I din't know Banderas much outside his films but he seems like an absolute joy to be around! Wonderful interview

[NatGeo]

Bold sketches from both Banderas and Colbert; taking on Picasso’s art style while being timed is no simple task! 🖊 We love hearing about how the role of Picasso informed Antonio, just as his masterful portrayal in Genius: Picasso impacted us.

See how beautifully he's aging? Just sitting there, looking fine & letting us enjoy his lovely accent...

Great to see Banderas, lovely guy. We all get older folks, he’s still handsome and moreover has an awesome personality

[claytonis]

His voice just soothes my soul. I also want to re-watch Zorro now.

There’s an even more well known story about Picasso. During the Spanish civil war the city of Guernica was bombed by the condor legion, an event Picasso painted. At a showing a German diplomat said, wine in hand, words close to “who is responsible for this horror, ” to which Picasso said “you are.” That would have been nice to see.

Antonio screaming „It’s a Picasso!” after drawing Stephen, is probably the sweetest moment ever aired on this show 😊

[totalt]

The life of Picasso is certainly a heck of a story.

[Patizm]

He deserves everything! A brilliant human being 🙂

[serbowdster]

Even though he’s a few years older now. I’d still part with my money for another zorro film. Nobody will ever play that role any better than the legend that is Antonio Banderas.

I am a painter, and very happy to see an actor like Antonio portray an artistic genius like Pablo Picasso. I approve!

Stephen Colbert is just getting better and better. A great interview in equal part down to Antonio being who he is and Stephen letting us find that out by giving him the space to talk. Perfect.

Finally a guest we can lean something from as against the hordes of people who have nothing to say but tell stories about their kids

[lizallen]
