The latest Wednesday’s episode of Claim to Fame revolved mostly around the Spanish actor Antonio Banderas, as the contestant Miguel created a false story and lied to make people believe he was Banderas’s nephew.
Miguel, who did not perform well the previous week, successfully fooled people with his extraordinarily cunning plans, proving he is the real deal in the show.
As per Entertainment Weekly, Raphael Curtis, aka Miguel, used fake names in the house to make people think he was more Spanish.

As this week was set to have double elimination, the actor played a massive game with the help of another enlisted contestant, Dedrick, to convince people that the Mask of Zorro star Antonio Banderas is his relative.
The surprising thing is that their plan worked out. Jill, the night’s first guesser, chose her target, Miguel, and confirmed that he was Antonio Banderas’s nephew.
However, she was wrong and then got eliminated after it was confirmed that Miguel was Jamie Lee’s nephew. On the other hand, when Miguel safely returned to his seat, Dedrick and he burst out laughing, realizing how wonderfully their plan worked.
Javier is the real-life nephew of Spanish actor and filmmaker Antonio Banderas!
National Film Award-winning actor Antonio Banderas has a nephew named Javier. However, little information is available about Javier, as he maintains a very low-key life.
His first appearance in the media was with his Uncle Antonio Banderas and his then-wife Melanie Griffith at the 2011 NCLR ALMA Awards at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium.
In the picture, Javier looked like a teenager, so as of 2024, he must be an adult by now, given it’s been 14 long years already.

However, in the Claim to Fame show, Jill and Gracie Lou got into Miguel’s scheme and thought he might be related to the Puss in Boots actor Antonio Banderas, which led to their elimination from the show.
