Antonio Banderas says he learnt to ignore 'meaningless' worries after he nearly died of heart attack at age 56
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Spanish actor Antonio Banderas was rushed to the hospital in 2017 after he suffered a cardiac event and now he thinks that having a heart attack was "one of the best things" that's ever happened to him. Banderas was only 56 years old at the time of the incident and underwent surgery to have three stents implanted into his coronary arteries. He credits his narrow escape from death for his resolve to change his life for the better and the chance to do so.
"I realised that it [the heart attack] probably was one of the best things that ever happened in my life because the things that were not important and I was worried every day about them, meaningless", 'The Mask of Zorro' star said, according to Page Six. "I was like, why am I worried about that if I’m going to die? I knew always [that I was going to die], but now I know. I’ve seen it right here."
