Melanie Griffith: Antonio was there for me

Melanie Griffith has said that her husband Antonio Banderas was very supportive during her struggle with ill health.

The actress entered rehab last August to address what she has called a 30-year-old substance abuse problem. Melanie discussed Banderas’s support at the opening of the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City on Wednesday.

“He has been an amazing man. He did everything,” Griffith told People.

Banderas added that his wife’s recovery was tough but it made them stronger as a couple. “The entire family participated in the process of rehabilitation. We went to the place where she was doing it, we participated in all the therapies,” he said.

Griffith stint in rehab marked the third time the actress had pursued help for drugs & alcohol.
