Banderas is nominated for Best Actor at this year’s awards ceremony, for his performance in Pedro Almodovar’s 2019 Spanish film Pain and Glory.
Upon hearing the news, Hayek – who has co-starred with Banderas in at least six films, including Once Upon a Time in Mexico and 2002’s Frida – shared a throwback photo from their time working on 1995’s Desperado.
“After 20 years of knowing you, it’s great to see that you’re still thriving, congratulations on your Oscar nomination @antoniobanderas,” she wrote on Instagram.
Banderas also posted his own reaction to being nominated, explaining how important it is to him to be representing Spanish cinema.
“Very happy for the nominations,” he wrote, alongside a collage of photos featuring him and his director Almodovar. “This is very important to me, for Spanish cinema and for all Spanish language cinema. Thank you so much for your kind words!”
