Antonio Banderas has tested positive for COVID-19, the “Mask of Zorro” star revealed in a tweet on Monday.
The actor, who is celebrating his 60th birthday Monday, captioned a lengthy note to his fans, “Quiero contaros lo siguiente…,” which translates in English to, “I want to tell you all the following …”
In the note written in Spanish, he shared that he is in quarantine because he tested positive for coronavirus.
The “Desperado” star also said, “I would like to add that I find myself relatively well, only a bit more tired than usual and confident that I will recuperate as soon as possible by following the medical instructions that I hope will help me overcome the infectious process that I am suffering and that has affected so many others around the planet.”
Banderas concluded by sharing that he plans to spend his downtime during quarantine reading, writing, resting and continuing to make plans to give “significance” to his newly entered 60th year of life, which are filled with “desires” and “illusions.”
In a message to his fans, he wrote, “Un fuerte abrazo a todos,” which means, “A firm hug to everyone.”
Banderas joins a long list of celebrities that have tested positive for COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic, including Idris Elba, Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Andy Cohen and more.
