Antonio Banderas - from actor to fashion designer?

London - Antonio Banderas has swapped film for fashion, or at least temporarily.

The Mask of Zorro star is studying at Central Saint Martins, the London college that trained designers such as Stella McCartney and Alexander McQueen.

This week, Banderas tweeted a picture of himself surrounded by dressmaker's dummies and the words: "The 2nd week of studies at Central St Martin begins. Intense, exciting, serious and fun all the same time."

The college confirmed on Thursday that the actor is taking a specially crafted short course in fashion. The course lasts several weeks and is due to end before full-time students return in October.

The 55-year-old Spanish actor told a British TV show earlier this year that he aspired to study fashion.

His recent roles include the villain in The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge out of Water.
