Actor Antonio Banderas is used to breaking bones, and it always seems to happen when he's (1) doing sport. In the film Play it to the Bone he (2) plays the part of a middleweight boxer alongside Woody Harrelson. (3) During the making of the film Harrelson (4) kept complaining that the fight (5) scenes weren't very convincing, so one day he suggested that he and Banderas should have a fight for real. The Spanish actor wasn't (6) keen on the idea at first, but he was (7) eventually persuaded by his co-star to put on his gloves and climb into the boxing ring. However, when he realized how seriously his (8) opponent was taking it all, he began to regret his decision to fight. And then in the third round, Harrelson hit Banderas (9) so hard in the face that he actually broke his nose. His wife, actress Melanie Griffith, was furious that he had been playing "silly macho games". "She was right," confesses Banderas, "and I was a fool to (10) take a risk like that in the middle of a movie."
He was (11) reminded of the time he broke his leg during a football match in his native Malaga. He had always (12) dreamed of becoming a soccer star, of performing in front of a big crowd, but doctors told him his playing days were probably over. "That's when I decided to take (13) up acting; I saw it as (14) another way of performing, and achieving recognition. What happened to me on that football (15) pitch was, you might say, my first lucky break."
