Antonio Banderas Reveals How Love Blossomed With Melanie Griffith

In the early 1990s, Antonio Banderas was on the rise in Hollywood. He was already a familiar face in Spain, but his international career was just taking off. It was then, during the filming of Two Much, that he met Melanie Griffith, an actress with a solid career and a member of one of the most renowned families in American cinema.

Both played out a romantic entanglement in fiction, but what few knew is that the chemistry was not limited to the script. "When we met, we were both married, but our marriages weren't working," Antonio Banderas admitted in an interview. This confession, made years after their separation, has brought the spotlight back to how a relationship began that would shape their lives.

Unlike other on-set romances that fade after "cut," theirs only grew stronger. "Sometimes, when you're filming, you get infatuated with the person you're working with, it's almost normal," he began to explain.

However, he acknowledged that, although it is common, it usually disappears when filming ends. "But when you finish the movie and go home, in a couple of days you forget about it and return to your normal life. But, in this case, it wasn't like that," the actor explained.

Days went by and the attraction did not fade. What began as a connection on set turned into a story that went far beyond the professional. "It was two days, two weeks, two months, the phone... So we had to take action and be honest with our lives," Banderas confessed.

The emotional involvement of both was total, and Melanie Griffith would take a private plane just to be with him for a few minutes. "She was filming a movie in Seattle with Sylvester Stallone, she would take it just to see us for an hour and then fly back to Los Angeles. We were crazy," he said, hinting at the extent that passion reached.
