Antonio Banderas Indulges In Italy

Antonio Banderas looked to be enjoying too much of the good life in Italy — as The National ENQUIRER caught the heartthrob putting on some pounds!

Antonio is attending the Ischia Global Festival with his young love Nicole Kimpel — and, despite suffering a heart attack in January, the screen star seems to be getting out of shape!

That's after Antonio rushed off to a secret clinic in Switzerland in a bid to save his life — visiting a super-exclusive facility where the treatments include stem-cell replacement therapy not available in the United States.

But while his ex-wife Melanie Griffith has traveled to Germany for her own exotic treatments, Antonio seems to be putting off his own health regime — except for plenty of dancing with 37-year-old Nicole, who's 19 years younger than Antonio.  

And the actor has at least made one big health change after his scary start to the year: “If there is something good that came from all of this, it is that I suddenly stopped smoking — without needing pills or anything like that!”
