He is one of the most humble actors I've ever heard of.

Don’t kid yourself.

[@slavvalb3933]

Not necessarily . Swiss actor Bruno Ganz was very humble man. An absolutely fantastic actor , extremely intelligent, and very sweet person.. It is just we do not know any actors from Europe.

[@autumn5852]

@@slavvalb3933 how do you know she’s heard of Bruno Ganz 🤷‍♀️ he could be the most humble man in the world but if she hadn’t heard of him he won’t be the most humble man she’s ever heard of. And why would we not know actors living in the same place we live? 🤔

What I admire the most about Anthony Hopkins is his HONESTY.

[@WakandaBabe]

These days there are too many personalities and not enough actors. But Anthony Hopkins is an ACTOR. He leaves me awestruck he is so talented.

[@Mr.Honest247]

ohsnapiam59 I think the exact opposite is the truth. In the acting world that is.

[@seamushawks2190]

Mr. Blunt how so do you figure? I see ‘personalities’ as meaning people interested in being famous and being on magazine covers, and ‘actors,’ as people who are genuinely interested in the work, and so the quality of work is better. How do you see it differently? (I’m not asking for a fight, I’m genuinely curious about how you see this, because I haven’t heard this point of view before.)

[@GuineaPigEveryday]

Its insane that he’s still at the top of his game after all this time. I mean I’m Gen Z and knew who he was early on but it was Westworld where I really learned how truly brilliant he was and after that made sure to watch his older films, how the hell in his 70s he can still give such a masterful performance in Westworld that rivals his best roles, and now in One Life too, or The Father. A true legend.

[@galaxyalexanderh5737]

Love how he explained his nature of being a "recluse" … He had no shame in it and didn't make it sound depressing. A lot of people assume that its a bad thing or that their is something wrong with someone who doesn't have a lot of friends. If you can still care about people, communicate and enjoy the company when it is there, then there's nothing wrong with it.

[@TimsWildlife]

That's me! I full agree.

Well, it does suggest that he doesn't trust males, Colour me surprized..

Hopkins, Daniel Day Lewis, Pacino, and few more old fellas are the golden core of Cinema. Without them, 90% of Hollywood is gone.

[@TheMissingLink1]

Here after I just saw him give the best performance I've seen any actor give in THE FATHER. Definitely his career best. What a masterpiece of an actor.

[@Porque1000]

De Niro? Wow such a humble answer from one of the greatest actors about another one. You can feel a lot if respect. Hannibals portrayal will stay unforgettable.

[@pippipster6767]

He is an example of what can be achieved if you you live a life true to yourself. That is why he is such a great actor and why he is so liked. He is in touch with himself. He knows who he is. Actually, that is the essence of enlightenment.

[@SviraSvi]

Anthony Hopkins' Hannibal Lecter is one of the most impressive performances I've seen. I really get the monstrousness in his performance, but also the impression that he's a likeable person.

[@juanaltredo2974]

the bad side of having such a memorable role is that most of the comments are about just one of his many great performances. granted it as a career making role, but hes made many other great things, I loved him in The Edge where he shows how humble he can be. his latest role i westworld is another tour de force from the great man

[@guitarman0365]

the edge is the best man. It would be nice to see him and Baldwin back on some project together in the future.

a Hopkins and DeNiro movie, god I want to see that.

[@aini9528]

Ive kinda grown tired in a way of DeNiro, cause basically _every_ mafia movie has him and It's just that, he NEVER sucks. He's just always great. And when I see him do the same thing 7 times it just starts to get stale... Great actor nonetheless. :) I just wish he was cast in different types of characters. If anyone has suggestion I'm willing to listen

[@sultanalharbi2998]

I want to see a movie with him and Glenn Close that would be so fucking scary. And I would love to see him work a third time with Emma Thompson and a second time with Jodie Foster.
