ANTONIO BANDERAS
His Timeless, Off-The-Charts Sex Appeal
Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!, a film about a person with a mental health condition taking a porn star prisoner starring a young Antonio Banderas, and like anything he does, he was so sexy. When he starred in the comedy thriller Law of Desire, about a gay director and an obsessive fan or a cold-blooded yet fun-loving assassin, he is sexy. Is it his voice? Yes. Is it his body? Yes. Is it the way he can act? Yes. Is it his eyes? Yes. Is it the way he moves? Yes. Not to be overly enthusiastic, but that is a big yes regarding everything we love about Antonio Banderas.
He broke into acting in Spain after leaving a soccer career due to a broken foot. Antonio Banderas was essentially discovered by and then directed many times by Pedro Almodovar. Almodovar nurtured him into a wonderful actor capable of any role. Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! made him an international sensation. We have included the Original Sin trailer with his co-star Angelina Jolie. The film opened to mixed reviews but is super sexy, with the two leads exuding mystery, steamy sexiness, dark motives, and more sexiness. There is also another clip we added of a beat-up Antonio from Assassins, as he takes a bath to soothe his wounds and simultaneously angrily reports a failed assassination to his boss on a laptop that is a perfect Antonio performance.
He won the Oscar for Pain and Glory at age sixty, which was, surprise, directed by Pedro Almodovar and featured Pedro’s other homegrown international star, actress Penelope Cruz. What more can we say? He can make an animated character, Puss in Boots, sexy as he was as Zorro. Antonio Banderas is a brilliant actor with sex appeal off the charts.
