ANTONIO'S HEART CONDITION

Banderas suffered a heart attack in January 2017 and his girlfriend saved him from dying. He revealed what happened that day and the night before.

Going through the scary episode made Banderas realize that he should pay attention to the "real things" in life, which include his daughter, friends, family, and his position as an actor.

A night before the heart attack, Kimpel went to buy painkillers because she had a headache. Luckily, she bought aspirin from a departmental store which saved Banderas from dying the next day. In the interview, he said:

"The next morning, when I started having the symptoms and I clearly knew what was going on, she put one of those aspirins inside of my tongue and that saved my life."

The couple has been together for the last seven years, and the love between them is growing stronger with each day passing. They are often seen posing together on their Instagram profiles, which their fans absolutely love watching.
