Awww. Seems I have something in common with Antonio Banderas. We’re both completely sappy and unafraid to cry at movies.
BBC - Radio 1 News - Shrek 2 all too much for Antonio
Antonio Banderas, who plays ogre killer Puss in Boots in the film, was apparently so moved when he was watching it at the festival that he ended up crying and holding hands with Justin Timberlake.
He says the romantic scene at the end of the film got to him, and then he looked at JT and he was sobbing too, so they held hands for a while while Cameron looked on.
OK, so maybe he’s more of a wuss than I am. While it’s true that I will cry at the drop of a hat during even the most blatant attempts at emotional string-pulling in your average movie (think Bruce Willis saying goodbye to Liv Tyler in Armageddon fer chrissakes) and it’s also true that I am unashamed of doing so in a public theater full of strangers (really, would you walk up to me and say something snarky with as scary as I tend to look?), there’s nothing out there that is emotionally touching enough to make me hold hands with Justin Timberlake for any purpose other than to yank him in front of a fast moving train or bus.
I mean I may be sappy, but I have my limits. Now all I need to do is become rich, good looking, and famous and Antonio will have nothing over me.

I don’t care how sappy I am, there’s no way in hell I’d hold hands with Justin Timberlake. How could that be comforting? I imagine he’s got sweaty, clammy palms. Yech.
