Spanish film star Antonio Banderas says he has recovered from a heart attack that he had in January.

The 56-year-old Banderas tells Spanish media that “I suffered a heart attack on January 26, but it wasn’t serious and hasn’t caused any damage.”

Banderas says he underwent a procedure to introduce three stents in his arteries, adding that “it hasn’t been as dramatic as some have written.”

Banderas’ recent visit to a Swiss clinic had led to speculation about the health of the star known for roles in such films such as Zorro, Desperado and Philadelphia.

Banderas spoke on Saturday at a film festival in his hometown of Malaga in southern Spain, where he received a lifetime achievement award for his career as an actor, director and producer.
