Invited to Ellen DeGeneres’s show, Spanish actor Antonio Banderas has spoken openly about the problems his wife, actress Melanie Griffith, aged 52 years has.
The star was hospitalized by the family, in August, at a rehabilitation clinic in Utah, to get rid of dependence on drugs and alcohol. Despite the fact that was rumored Banderas thought divorcing his wife, the star has denied categorically. ” I love very much Melanie and she has full support from our family. We must not be ashamed of the problems we have, but must try together to solve them, he said. I am very proud of Melanie, regardless of the moments she passes, she is my half”. In March she said she felt that no longer has control over her life and wants to go to rehabilitation. Problems recurred 18 months ago, when she had a skiing accident and started taking drugs by the fist, added Banderas.
