Dakota Johnson and Antonio Banderas: a model (extended) family
Extended families are constantly increasing, in Italy there are more than a million and they are revolutionizing the concept of family. These are rather delicate situations which, despite the variable settling times, can function like, or rather, traditional families. To prove it to us are the actress Dakota Johnson and her stepfather, indeed, bonus dad, Antonio Banderas.
On Sunday 3 October, during the 23rd edition of the Film Hollywood Awards, Zorro's performer was awarded Best Actor for his role in the latest film by Pedro Almodóvar, Pain and Glory. The award was given to him by Dakota, preceded by sweet words dedicated to the man who was her father.
When Antonio married Melanie Griffith in 1995, from whom he then divorced in 2015 but remained, however, on excellent terms, Dakota, born from the previous marriage between Melanie and Don Johnson, was 6 years old and was raised by Banderas with the same affection and the same care usually reserved for a biological daughter.
Below is a video that shows you some examples of VIP extended families to be considered a model in their "diversity".
Dakota's sweet words: "I got a bonus dad"
"I come from a family with many marriages behind me and I was very lucky", Dakota explained, talking about her relationship with Antonio Banderas. "I had a bonus dad and I realized that, over time, she has actually become one of the most influential people in my life. When I was six, my mother married a man who brought an incredibly bright light into our family. , a completely new world of creativity and culture and an extraordinary little sister ”.
"He still calls me dad"exclaimed a visibly excited Antonio, who used the adjective "grandiose" to describe his experience as an extended family. The actor has always claimed to have two daughters: Stella, born during his marriage to Melanie and, of course, Dakota.

There is not just one family, but many, different and equally beautiful
It is true, not everyone can have the luck that has happened to this family that, in its unconventional being, is a model, but it is nice to think that it can happen, that, instead of using terms like "stepmother", "stepfather", " stepdaughter / or "," stepsister "or" stepbrother ", which are sometimes derogatory, you can try to adopt the expression bonus, as something positive, which enriches. The family is no longer a static concept, on the contrary, it is constantly evolving and certainly does not end with the end of a marriage. You can be a family in a thousand different ways, each one however special.
