Things You (Probably) Don't Know About Antonio Banderas

Antonio Banderas's accent has been making us swoon since he started acting back in 1982. His latest film, "The 33," is based on the real-life rescue of 33 miners trapped underground for 69 days. Before catching the movie, sit back, relax, and enjoy some little-known, fun facts about the actor

Banderas had to learn English phonetically when he moved to the U.S. to become a Hollywood actor.

You'll never catch Banderas doing the laundry. He hates it.

Banderas received an honorary doctorate in 2000 from Dickinson College in Pennsylvania.

Banderas originally wanted to be a professional soccer player -- until he ended up with a broken foot at 14.

Like other celebrities, Banderas has his own line of men's and women’s fragrances. Unlike other celebrities, Banderas personally smells each fragrance to make sure he approves of them.

Banderas also sings! He was featured on British singer Michael Ball’s 2003 album “A Love Story.”

Banderas owns 50% of the Anta Banderas winery in Spain. In 2012, he introduced his own line of Spanish wines.
