According to Independent Patrick H.J. Smith, Banderas pulled up his pant leg to show the scar he still had.

“The kick stand got me here. Blood everywhere. You could see the bone.”

The interview was to promote the new movie he’s appearing in, Pedro Almodovar’s Pain and Glory, where he plays a gay man.

Banderas has played quite a few gay roles in his career, including Law of Desire in 1987 and Philadelphia in 1993.

“I’ve played gay characters for a long time and have always tried to be very respectful to the gay community,” he said.

“I’m an actor. I just play the character and try to believe them completely when I’m doing them. I try not to perform them; I try to live them.”

“But, you know, I’m not Zorro, either. I have never been heroic. I run away!”
