Antonio Banderas Explains How His Girlfriend Saved His Life When He Had a Heart Attack

Antonio Banderas credits his girlfriend Nicole Kimpel with saving his life when he had a heart attack in 2017.

The 59-year-old actor says that the night before the medical emergency, Nicole happened to have purchased maximum strength aspirin for a headache.

“The night before that I had this event, my girlfriend, she had a headache and we didn’t have anything in the house. So she went out to buy something, a painkiller or whatever. She bought this aspirin, which is the only thing that she found and she found the maximum one, I think it was five milligrams,” Antonio explained on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

He continued, “The next morning, when I started having the symptoms and I clearly knew what was going on, she put one of those aspirins inside of my tongue and that saved my life. So I had a second chance, and some stuff changed in my life, since then.”
