style — a perfectly coiffed bob cut — that had the internet bursting at the seams. Zero Six West Ibiza, a men's fashion store which also specializes in selling tickets to the island's top nightclubs, shared a short clip to TikTok of the man getting into the groove over the weekend. 'Does anyone know this absolute legend [because] we've got 2 free guestlist with his name on it!' Zero Six West captioned the video, which has been viewed more than 18 million times.

The mystery man was immediately nicknamed 'Ibiza Final Boss' for confidently rocking the hairstyle and his dance moves. 'Final boss,' a video game reference meant to describe the most powerful character to defeat at the end of the game, is also used in a joking manner for the ultimate example of something. Some people responded to the video by saying they couldn't tell if it was actually his hair. 'I watched it three times and I can't tell if that's his hair or a hat,' one person wrote. 'I thought he was wearing a beret,' another jokingly said. RECOMMENDED VIDEO Ibiza Concierge Co. also shared video of the man dancing at an outdoor club. 'The man, the myth, the legend,' the luxury boat, yacht and villa rental service wrote. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.

U.K. watchdog bans Zara ads over 'unhealthily thin' model photos
Anna KURTH/AFP Photo by Anna KURTH / AFP Reviews and recommendations are unbiased and products are independently selected. Postmedia may earn an affiliate commission from purchases made through links on this page. LONDON — Britain's advertising regulator on Wednesday banned two adverts by Spanish clothing group Zara for featuring models that appeared 'unhealthily thin,' calling the images 'irresponsible.' The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said it took action after it received a complaint about the ads, which were listed on Zara's website in May. One image showed a model with 'protruding' collarbones, with her pose and styling making her appear 'very slim.' Another featured a model who looked 'slightly gaunt' owing to a slicked-back hairstyle and that the lighting and clothing made her appear 'noticeably thin,' the ASA said.

Zara told the ASA that the models were medically certified as healthy, in line with British guidelines. It also assured that only minor lighting and colouring edits were made on the images. The ads were removed after the ASA made the company aware of the complaint, Zara said in a statement. It added that Zara 'follow stringent guidelines and controls in the selection and photographing of models.' Earlier this year, the ASA banned similar ads from British retailers Next and Marks & Spencer. Television Columnists Music Toronto & GTA World
