Washington, May 20 : Antonio Banderas recently admitted that he is privileged to have lent his voice to a character in the animated "Shrek" films, especially because English isn't his first language.
Antonio is the voice for the Puss in Boots character in the animated film.
The 46-year-old star confessed that he was felt honoured when film executives decided his Spanish tones were ideal for the role.
"The fact that I arrived in this country without knowing a word in English and that years later they call on me only for my voice makes me feel proud," Contactmusic quoted Banderas, as saying.
Besides lending his voice, the 'Philadelphia' star also gets to sing in the new movie.
He and Eddie Murphy, who voices Donkey, have recorded a version of the 1970s soul classic, "Thank You," by Sly and the Family Stone, which plays at the end if the film.
