Antonio Banderas knows who the real star is in his Super Bowl spot. Believe it or not, Antonio Banderas finds shooting commercials harder than filming movies. “I’ve done a lot of commercials in my life, it’s a little bit more difficult to do a commercial than to do a movie because you are attached to a product, which is actually a star,” he told CNN in a recent interview. “The star should be the product, not you…and so you have to actually know how to sell.” The “Babygirl” actor is attempting to do some selling in German company Bosch’s first ever Super Bowl ad. The company, which sells a range of appliances in addition to other products, paired Banderas with an actor portraying the late wrestler Randy “The Macho Man” Savage for a bit of fun. “It was at that time that I learned the importance of that moment for commercials,” he said. “I think it was [Steven] Spielberg himself [who was one of the ‘Zorro’ producers] saying that it was like the Oscars of the commercials.” The star said he had great fun filming the new ad as improvisation was welcomed (“I ended up even barking at some point”), adding that the role impressed a special someone in his life.
