Barry Norman interviews Anthony Hopkins

[@Jonesy-q1p]

I could watch him forever.

[@Jiskpirate]

Love this actor, his little twists in his face speak so much, it's almost like a 300 page book being read aloud in 3 seconds.

[@ManCave1972]

The Bounty is a cracking film and among the best performances of the great Hopkins. Complex, unsettling, morally uncertain. A great performance.

[@millimetreperfect]

A real treat. Thank you. We will miss Mr Norman

[@amyclarke41]

i agree he said it like it was without wing everything , mr ross woould know

[@MondoBeno]

Ian McKellen said "after 50 years as the greatest actor in England, Anthony Hopkins will be remembered as a cannibal, but I'll be immortalized as an action figure."

[@MalAnders94]

Should it be the other way around?

[@ATOK_]

I think he is the greatest actor in the world

[@joeletaxi821]

One of the greatest character performances of all time.

[@pikeflowed]

It was the IMPACT of the part that legitimized the Oscar, (*and its cultural /film significance*) not just the length. And what an amazing actor Sir Anthony Hopkins is and with a superb body of work ! :)

[@ThatGirlAafia]

Great clip, thank you.

[@platogenova9573]

Wonderful interview

[@theindividualizt]

Such a humble man and great actor!

[@mysticalstalker7524]

Hes a fucking genius ..

[@woodgirl69]

Lovely. Thank you for this upload. 😊

[@borregalesandres]

I love the fact that he mention psychoanalysis as a form of therapy process lived throughout his career.

[@evonneokafor]

RIP Barry

[@keeperofthecheese]

If somebody asked me who was the most natural actor in the world I would be hard pressed to not say Anthony Hopkins.

[@jamesdrynan]

Very modest gentleman who happens to be hugely talented.

[@nicolesong6199]

11:30 'understated sexuality' of Anthony Hopkins... where did he read that? I'm not surprised, though.

[@kevinoconnor4102]

what I love about this is that Barry Norman lets the spotlight sign on Sir Anthony Hopkins. Compare this with Ametican television hosts where the emphasis is on the interviewer and never the guests. Take Kimmell for example.

[@37Dionysos]

Hopkins was the best Othello I ever saw, but you'll have to dig to find it, for the BBC doesn't like people enjoying things unless they pay through the nose.

Barry Norman interviews Anthony Hopkins

[@reptongeek]

Watching Hugh Grant in The Remains of the Day makes me wish he hadn't been typecasting himself after Four Weddings and a Funeral. Because he is a fine actor

[@tcsl7764]

Probably it wasn't actually his choice. Most likely, it was all he was offered.

[@nicolesong6199]

lol just... *is flattered* *does a marlon brando impression*

[@bslomof-1901]

No, Sir Anthony, you're definetly not "thick."

[@BLTKellys]

Remains of the Day character was far more interesting than Lecter to me.

[@gavinbrando8255]

Agree completely. Lecter was great for his career and was a great film but Remains of the Day was something that stuck with me and made me watch again and again

[@godaz7777]

0.27/1990 -?

[@godaz7777]

2. Bob Seger - Shakedown

[@nicolesong6199]

the remains of day -- he still looks like a very sinister Lecter.

[@nicolesong6199]

Oh he hadn't even gotten Hannibal 2001 yet. Why wait until 2001 to make a sequel? Or is it more of a 'let's see how the movie is received then we'll make plans'. Not like the Harry Potter movies, where they come every year.

[@nicolesong6199]

**It turns out Hannibal wasn't written until 1999. Nevermind.

[@MrBartleby451]

I could never bring myself to look Norman. He really is a dreadful interviewer and slightly pompous in his view of movies he didn't agree with.

I like Anthony Hopkins. He's been in some good films but in the Silence of the Lambs, sorry but he was as frightening as Bambi. The part when he says 'I'll eat your liver' was as scary as watching a Tom and Jerry cartoon. All in all, crap. It's probably his most unconvincing performance in my view. It sucked and so did the movie.

[@LibertyWaxlips]

Lecter is not supposed to be scary in the sense of a slasher villain, you big fat dummy.

[@WhisperingJohn]

Who mentioned slasher villains, you braindead loser. I don't find them scary either, you braindead loser. But I guess a little girl like you does. You braindead loser. My point was, his acting persona wasn't scary. At all. Not in the slightest. You braindead loser.

[@LibertyWaxlips]

Do you think repeating 'braindead loser' has some overwhelming rhetorical effect? Shut your fat double-chinned face, baby boy.

[@Redemption1895]

Kutta Kyte I find him so attractive! Haha.

[@Fiona-hp4mw]

I like Anthony Hopkins but yes I agree, he was not scary in the role. Now as Blythe, well that's a different matter.. a hard cruel man and as Wilcox in Howard's End, an unpleasant and again very hard man. Wilcox and Blythe very similar in their hardness. And in case I have been so inarticulate as to keep repeating the same word without even bothering to use a synonym I'll say it again: hard!
