Antonio Banderas

1. As a boy he dreamed of playing professional football rather than becoming an actor. However, he was forced to change his career plans when he broke his foot in his early teens.
2. He's the son in law of the legendary actress Tippi Hedren who starred in classics such as The Birds (1963) and Marnie (1964). She, of course, was Melanie Griffith's mother.
3. His full name is José Antonio Domínguez Bandera. Dominguez was the surname of his father and Bandera the surname of his mother. It's unclear why Antonio decided to add 's' onto the end of Bandera.
