    Born in Málaga, Spain, Antonio Banderas's goal in life was clear from a
young age—to become a professional soccer player. When Banderas was
fourteen years old, however, he broke his foot, and the injury prevented him
from playing soccer again.     

    While his foot was healing, Banderas attended a play at a local theater and
was fascinated. In fact, after seeing that one performance, Banderas set a new
goal for himself: to become an actor. He enrolled in acting school and then
joined a local theater group. However, his parents disapproved of these
activities. They wanted a more traditional career for their son. Nevertheless,
Banderas refused to be discouraged.
