Antonio Banderas Shares Throwback Photo from His Schoolboy Days: 'A Look Back to Class'
An Instagram post from his former school included more photos of a young Banderas, including one of him posing for a portrait with an academic backdrop
Antonio Banderas is throwing it back to the '60s.
The Babygirl star shared a photo from his school days as a child to Instagram on Thursday, Jan. 16, when he attended the El Divino Pastor School in Malaga, Spain, formerly called El Buen Pastor.
In the black-and-white image taken during the 1966-1967 school year, Banderas, now 64, is one of the only students looking up at the camera, wearing what appears to be a smirk, as his classmates appear deeply entrenched in their schoolwork.
"A look back to class," the actor captioned his photo, crediting the school. "Good luck to those of you who are taking exams."
