London, April 12 (ANI): Spanish actor Antonio Banderas has praised his wife Melanie Griffith for the courage she has shown in her ongoing battle with addiction.
Banderas, 49, had married Griffith, 52, in 1996, but their marriage was rocked in 2007 when the actress became dependent on prescription pills, which she was given after a skiing accident.
The actress was admitted to rehab in 2009 and has now kicked her drug habit.
Banderas admits it's a daily struggle for his wife to stay clean", but he's proud she has overcome her problems
"(She) was and is an addict. Her problem was the pills she took after an accident when she had been clean for many years. It is a struggle she handles very well," the Daily Star quoted her as saying.
"It is a battle she's keeping up because she's a very cheerful and strong woman," he added. (ANI)
