Pass the Champagne darling! Melanie Griffith, Antonio Banderas and Jane Fonda discuss Cannes over lunch

When they’re not walking down the red carpet, the celebrity guests of Cannes Film Festival can be spotted lunching at exclusive restaurants like this one.

Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas were joined by Jane Fonda at the Eden Rock Restaurant, where they soaked up the sun and laughed over lunch during their break from the festival.

This week Griffith and Banderas, who have been married for 15 years, enjoyed the premiere of Midnight in Paris during Cannes.

And the 53-year-old actress and 50-year-old actor showed their love for each other is still as strong as ever, as they playfully laughed with each other during lunch.

It seemed to be an all-white affair too, with most of the guests wearing their finest light ensembles at the exclusive eatery.

Banderas has also been busy during Cannes Film Festival by promoting his new film Puss In Boots.

He was snapped at a photo call this week with his co-star Salma Hayek, who wowed in a burnt orange Gucci dress.

Banderas has made an effort to dress casually during the event though and on top of wearing jeans to the photo call, he also wore a simple grey T-shirt to eat with his wife and Jane Fonda.

Having a dance? The Spanish-born heartthrob appeared to be dancing at the restaurant - perhaps the Tango?

Meanwhile, 73-year-old Fonda put on a spectacular show on the red carpet this week by showing off her amazing figure in a skin-tight white Emilio Pucci gown.

Her stunning figure isn’t all down to her fitness DVDs though and she has admitted to boosting her assets through cosmetic surgery.

Fonda had breast implants in the 1970s, as well as having surgery on her chin, neck and under her eyes last year.

And her friend Melanie Griffith is no stranger to surgery herself, but her husband has always been adamant that he wants to her grow old gracefully.

The Spanish-born star has said in the past: ‘Hollywood stars are not supposed to be perfection. I don’t believe in perfection. I think it is a mistake.

‘I said to her [Melanie], ‘I want to see you growing old and I will grow old with you too, and I don’t care.’ I like her the way she is. Wrinkles are beautiful.’
