"Disfrutando de la naturaleza tras un pequeño susto. Enjoying nature after a startle. Besos," he tweeted.

The 56-year-old film star was working out at his home in Surrey on Thursday when he fell ill and an ambulance was called to transport him to St. Peter's Hospital in Chertsey, Us Weekly reported. It is unclear whether Banderas actually suffered a heart attack or the incident was just as scare.

The Mask of Zorro and The 33 actor, who also lends his voice to the cat character Puss in Boots in the Shrek animated franchise, was treated and released.
