Puss in Boots star, Antonio Banderas complained that playing Puss In Boots in the Shrek movie franchise almost completely ‘destroyed’ his vocal cords.
The Spanish actor, 62, first began working in the 1980s in his home country of Spain but became an international star during the 1990s. He first appeared as the sword-wielding Puss in 2004’s Shrek 2, the sequel to Shrek, which starred Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, and Eddie Murphy.
Puss In Boots became a sensation because the audience loved it; therefore, in 2011, Puss got his own spin-off film, which now has a sequel: The Last Wish.
Banderas looked back to his career and said it wasn’t always easy playing the cat who was modelled on his 1998 portrayal of Zorro.
Speaking with Radio Times, he said: ‘I was on Broadway singing every night and had to do sessions for Puss. [He’s] very loud; it just destroyed my vocal cords.’
At the time, Banderas was performing in the 2003 run of Nine, the 1980s Broadway musical, which went on to win five Tony awards.
The first Puss spin-off movie was released in 2011, meaning quite a time has passed since The Skin I Live In star stepped into those boots.
Banderas added that he had no trouble settling back into the role for the critically acclaimed sequel to be released in February in the UK.
‘Even if there was a gap of several years, it’s just like riding a bicycle. The only problem that I had is [destroying my vocal cords again].’
The Last Wish has been released to rave reviews from critics, some of whom have argued that the Shrek franchise is ‘only getting better with age.’
He concluded by saying, ‘The initial idea was just to mock Zorro. Now he’s very famous and known all around the world. I didn’t expect that.’
