I truly respect how well he can switch off from being Anthony Hopkins and become Hannibal Lecter. Such a convincing transformation into a totally different character. The eyes, the voice, the mannerisms. A true talented pro. And an amazing man in real life.
He's always been on another level. Just another category of its own. It's simply useless to compare him to his peers. He has none. A true master of his craft.
+Myles Goldman that actually crossed my mind when I saw him in the Silence of the Lambs. well specifically when he first meets Clarice and starts dissecting her, "While you can only dream of getting out, getting anywhere, getting all the way to the FBI..." that Sinister grin on his face really screamed the Joker.
He was cast as Alec Trevelyan in GoldenEye when the character was written as an older mentor figure, but he dropped out last minute and the role was rewritten and recast with Sean Bean.
***** you know I'm almost 100% Italian and I dont feel that way at all. Pacino had many bad on screen moments, good ones too but lots of bad ones, I didnt like de niro as much as pacino and Hopkins, Lee, and Eastwood were all consistent actors.
***** aw man i freaking loved Eastwood movies. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly has got to be my favorite western of that era of film making, got the whole Dirty Harry collection, Grand Torino, A Fist Full Of Dollars and the Sequel and many of the films he directed.
I normally don't get into these type movies, like my wife does anyway, but Silence of the Lambs was one of my favorite movies, and it scared the hell out of me! Both, Mr. Hopkins and Jodie Foster were both frickin amazing !
I can't believe Hannibal's introduction standing in the middle of his cell was Anthony Hopkins idea. That's fucking brilliant. That's one of my absolute favorite parts of the film. It was very affective in being scary.
Wow. Premonition,anyone? Anthony played Hitchcock recently in a film with the same title and here Ferguson tells him that Hitchcock would be proud of his performance as Lecter. How cool
he is such an intelligent man! i bet when he was discussing whether Alfred Hitchcock would be pleased or not, he would never have been dreaming of playing him in a biographical film. couldn't think of anyone but hopkins to do a better job
I came to this video after watching Dico Cavett's interview of Anthony Hopkins..I couldn't help but compare both the interviewers..This persons seems so confused while asking the questions especially the one where he asks Hopkins to deliver a dialogue..Talking about the actor himself i must say that I admire his body language.. It's so calm , controlled and well, well-mannered! He just seems like a wise old man whom you would feel like confiding in..
2:19 That's very interesting to see Anthony Hopkins body language/mannerisms in this interview. The way he's sitting is exactly like Hannibal. The way he rests his elbow while elegantly hanging his hand down.
The scene with the big cage they had actually filmed another scene to cutaway with young Clarice and the lamb, but when Demme saw the performances of Jodie and Anthony he decided to leave it out because they were so powerful.
Sometimes, I think the "Fonzie Effect" is going on. People didn't want to talk to Henry Winkler - they wanted to talk to the Fonze. Anthony Hopkins is brilliant, and he commands enormous attention on his own. But I think that many of us want to see an interview with Hannibal Lecter - a interview with the character he played. This, of course, is because of the wonderful portrayal.
I had a dream about Hannibal one time. I was in his house visiting with him, afraid the whole time he was going to eat me. But gradually I began to wonder if it was really Anthony Hopkins. I wasn't sure, so I was a nice to him as I could be just to be on the safe side.
I know, I hate pointing it out but the reporter says 'revelant' instead of 'relevant' and you can actually see Anthony notice it, I felt sorry for him, realising that he's going to have to do all the intelligent thinking in the discussion.
Trivia: Did y'all know that Anthony and Jodie barely interacted with one another during the filming? The camera angles were such that they were barely able to be in the same room. Kinda blows my mind that a lot of the scenes where they chat the one speaking was alone during the filming. Reflections in the plexiglass of his cell was one such problem.
I liked all the lead performances, but this wasn't scary for me. I wasn't worried when Hannibal escaped, I just thought it was a clever albeit unlikely plan. I wasn't worried when Buffalo Bill had the night vision goggles on at the end, I was laughing.
Hugh Jass Saw? I never watched that shit. Scream? It wasn't scary, either, but at least the first one was entertaining. I'll admit, it really didn't help this movie that I've seen every episode of Monk; so whenever Buffalo Bill spoke, I just heard heard Captain Stottlemeyer.
@@YOSUP315 Yes at the time when the movie came out it was pretty much the only one of its class, and no one knew who that Buffalo guy was. He was unknown and the movie was truly horrific. It's refreshing to see Ted Levine in other things, definitely makes him less scary, but nonetheless brilliant! But EveryOne Loved Hannibal even then.
When he was hannibal, i thought he is a very smart man who did some bad stuff, n probably he born with that thing (any thing it is) that make him eat ppl. I feel sorry for him.if the character was real n i meet him,i won't judge him, i won't beat him, i treat him like a normal man. But the other hannibal in that series is a literal evil, worse version of human being, scary and disgusting. If the character was real, all of us should leave our houses, find him n end his life. Everybody on the planet.
I could listen to him talk all day. No one will ever play Lecter as well as he did.
I doubt anyone will ever play Hector. Period.
I truly respect how well he can switch off from being Anthony Hopkins and become Hannibal Lecter. Such a convincing transformation into a totally different character. The eyes, the voice, the mannerisms. A true talented pro. And an amazing man in real life.
While he's not "sexy" just by looks, i entirely agree, something about how he speaks, and his mannerisms, he's a genius
"Why are you laughing so nervously"
Anthony Hopkins, a true legendary person.
My absolute idol.
I agree, when I found out how he prepares for a movie my respect for him just quadrupled. Amazing dedication, reading the script that many times.
I love the fact that you can still hear his Welsh accent coming through. One of the greatest actors, who comes from such humble origins.
He's so superb. Anthony is the greatest actor of our generation, and remains to be one of the sexiest man alive. I dare anyone to disagree.
ET Hello from the future.
You're an idiot!
WHAT A GORGEOUS MAN! GOD HAVE MERCY!
There's definetly something about him - many things, actually!
Anthony Hopkins : a true legend!
his voice. ahhhhhh
6:42 Quid pro quo, Clarice, you tell me things and I tell you things. MY GOD HIS VOICE IS EVERYTHING
He's always been on another level. Just another category of its own. It's simply useless to compare him to his peers. He has none. A true master of his craft.
and has won another Oscar!
Does anyone else think that Anthony Hopkins would make a PERFECT James Bond villain?
+Jack Moody What about an old Joker?
+Myles Goldman that actually crossed my mind when I saw him in the Silence of the Lambs. well specifically when he first meets Clarice and starts dissecting her, "While you can only dream of getting out, getting anywhere, getting all the way to the FBI..." that Sinister grin on his face really screamed the Joker.
YES
He was cast as Alec Trevelyan in GoldenEye when the character was written as an older mentor figure, but he dropped out last minute and the role was rewritten and recast with Sean Bean.
One word and a number: Transformers 5.
Just so adorable when he winks :)
Hopkins: "I didn't do any research, just played him from my own experiences."
Anybody else shitting themselves?
No, I'm not a complete wussie.
@planetofthegapes not for u to diside but you do you mate
a tv interviewer once tested me....
awesomeelitegamer 😂😂😂
lol
I ate his liver🤣🤣🤣
Ha Ha!!! 😆 Thanks for the laugh!
I really love the way he says the name "Clarice." He has such a beautiful voice...
Anthony Hopkins, Christopher Lee, Clint Eastwood: THE EPIC ON SCREEN LEGENDS!
***** you know I'm almost 100% Italian and I dont feel that way at all. Pacino had many bad on screen moments, good ones too but lots of bad ones, I didnt like de niro as much as pacino and Hopkins, Lee, and Eastwood were all consistent actors.

@Dania Qaisara otoole oliver burton, you cant compare denero and the other one with those great actors,
the guy says i think this could be a good movie what he doesnt know then is that today its a bloody classic
I normally don't get into these type movies, like my wife does anyway, but Silence of the Lambs was one of my favorite movies, and it scared the hell out of me! Both, Mr. Hopkins and Jodie Foster were both frickin amazing !
The greatest living actor who helps all people with problems.
Errr... what?
@@planetofthegapeshe’s a recovering alcoholic and he does speeches at many AA meetings
wow what a superb human being he nows how to play the feeling and vibe of that interview...brilliant actor in my book
Anthony Hopkins is an amazing man.

Why Hopkins is one of my all time favorite actors. I really look up to him.
Even listening to him, his vernacular hints to his amazing overall intelligence.
Love Anthony what a legend
I love Anthony Hopkins, he's amazing!
I simply love this movie. i'm not usually into thrillers, but this movie is so wonderfully made. and Anthony is amazing.
he is such an intelligent man! i bet when he was discussing whether Alfred Hitchcock would be pleased or not, he would never have been dreaming of playing him in a biographical film. couldn't think of anyone but hopkins to do a better job
He's the best Hannibal Lecter he's so freaking awesome and he makes him so polite LOL
Amyzing talented actor. Big salut
Such an amazing man.
I came to this video after watching Dico Cavett's interview of Anthony Hopkins..I couldn't help but compare both the interviewers..This persons seems so confused while asking the questions especially the one where he asks Hopkins to deliver a dialogue..Talking about the actor himself i must say that I admire his body language.. It's so calm , controlled and well, well-mannered! He just seems like a wise old man whom you would feel like confiding in..
Great actor! I admire living in the same time
oh thanks.....grate i love anthony !
He's such an inspiration

I love the way he talks even Hannibal lector is an evil character he made me fall in love with the character
Its a classic now days
He's so amazing. He can go from suave and sinister in his films to silly and goofy in some videos he uploaded online. lol
all time masterpiece
Que lindo ator...amo!
this interviewer certainly opens up with a bang, way to go...
Sometimes, I think the "Fonzie Effect" is going on. People didn't want to talk to Henry Winkler - they wanted to talk to the Fonze.

Very clever, and true!
A very intelligent actor indeed.

At 06:41, everything around me seems to become chilly.
Spectacular Actor
Great actor
Imagine him answering that first question the way he did in today's world: massive Twitter outrage lol
With relish
He is the one and only Hannibal
His voice is overwhelming! Such a sexy and charismatic person - and the best thing is he doesn't want to be (as the most male actors).
Anthony wasn't confused for a second. Who doesn't enjoy ass-holing around within their rights? and who else does it with such tasteful elegance?
the interviewer killed the interview with his first question. Why does he make it political?
Agreed.
my favorite movie with him ( except the hannibal movies) is zorro he has so nice french moustache
CUBETechie I hope Legends of the Fall is high on the list too.
That question at 6:15 confused me. Glad it confused Anthony Hopkins as well, so I'm not alone in the misunderstanding.
Anthony Hopkins is a true acting genius, but the interviewer is just *Terrible* and ruins this interview.. So awkward....I just can't stand him >:(
I know, I hate pointing it out but the reporter says 'revelant' instead of 'relevant' and you can actually see Anthony notice it, I felt sorry for him, realising that he's going to have to do all the intelligent thinking in the discussion.
Supreme Buffalo yeah! that interviewer was a flustered fool!
Actually they seemed to enjoy their time together.

+Xander Patten you're not intelligent enough to wrap your head around it, thats all. stick to saw, scream, shit like that
Hugh Jass Saw? I never watched that shit.
Scream? It wasn't scary, either, but at least the first one was entertaining.
I'll admit, it really didn't help this movie that I've seen every episode of Monk; so whenever Buffalo Bill spoke, I just heard heard Captain Stottlemeyer.

You must be 10
Dumb question, "How would Dr. Lector ask Clarice about her past?" It's in the movie! He should have worded it differently.
ooooooooo Scary.....
"why are you laughing so nervously"
Idk
I can't view Anthony Hopkins as anyone else but Hannibal Lecter.
Jamie I see in him always Mr.Stevens!!!!!From The Remains of the day!!!!!
He's been in so many movies, and has played so many characters! But...he is so delicious as Hannibal.
He looked way older in the part
That guy is such a fool. He was genuinely scared of him.
Maybe because you'll be thinking you're actually talking to Hannibal Lecter😂
You weren’t worried because he wasn’t coming after you.
Hannibal lecter is not an example of why we should have capital punishment. Lecter is an example of prisoners being useful to catch other criminals
I'd be happy to disagree... if you were wrong.
If I saw a cannibal in real life that would freak me out
I'm sure you have seen some before, you just didn't know it.
When he was hannibal, i thought he is a very smart man who did some bad stuff, n probably he born with that thing (any thing it is) that make him eat ppl.

It’s always embarrassing when an interviewer asks a stupid, incomprehensible question...
he used to be handsome wow
The interviewer is most ... annoying.
