“To create this character I had to kill Antonio Banderas.
Antonio Banderas has described how he had “to kill” his former self to play the role of an ageing film director modelled on Pedro Almodóvar for the latter’s new film, which has premiered at Cannes.
“I couldn’t believe when I read this script that he [Almodóvar] was calling me to act his character.
I told him I was at his service to find the truth and start from scratch.”
