Antonio Banderas says heart attack changed his life
‘The Mask of Zorro’ star was 56 when he was rushed to hospital in 2017 after suffering a cardiac event and he later underwent surgery to have three stents implanted into his coronary arteries – and he now credits his brush with death with giving him the chance to change his life for the better.

Plus he had just announced that he was, finally, officially returning as…
