Spanish hunk and Hollywood star Antonio Banderas, who is in Bulgaria with Morgan Freeman to shoot the movie "The Code", sensationally shared with local journalists his dream to be a woman for one day.

Morgan Freeman, however, said he is just fine because he has enough problems the way he is now.

"I did not have the time to tour Bulgaria because we are shooting all the time," Antonio Banderas said at the first joint press conference of the movie crew in Sofia.

The movie star said he liked the local cuisine, but admitted he failed to remember the names of the dishes.

"I love my job and I love to be in front of the camera. If you are a real actor and love what you are doing, you will never stop," Banderas said.

He shared he prefers to do low-budget movies because less money "means more freedom".

In "The Code" Banderas and Freeman play two artful jewellery thieves, who have set their sight on Faberge eggs, owned by a NY collector of Russian origin.

"We are working with excellent professionals in Bulgaria," Banderas said.

The shooting of the crime drama, which is production of the US moviemaker Nu Image, started two months ago in New York. The movie is being directed by Mimi Leder ("The Peacemaker", "Pilot", The Tunnel").

A total of 12 Bulgarian actors play together with the two Hollywood stars, Deyan Donkov, Zahari Baharov and Velizar Binev among them.

Banderas will stay in Bulgaria until the end of the shooting in December.
