Antonio Banderas revealed he tested positive for COVID-19 on his 60th birthday. The actor revealed this in the screenshot of a note which he posted via his Twitter account.
“I want to make public that today, Aug. 10, I have to celebrate my 60th birthday following quarantine; having tested positive for the COVID-19 disease, caused by the coronavirus,” Banderas said in a statement he wrote in Spanish on Monday.
The Pain and Glory star 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.
