Dakota Johnson had the good fortune to grow up in a loving home with her biological parents and Antonio Banderas as her stepfather, who was instrumental in introducing her to the movie industry.
Despite her parents’ divorce, Johnson’s relationship with Banderas remained cordial, and he became a significant influence in her life. Johnson thanked her “bonus dad” for his constant support as she achieved professional success. Even the most cynical people can’t help but feel moved by the stepfather’s and stepdaughter’s obvious love and respect for one another.
Dakota Johnson once expressed her gratitude to Antonio Banderas, whom she refers to as her “bonus dad” and whom she values as one of the most important individuals in her life. Johnson was fortunate to have Banderas enter her life when he met her mother, Melanie Griffith, during the production of the movie Two Much.
Johnson comes from a family of several marriages. Banderas joined Griffith and Griffith’s two children from prior relationships as soon as possible.
The love between Dakota Johnson and Antonio Banderas
According to Dakota Johnson, Banderas fit into the family dynamic with ease, and his adoring attitude towards their mother had a significant influence on the kids. They began to refer to him as “Paponio,” a blend of “Papi” and “Antonio,” as they came to think of him as a second father over time.
Johnson attributes her stepfather’s addition of some Spanish vibrancy to their already contented life. She does, however, stress that one of the most important aspects of Banderas’ function as a parental figure was that he also instilled in the kids a sense of discipline.
Stella, the family’s second daughter, was born in 1996, making Banderas a father of three at once. Alexander and Dakota started to express their individuality as they approached puberty, but their stepfather was steadfast in his function as a parent figure. Banderas understood that protecting them from harm was more important than being their buddy.
