Antonio Banderas is making a major career shift. The 54-year-old actor, who starred in movies like "The Mask of Zorro", and is featured as the voice of PussNBoots in the Shrek movies, has decided jump into this new profession. Details here.

 

Antonia Banderas will be joining the long list of celebrities who have become fashion designers.

Banderas announced the surprising news during an appearance on the British talk show "Loose Women," and explained that he will be moving to London to start his journey in clothing design.

“It’s something that has been on my mind for a long time and probably one of the best schools in the world is here, Saint Martins University, and so I am going to start studying with them,” he said on the program according to The Huffington Post.

“I need knowledge to take steps in that territory in the future. It makes me feel actually very young to put the elbows on the table again and try to understand another reality and another thing," he said.

It's unclear whether Banderas aspires to design a womenwear or menswear collection, but his personal style is pretty sharp. If you love him in the movies, fear not. The actor definitely isn't quitting his day job. He told the show, “Of course I won’t stop my professional life, I’ll continue acting, directing, but this is a new thing."

Look forward to seeing his spring collection in early 2016.
