The "Material Girl" famously flaunted her crush on Banderas in her outrageous documentary "In Bed With Madonna" released 1991. The documentary saw her flirting with a shy Banderas at a party in Spain.
However, the actor admits he gets nervous in Madonna's presence because he couldn't speak English.
"I couldn't speak English at the time. She said a lot of things at the table when we were having dinner - I couldn't understand s**t. I was just flipping out that I was sitting down close to Madonna. She was very famous already, and we were just local people," contactmusic.com quoted the 50-year-old as saying.
"It was kind of flattering when somebody said, 'She likes you, a lot.' I said, 'Oh, really? I've no idea what I should do about this. I mean, I'm married (to first wife, Ana Leza).' So, nothing happened. I was afraid of it at the time, because she was a very powerful woman. I didn't want to be Madonna's boy. For good or for bad, I just wanted to have my own career," he added.
