Antonio Banderas's stepdaughter Dakota Johnson is a star in her own right - but now daughter Stella is looking to make her mark on Hollywood too, he reveals

FILM IS A FAMILY BUSINESS

You might think Oscarnominated actor Antonio Banderas, a star of stage and screen for over four decades, would be supremely confident when it comes to his craft.

But as he reveals exclusively to HELLO!, he still takes the time to practise his lines and who better to help him do so than his A-list stepdaughter, Dakota Johnson? She has even offered her "Papi" some acting tips.

"I was preparing a character and I said: 'Dakota, can you just read this for me?" he recalls.

"She said: 'Okay, Papi, but be careful of that I think you're going a little too far." When we speak to the star, 64, he has just arrived in Madrid from his base in Malaga ahead of this week's premiere of his production of classic musical Gypsy.
