Vary also introduced in his second directorial achievement Summer Rain, valued at the Berlinale in 2007, but otherwise adopted rather inconsistent. "I tried the message of the film, not about what will be sales," he says calmly always smiling and helpful Banderas, whose favorite director is Orson Welles.

Smiling Banderas corresponds to frequently asked questions in interviews : How do you feel like sexsymbol. About this role apparently never happened even though acknowledging that the attractive look of fiery lover had initially helped a lot.

He said no to Madonna herself, who forgave him then by sharing role in Evita. And he stole scenes putting voice to Shrek Puss in Boots. THE FOX. Its deeper mark in Hollywood is still, however, the Z scratched with a sword in The Mask of Zorro. But Spain is still the man always smiling, always loving, never misses a Holy Week in Malaga.

Now, as Banderas reaches a new milestone, WENN takes a look back at his life with 10 fascinating facts about the birthday boy: Banderas' father, Jose Dominguez, was an officer with Spain's military police force, the Guardia Civil.

Antonion Banderas has a new thing outside of making badass movies. He owns a badass motorcycle racing team. The team formerly known as Promoracing are part of the new class of 600cc bike that race with the premier class bike of MotoGP.

They're now called "Team Jack&Jones by Antonio Banderas", which, when you think about it, is a ridiculous name for a motorcycle racing team. Playboy sponsors a team but they don't call it, "Hugh Hefner's Nudie Brigade."

"I Hate Luv Stories" coming in at five."Heartbreaker," a romantic comedy set in France, made its debut at six while "Prince of Persia" was seventh."Death at a Funeral," a remake of the 2007 British comedy, was in eighth spot with Chris Rock and Danny Glover facing an inconvenient guest at a wake.

In his first racing year the Banderas owned the Jack & Jones team runs Spanish 125 veteran Joan Olive and impressive US rookie Kenny Noyes on Harris-framed Promo Racing machines.

He watched the race from his pit, along with an impressive security entourage. “What we have to do is establish our team in this category over the next two or three years, and the next step will be to jump to MotoGP. I think that is where we are going to end up.

The Mask Of Zorro actor chose a little scooter to get around the Catalunya Grand Prix at Montmelo, near Barcelona, Spain.

And his Puss In Boots character from Shrek would definitely not have been impressed as the star put-putted around the MotoGP event wearing a trilby.

There was no sign of his wife Melanie Griffith as he enjoyed the Spanish sunshine with some glamorous racegoers.

But given his mode of transport, that was hardly surprising. Banderas spends a lot of time in his home country and owns a half share in a winery in northern Spain.
