Still humble too! I’m from Port Talbot and I grew up living next door to one of his best friends Doug. My mother went out of the house years back and there was a man walking from Doug’s house to a really nice Mercedes and my mother said to Doug, that the car was nice. Doug told her that it was Anthony Hopkins and he had come to invite him to his 70th Birthday Party in Margam Park! Nice guy

I had a stroke and was outside my body. I looked down and saw my body in the floor. No fear. No pain. Those feelings didn't occur to that being that I was. Those feelings are a survival mechanism of the bodies we inhabit now. There was no question. No figuring anything out. I just knew. It was like coming home after 500 years working abroad. The most powerful feeling of familiarity. I had no solid body. No physical. If I could describe what I was it was just the emotion "love". Child-like glee. Eternal warmth. This is what we truly are. This is what you were before you came here. It wasn't just me there. I was you. I was every atom that had ever existed in the physical realm. Most importantly, there was no fear. I used to be a very anxious person. Not any more. I know there is a plan. I know somehow we are projecting this physical reality ourselves. I don't know why. Bad things happen because this physical place needs to be balanced for some reason. We're all one being. We separate to come here to these bodies and it felt like the reason we find love so amazing is because it's our natural state before we come here to these bodies. I haven't explained everything but the original post surprised me. Its describing exactly what happened to me. Never give up. U chose to come here. We just can't remember for some reason. U chose to experience the bad AND the good. Trust the plan. Be good to others. Never Never give up

Hey, lion heart, that's not bad! My father used to say "Hell, you don't even know what's going on until you're 40." The fastest way to get over your fear of being dead is to eliminate organized religion from your life. NOTHING will screw up your ability to think rationally and logically about anything than the utter nonsense spewed forth from the pulpits of the nations. "Life after Death" - what a crock! Notice I said "fear of being dead" - that's NOT the same as getting over the "fear of dying." I believe it was Woody Allen who said “I'm not afraid of death; I just don't want to be there when it happens.” Me too. Being dead is a snap - just like being sound asleep - big deal. But GETTING DEAD is another story... if you're lucky you'll be hit by lightning, a bus or a bullet between the eyes. INSTANT DEATH bypassing all pain and suffering. But... lying in bed, full of drugs, for sometimes MONTHS slowly losing "it" - that's a form of TORTURE I refuse to have happen to me. If I ever get to this point at the end of the road, I'll find a way to END it myself.

Sir Anthony, You are like a rainbow of beautiful colors bringing joy to so many people, and your words of wisdom refresh my soul like dew drops on a rose.
As someone who is very hard on himself to do well in all endeavors, the part about carrying a picture of your young self to remind yourself you've done well in life where you are now, really hit me.
I love this man. He's had a profound effect on my life. He's hands down my favorite actor to ever live. When he dies, will be a very sad day for me. I'll be forever grateful for the excellence he's brought to the planet Earth.
Start loving others, believe me, your love will be returned. A smile, a kind nature and you will receive so much love. If you're looking for a partner, you're going to find him/ her this way.
Who else can tell your purpose of your life other than the one who created you? There is nothing purposless in this universe then how come you being so complex product doesn't have a purpose? Thinking and constantly thinking will take you to enlighten thought. That there is a Creator of the universe and He created us with some purpose. Let me know if you want to think a loud.
@@jamessunday8915 absolutely not! How did you come to this conclusion? Your individual observations will not give you the ultimate parpose of mankind.

You certainly didn’t sell your soul to Hollywood Sir Anthony Hopkins, you give us all so much joy, enthusiasm, belief, inspiration, hope, dreams, and the pure joy of listening to the conviction in your voice whether it be acting or being your authentic yourself. 🙏🏻
yes he did and i think he know that, but he might forgive and told him selfs to move on and not to repeat it .And person like you only entertain by things like movies and maybe will never learn the thruth
My grandpa passed away about a month ago at 90 years old, and when anyone asked him "How much longer are we going to work on this?" his answer was always "Until it's done". I've got to try and take away that and apply it in my life now I think. He busted his butt for his family and never quit.
The old school were remarkable men I woerry about todays kids how they going to grow with all this gender identity crap its deeply disturbing if the likes of yr grandpa will ever be repeated
I'm a 72 year old grandpa...i have 3 sons. First son came when i was 40. Other 2 came at 42 and 44. I was born with something that carried me through my entire life, "work ethic". Work ethic has given me my life and still is! I've always made my boys help me, no matter what the task....even as little boys. Chores, working on cars, building things, fixing stuff, splitting and stacking wood, raking leaves, etc. One day my boys were bitching and they asked, dad, why do you work SO MUCH!!! My answer....because i LOVE IT, AND SO SHOULD YOU!!! Two years ago my oldest called me and told me that he'd never forgotten that day....and by the way, i now understand. I said What do you understand? He said, 90 % of the time, hard work and dedication ALWAYS give you gratification and gratitude. My response, 90%, I'd be happy with 70%. My gratitude....all 3 boys, 27, 29, and 32 are all very successful, have plenty of money, fairly happy and love to make fun of me and how they can now outwork me. A year ago i asked my youngest son how was his combat tour in Afghanistan. He was a flight medic. He said that the movie Black Hawk Down during the stressful combat scenes was a good description. I asked how'd you do? He said, "my work ethic is what got me through ". What a GLORIOUS reward!! And, knowing that he received 2 medals for carrying 2 wounded soldiers out of a combat area and getting them to the helicopter....which was about 300 yards away. Good luck...PTL.
5 yrs ago I had a stroke, which took away all use of my left side. As i lay cursing and blaming everyone and everything for the state I was in, a sudden thought came to me. I was never sure whether or not I believed in a God. but I decided to pray. I asked that all these negative feelings please be removed from me - and almost b4 I had finished asking, the most incredible feeling of peace came over me and remains to this day. I am now disabled and live my life from my wheelchair, but I am able to state, totally honestly, that I believe this was an immediate reply from God and yes, I now believe totally in His existence and yes, that He is the help of the helpless. Mind, I had a 'flu jab on the same day as my stroke and I DO blame that, but will anyone from the medical profession ever admit that THAT could be the case? I very much doubt it. PS. I now speak to God on a daily basis - and no, I don't think I've gone daft..
I don't know Anthony Hopkins but I wish I could meet him and I respect and give homage to him no matter . Anthony Hopkins is a name one can trust - Reputation - " IMPECCABLE " . Anthony's life is , I'm positive , as mine but I'm not in the movie world ... DIVERSE . Such a truly Grand man who ought to be emulated ! I personally applaud you , Sir ! KEEP GOING ! From a Lady who applauds you , xo ! You are inspiration ! In great gratitude and Humble Thanks .
He talks about spirituality without the spiritual influence. Spirituality is misunderstood. Spirituality is finding your own truth and grow personally and finding balance.
Sara, to assert that there is an ultimate truth of spirituality is, and then defined it as entirely subjective, is self-refuting and self-contradictory. Either there is an ultimate truth or it is entirely subjective, but if it is wholly and entirely subjective, then there really is no ultimate spiritual truth, as such a definition alludes to meaningless. Furthermore, to suggest that this form of spirituality came without influence is not only preposterous, naïve, and perhaps arrogant. Such is the westernized form of eastern spirituality, but it is not new, nor is it original.
Love how honest he is...”sure beats working for a living”... “when I was younger, I wanted to be famous”... “it’s very pleasant”. For me, I would love to just enjoy the natural beauty of earth, rather than just striving to meet materialistic goals, because this is what society has programmed us to become.
Physical body returns to dust, but the Soul lives forever in heaven or hell, depending upon acceptance of Jesus as your Savior & going to heaven OR rejection of Jesus, meaning your soul will be in the Lake of Fire at the final Judgment.( Hell). I'm truly amazed at the millions of people who are so ignorant as to what happens after we die, that the Soul lives Forever!!! Get right with God, you only have this life to make the most important decision you will ever make. God gave us Free Will, so it's up to each of us to choose, Jesus or Satan. And, the Soul is fully conscious no matter where you end up, the glorious & beautiful heaven or the agonizing horrors of hell, remember, your choice. 🙏🙏🙏♥️✝️✝️✝️✝️
Thats the reason i adore and love this man ...everything he says goes thru my ears into my heart ❤️ i dont know where my path is going..but i hope that i can be strong as he to find the way and to live 🤗 thank you 😀😀😀
Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream, merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily...life is but a dream. Life is but a dream. I choose a good dream. I choose Art, Music, Poetry, Nature and all that is Beauty and aligns with Heaven. I choose to give, to smile, to laugh, to create. Choose Kindness.
I've watched "The Mask of Zorro" a hundred times. It's funny how often, when I'm fencing and my teacher is shouting instructions, I hear Hopkins in my head. "Perfect! Do it again."
"Sometimes, it's not about having a talent, skill, or passion. But what if I told you that with the right investment, you can still achieve your goals? No talent, no skill, no passion, but good investment can bring you financial freedom. Don't underestimate the power of smart financial decisions!!!!!!!!"
I agree with you and I believe that the secret to financial stability is having the right investment ideas to enable you earn more money, I don’t know who agrees with me but either way I recommend either real estate or bitcoin and stocks..
I’ve been diligently working, saving and contributing towards early retirement and financial freedom, but since covid outbreak, the economy so far has caused my portfolio to underperform, do I keep contributing to my 401k or look at alternative sectors to meet my goals?
@@face2lune Understanding your financial needs and making effective decisions is very essential. If I could advise you, you should seek the help of a financial advisor. For the record, working with one has been the best for my finances...
@@AllisonSherman657 How can one find a verifiable financial planner? I would not mind looking up the professional that helped you. I will be retiring in two years and I might need some management on my much larger portfolio. Don't want to take any chances.
Thank you, Sir Anthony Hopkins! I like so much your conception of life, your philosophy! Thank you with all my heart for expressing so well my inner beliefs and feelings... Thank youi for being you!
It doesn't matter how smart someone appears to be, it is always difficult to find the right words to explain the seemingly unexplainable. But if that someone is famous and successful (in our arguably definition of success),we are always incline to listen and pay mode attention to their words. We easily allow ourself to be inspired by their lives. Hell and Heaven are two rooms located in the same building called consciousness. The classroom and the recreational room. Light and darkness are brother and sister. In unity the form the perfect team for the essence of creation. God is the Divine result of timeless evolvement of energy in existence. Somewhat relatively easy to understand the concept of it ...quite challenging to explain the complexity of it all! Great words Mr Hopkins. It's time. 💫⚡💞🌎💞⚡💫
I love Anthony Hopkins...He is a unique actor his character in every person he portrays..in Meet Joe Black for example...he moved me so much with Death speaking to him..."Yes"...it moved me to tears, and had stayed with me for ever. I have never seen him in any film where his acting has not touched me...Instinct...Shadowlands...Silence of the Lambs. Magical.
That's true all we want in the end is love,but in the end when we die,we are alone again and why should we have the experience to love? I don't understand....
Love is just a way to find a meaning in your existence or its just hormones what is Compelling every creature on earth to bread, we just over analyse things. Think simple?
I grew up loving and thinking about concepts, ideas, thought, and the intangible, but there came a time I felt the need for things. Then there came a time that all the things became a source of expense with no return, obligation and responsibility and heartache. Now, I just want to be free of all things as well as all people who are just money, power, control and possession oriented.
I want also want to break free from everyone and everything in this world because I’ve had enough of being alive. It seems like sleeping is the only relieving solution from working, experiencing, feeling, thinking, and dealing with this temporary and meaningless existence but I hate how I have to wake up every time. Why can’t sleep be eternal?
That's the thing, some people doesn't have the ability to set up goals, or given importance to family, work, etc. I think before keep going, it's define where you wanna go. You can not be led by circunstances. Even something small. You definetly need to keep going but try to define where you wanna go each day, no matter how simple it is.
eliguaso22 Well most people know in a general way what they desire to feel and experience in life. They want to be happy/joyful, healthy, wealthy and completely at peace all the time, and also feel and experience love all the time. It's just that they don't know or are unclear as to how to "get there". They might experience all of those states of being from time to time but there are too many moments when they are feeling the opposite of peace, joy, love and freedom. And people far from those states could use some hope, faith, guidance and help.
Funny how a celebrity can say something and everyone loves it and thinks it is the most profound thing they have ever heard. Yet our parents teachers and friends say it and we ignore it
True. Sad thing here is that because he holds celebrity status, people will tend to shut down their brain and have selective hearing to what he is actually saying. Know this: Reality can be defined, but not by Anthony Hopkins the actor.
@@firstbornjordan hmmm it would seem you are leaning more on the fact that he is an actor than whether what he is saying has merit - he is spot on and has and can define reality as much as anyone can - it would be a good idea fbj if you opened your mind up [ like an umbrella it only works then ] and considered what he is saying rather than your pointless criticism ; and btw, it is you who has shut down your brain...
Believe in the Power of Justice" and hope, and the death of evil and racists, and sociopaths and all ignorance, and criminals, and petty hate trolls, and long live the clever smart funny trolls, amen.
As oppposed to those who believe in a fictional god and are stumbling in the dark and trying to justify the nonsense they believe in, I’d say that’s a victory.
@Nathan D. To be in that which is false is to fall into the abyss of ignorance and delusion. Only the naive and desperate put their faith in a god they can’t see.

Sir Anthony, You are like a rainbow of beautiful colors bringing joy to so many people, and your words of wisdom refresh my soul like dew drops on a rose.
As someone who is very hard on himself to do well in all endeavors, the part about carrying a picture of your young self to remind yourself you've done well in life where you are now, really hit me.
Totally agree Kertef :-)
Mai ia ,mai ia , mai ia forgive me if I m wrong !!!
kertef trouble is some people in life don’t have a good start how would that help them, it’s all very shaken to rely on self wisdom.
Who better to hold you to account than yourself as a child. You have do your very best for that little person..
I will definitely try to make use of his suggestions. I've got a lot of work around self forgiveness to do and I think it will help
I love this man. He's had a profound effect on my life. He's hands down my favorite actor to ever live. When he dies, will be a very sad day for me. I'll be forever grateful for the excellence he's brought to the planet Earth.
Joe Smith agreed but he’s healthy man so hopefully he’s here and if not he would say that’s fine as well 😍
I don’t know what the purpose of life is, but I just want to spend my life with someone I truly love
I do, too.
Start loving others, believe me, your love will be returned. A smile, a kind nature and you will receive so much love. If you're looking for a partner, you're going to find him/ her this way.
Who else can tell your purpose of your life other than the one who created you? There is nothing purposless in this universe then how come you being so complex product doesn't have a purpose? Thinking and constantly thinking will take you to enlighten thought. That there is a Creator of the universe and He created us with some purpose. Let me know if you want to think a loud.
@@cooldude3421 Most people's purpose in life is that, they as SHEEP should be FOOD for the WOLVES while serving God!!!
@@jamessunday8915 absolutely not! How did you come to this conclusion? Your individual observations will not give you the ultimate parpose of mankind. In that case everyone will define different parpose of life in their sense which is not correct. Well, if sheeps are pray for Wolf's that doesn't mean all sheep are killed by wolfs!
His voice is so beautiful.

Sir Anthony Hopkins is a living legend. I just watched The Father. I'm awestruck.
I’ve always loved Anthony Hopkins. Such genius in his acting. And the wisdom of his words proves that.
You certainly didn’t sell your soul to Hollywood Sir Anthony Hopkins, you give us all so much joy, enthusiasm, belief, inspiration, hope, dreams, and the pure joy of listening to the conviction in your voice whether it be acting or being your authentic yourself. 🙏🏻
yes he did and i think he know that, but he might forgive and told him selfs to move on and not to repeat it .And person like you only entertain by things like movies and maybe will never learn the thruth

For his sake I hope not, he is one of my favorites.
My grandpa passed away about a month ago at 90 years old, and when anyone asked him "How much longer are we going to work on this?" his answer was always "Until it's done". I've got to try and take away that and apply it in my life now I think. He busted his butt for his family and never quit.
The old school were remarkable men I woerry about todays kids how they going to grow with all this gender identity crap its deeply disturbing if the likes of yr grandpa will ever be repeated
Your Grandpa was absolutely right when he said “until it’s done” be proud be very proud of his wise words ❤
I'm a 72 year old grandpa...i have 3 sons. First son came when i was 40. Other 2 came at 42 and 44. I was born with something that carried me through my entire life, "work ethic". Work ethic has given me my life and still is! I've always made my boys help me, no matter what the task....even as little boys. Chores, working on cars, building things, fixing stuff, splitting and stacking wood, raking leaves, etc. One day my boys were bitching and they asked, dad, why do you work SO MUCH!!! My answer....because i LOVE IT, AND SO SHOULD YOU!!! Two years ago my oldest called me and told me that he'd never forgotten that day....and by the way, i now understand. I said What do you understand? He said, 90 % of the time, hard work and dedication ALWAYS give you gratification and gratitude. My response, 90%, I'd be happy with 70%.
My gratitude....all 3 boys, 27, 29, and 32 are all very successful, have plenty of money, fairly happy and love to make fun of me and how they can now outwork me.
A year ago i asked my youngest son how was his combat tour in Afghanistan. He was a flight medic. He said that the movie Black Hawk Down during the stressful combat scenes was a good description. I asked how'd you do? He said, "my work ethic is what got me through ".
What a GLORIOUS reward!!
And, knowing that he received 2 medals for carrying 2 wounded soldiers out of a combat area and getting them to the helicopter....which was about 300 yards away. Good luck...PTL.
Life is mistakes and hardships, but also to be happy and follow your dreams.
I’m truly glad to be here.
I can't agree with the statement that life is short. I've been alive for as long as I can remember.
Life is short in terms of that we are dying... We are Mortals

@@saif9amar417 Subtle humour is the best kind of humour xD
5 yrs ago I had a stroke, which took away all use of my left side. As i lay cursing and blaming everyone and everything for the state I was in, a sudden thought came to me. I was never sure whether or not I believed in a God. but I decided to pray. I asked that all these negative feelings please be removed from me - and almost b4 I had finished asking, the most incredible feeling of peace came over me and remains to this day. I am now disabled and live my life from my wheelchair, but I am able to state, totally honestly, that I believe this was an immediate reply from God and yes, I now believe totally in His existence and yes, that He is the help of the helpless. Mind, I had a 'flu jab on the same day as my stroke and I DO blame that, but will anyone from the medical profession ever admit that THAT could be the case? I very much doubt it.
PS. I now speak to God on a daily basis - and no, I don't think I've gone daft..
Outstanding human posture....the Lord of the universe undoubtedly EXIST😊
I believe you. I had many times this experience after asking God/Jesus for help.
I’m very impressed with anything that Anthony Hopkins says. He has always come across as a strong force in ways of living life! 🙏

Anthony Hopkins is a name one can trust - Reputation - " IMPECCABLE " .

I love Sir Hopkins. As an actor, as a human, as a being that will know the gift one day.
He said a bunch of things I needed to hear. I admire him, and his words came out so true. I'm inspired, older now, but still searching.
He talks about spirituality without the spiritual influence. Spirituality is misunderstood. Spirituality is finding your own truth and grow personally and finding balance.

I don't know you, or where you're from but what you're saying is the truth
we know nothing that feels good to know
Sara, to assert that there is an ultimate truth of spirituality is, and then defined it as entirely subjective, is self-refuting and self-contradictory. Either there is an ultimate truth or it is entirely subjective, but if it is wholly and entirely subjective, then there really is no ultimate spiritual truth, as such a definition alludes to meaningless. Furthermore, to suggest that this form of spirituality came without influence is not only preposterous, naïve, and perhaps arrogant. Such is the westernized form of eastern spirituality, but it is not new, nor is it original.
His words resembles with the words from the book "the autobiography of a yogi"
Love how honest he is...”sure beats working for a living”... “when I was younger, I wanted to be famous”... “it’s very pleasant”. For me, I would love to just enjoy the natural beauty of earth, rather than just striving to meet materialistic goals, because this is what society has programmed us to become.
How mesmerising to listen to Anthony's voice -a truly wonderful honest being.

Physical body returns to dust, but the Soul lives forever in heaven or hell, depending upon acceptance of Jesus as your Savior & going to heaven OR rejection of Jesus, meaning your soul will be in the Lake of Fire at the final Judgment.( Hell). I'm truly amazed at the millions of people who are so ignorant as to what happens after we die, that the Soul lives Forever!!! Get right with God, you only have this life to make the most important decision you will ever make. God gave us Free Will, so it's up to each of us to choose, Jesus or Satan. And, the Soul is fully conscious no matter where you end up, the glorious & beautiful heaven or the agonizing horrors of hell, remember, your choice. 🙏🙏🙏♥️✝️✝️✝️✝️
It's unbelievable how much gravitas this man has just by stepping into a room. My favorite performance of his is from Legends of the Fall.

Hi 👋 Jennifer
It doesn't matter how smart someone appears to be, it is always difficult to find the right words to explain the seemingly unexplainable. But if that someone is famous and successful (in our arguably definition of success),we are always incline to listen and pay mode attention to their words. We easily allow ourself to be inspired by their lives.
Hell and Heaven are two rooms located in the same building called consciousness. The classroom and the recreational room. Light and darkness are brother and sister. In unity the form the perfect team for the essence of creation.
God is the Divine result of timeless evolvement of energy in existence.
Somewhat relatively easy to understand the concept of it
...quite challenging to explain the complexity of it all!
Great words Mr Hopkins.
It's time.
💫⚡💞🌎💞⚡💫
My favourite actor of all time and an incredible human being.
The meaning of life in whatever meaning you want to give it.....and that's a gift of nature for us humans
Such a genuine individual and i love his voice in general lol. "I want to see it all"
A wonderful actor, another great Legend, above all WELSH
I love Anthony Hopkins...He is a unique actor his character in every person he portrays..in Meet Joe Black for example...he moved me so much with Death speaking to him..."Yes"...it moved me to tears, and had stayed with me for ever. I have never seen him in any film where his acting has not touched me...Instinct...Shadowlands...Silence of the Lambs. Magical.
The meaning of life is Love
Yep. Love conquers all.
Exactly!
That's true all we want in the end is love,but in the end when we die,we are alone again and why should we have the experience to love? I don't understand....
I disagree, it's just a source of short-term excitement and long-term misery.
Love is just a way to find a meaning in your existence or its just hormones what is Compelling every creature on earth to bread, we just over analyse things. Think simple?
"Its yours, if you want it."
This is a beautiful man that we can all listen too & keep the information he gives us .. the school of life
This man is beyond impressive. Inherent wisdom delivered simply and directly.
Bob you are dreaming.
I hope so ... this can't all be real.
I'm sorry Dr. Bob.....it is very real.
You mean that it's taken this long for me to find out? ;-)
Gee Dr. Bob, this side of the etherial most of us never find out, so you have plenty of company. lol I'm just starting at 74
We are here on Earth to praise our creator and to love each other
I used to know him in London…he’s such a modest, genuine, ordinary person with exceptional talent….
I grew up loving and thinking about concepts, ideas, thought, and the intangible, but there came a time I felt the need for things. Then there came a time that all the things became a source of expense with no return, obligation and responsibility and heartache. Now, I just want to be free of all things as well as all people who are just money, power, control and possession oriented.
You're smart enough to have experienced that our capitalistic system is giving a very hard time to the ones who would prefer to skip it though?
I want also want to break free from everyone and everything in this world because I’ve had enough of being alive. It seems like sleeping is the only relieving solution from working, experiencing, feeling, thinking, and dealing with this temporary and meaningless existence but I hate how I have to wake up every time. Why can’t sleep be eternal?
"We did okay kid!"
I hope that I can tell myself that when I am his age. Great video about a wise and very talented man :)
Anthony Hopkins is a legend for sure! All my life I have lived with his movies!
He could talk about the molecular structure of a marshmallow, and it would be astounding.
haha true... his vocab is no joke
He did and it was!
Because God even the ingredients of a marshmallow
That actually sounds interesting
i swear to GOD 🤣

Just keep going. Never give up
Why should I keep going?
That's the thing, some people doesn't have the ability to set up goals, or given importance to family, work, etc. I think before keep going, it's define where you wanna go. You can not be led by circunstances. Even something small. You definetly need to keep going but try to define where you wanna go each day, no matter how simple it is.
eliguaso22 Well most people know in a general way what they desire to feel and experience in life. They want to be happy/joyful, healthy, wealthy and completely at peace all the time, and also feel and experience love all the time. It's just that they don't know or are unclear as to how to "get there". They might experience all of those states of being from time to time but there are too many moments when they are feeling the opposite of peace, joy, love and freedom. And people far from those states could use some hope, faith, guidance and help.

He is so wise.such a lovely man
Funny how a celebrity can say something and everyone loves it and thinks it is the most profound thing they have ever heard. Yet our parents teachers and friends say it and we ignore it
True. Sad thing here is that because he holds celebrity status, people will tend to shut down their brain and have selective hearing to what he is actually saying. Know this: Reality can be defined, but not by Anthony Hopkins the actor.
Yes, that's why they're called "celebrities"
Your parents said this shit? God damn. Mine told me money was errythang.
@@firstbornjordan hmmm it would seem you are leaning more on the fact that he is an actor than whether what he is saying has merit - he is spot on and has and can define reality as much as anyone can - it would be a good idea fbj if you opened your mind up [ like an umbrella it only works then ] and considered what he is saying rather than your pointless criticism ; and btw, it is you who has shut down your brain...
Maybe because it's more difficult to become a celebrity so people value their opinion more? I don't know...

Believe in the Power of Justice" and hope, and the death of evil and racists, and sociopaths and all ignorance, and criminals, and petty hate trolls, and long live the clever smart funny trolls, amen.

Believe in the power of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.
