Antonio Banderas reveals he tested positive for COVID-19 on 60th birthday
Antonio Banderas revealed he tested positive for COVID-19 on his 60th birthday.
"I want to make public that today, Aug. 10, I am obligated to celebrate my 60th birthday following quarantine, having tested positive for the COVID disease, caused by the coronavirus," the "Pain and Glory" star said in a statement written in Spanish on Monday.
He added that he's doing "relatively well" and is "only a little more tired than usual." Banderas said he is "confident" he will recover soon by following the advice of medical professionals.
"I will take advantage of this isolation by reading, writing, resting and continuing to make plans to start giving meaning to my 60 years, which I arrive at full of illusion and joy," he concluded. "A big hug to all."
The Oscar-nominated actor shared the statement alongside a black-and-white photo presumably of himself as a baby.
