Banderas, Hayek Purr on "Puss" at the Cannes Festival

 Getting more aged in Hollywood and Hispanic, there is no longer has limitations that they were once, say, Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek.

After all, they ask, when to have Hispanic actors never landed these roles feline big as the leads in the adventure of animation "Puss in Boots"?

"When I started to, Hispanic roles were very limited," Hayek said Wednesday at the Cannes Festival, where she and Banderas joins DreamWorks Animation supervisors to show images of "Puss in boots", a spin off "shrek" from November of this year. "The roles were very limited." There are one or two types of characters that you used to do. Now, we come to play cats! It's OK to be a Hispanic, even if you are a cat. ?

"Cats were British, normally," Banderas added at a session of questions and answers with Hayek, after the projected film.

"I feel very proud, in fact," Banderas said of his role in the expansion of the types of open to performers Hispanic. "I never claimed when I went to Hollywood to be a guy from Oklahoma." I am what I am. And fortunately, the Spanish community of the United States has increased in the past 22 years that I was there. There has been an explosion in Hollywood, which is a reflection of the society in which we live. ?

After that the images showed, Banderas and Hayek lead a pier along the Mediterranean beach, where they pose for photos on a giant pair of boots bearing the title of the film.

Banderas repeated his role as voice of the three latest "shrek" movies, providing the voice of Puss in boots, the small cat with big heart, big ideas and the largest ego.

A prequel chronicling the adventures of the Puss before meeting Shrek the ogre, the film has the cat as an outlaw, seeking to draw out big score.

But his plan is interrupted by another calculation cat, Kitty Softpaws (doubled by Hayek), who is in League with pal-turned-foe Humpty Dumpty of Puss (Zach Galifianakis), as they try to drag the Beanstalk in the fairy tale "Jack and the Beanstalk" bandits terrible Jack and Jill (Billy Bob Thornton and Amy Sedaris).

Age is another obstacle Hollywood Banderas and Hayek feel they have circumvented.

Banderas yelled proudly age 50, while Hayek, 44, said that this is the best time of his career, with four films in the works of this year and the work more enjoyable than ever.

"What makes you feel old is when you're not enthusiastic of life." You're not more excited about what you do, and you may not do as well, "said Hayek. "I think my body beginning to-as I need glasses now when I read my scripts." I wear them, but I am happy for the porter and happy that I get always read my scripts.

"So it was not so bad." They are afraid of me. They told me, ' forget it. 30, It is finished for you. "And it was not the case. It's great age in Hollywood. ?
