Antonio Banderas just wants his daughter to be loved and to be happy.

Banderas shared that he's very happy with Stella's decision since he loves her fiancé and has known him since he was a kid.
"My daughter Stella is getting married," said Banderas in the show, as reported by our sister website HOLA! Spain. "I'm happy because I really like who she's marrying. He used to come to my house to play when he was three or four years old since the two went to the same preschool."
"All I want is for my daughter to be loved, and he loves her a lot, and that's all that matters to me. I don't care about anything else. The wedding can be as simple as possible. We'll see if they make me a grandfather soon, we'll see!"

Banderas also discussed more serious topics, like the Los Angeles fires. While he was safe in Spain, his daughter and part of his family were in Los Angeles when the fires raged for almost a month and had to leave their homes to escape the danger.
"I've had a bad time. It's been very tough," said Banderas.

"Homes there are not built like they are in Madrid, which are made out of bricks. Because those materials, with earthquakes, would collapse," he concluded.
