Antonio Banderas says Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie should just "try their best" when they welcome their twins later this month.

The 'Shrek' actor - who has an 11-year-old daughter Stella and stepchildren Alexander, 23, and 18-year-old Dakota with wife Melanie Griffith - has advised the couple to make sure they are prepared for the impending arrivals.

Antonio Banderas insists he will never leave his wife Melanie Griffith. The "Shrek The Third" star, who exchanged vows with Melanie in 1996, has laughed off rumors his marriage is in trouble.

Antonio told Closer magazine: "When we met each other we just fell in love and went for it. We both came from failing relationships and I think we both learned from that.

Antonio Banderas refuses to spoil his children. The Hollywood actor says he and his wife Melanie Griffith make sure their kids know "the world is not Hollywood."

He said: "I don't give them whatever they ask for. They have to earn it. I tell the kids the world is not Hollywood. I've taken them to Mexico and Argentina when I've been making movies there so they could see how kids in different countries live. They've seen the shanty towns.
