Spanish actor Banderas says he has COVID-19

The Spanish actor Antonio Banderas said on Monday that he's tested positive for COVID-19, and is in quarantine.

In a post on Twitter, he said : "I'd like to add that I'm feeling relatively well, just a bit more tired than usual, and confident that I will recover as soon as possible."

The star of "The Mask of Zorro" and dozens of other films made the announcement on his 60th birthday, adding that he'd reached the age, quote: "full of desire and aspirations."

Banderas said he would use his time in quarantine to read, write, rest and make plans for the future.

With a career spanning more than 100 movies, Banderas was nominated for his first Oscar in 2020 for playing a film director reflecting on his life choices in Pedro Almodovar's autobiographical movie "Pain and Glory."
