Fans of Antonio Banderas can brief a collective sigh of relief now that the 56-year-old actor is back to his normal self after being released from the hospital following a heart scare.
Last Thursday, Banderas was exercising in his home in Surrey, England, when he began to feel agonizing pain in his chest. Someone placed a call to 999 (the British equivalent of 911) and he was rushed to St. Peter's hospital in Chertsey. According to one of his representatives, who spoke to People magazine, he was released later that same day after doctors performed some tests to confirm his good health.
Details have not been released indicating what exactly caused the Spanish actor's health scare. Banderas only mentioned that he had an "episode" and he praised the medical staff who helped him. Nonetheless, the "episode" doesn't seem to be holding Banderas back one bit. Today he posted a picture of him and his girlfriend, Nicole Pempel, enjoying nature on Twitter.
