Antonio Banderas cool with teenage daughter dating

Hollywood actor Antonio Banderas is cool with his daughter Stella's dating at the age of 13.

"My daughter, at 13 years, is way more mature than me,” People.com quoted him as saying.

Describing the teen as "very selective, she knows exactly what she wants", Banderas added, "I'm not going to jump (in) unless there is (something) that's going to damage her."

The 49-year-old star also wants Stella, his youngest child with wife Melanie Griffith, to experience both the good and the bad.

"Her heart is going to be broken sometimes, and she has to learn from those things too. It's called 'life'. She has to live that herself," he said.
