BANDERAS WANTS TO BE A WOMAN....

Antonio Banderas would like to be a woman, for a day anyway, to better understand the "fairer" sex.

At a press conference in the Bulgarian capital Sofia, where he and Morgan Freeman are shooting heist movie "The Code," the Spaniard suggested he might swap places with his director.

"I would like to be a woman, just to give it a try and maybe understand them a little bit better," he said, when asked who else he would like to be for a day.

"But I don't know which one. May be Mimi, just to understand what she is going through," he joked, referring to The Code director Mimi Leder.

Freeman was less adventurous.

"Nobody," he replied in answer to the same question. "I have my own problems."
