This is the most overused, recycled comment of all time. I have literally seen it in every single one of these actors on actors videos. So that tells me it must be the person working for variety that is saying it!
Silence of the lambs is one of those movies you think is really good when you watch it the first time, then it becomes better everytime you watch it again.
Same with The Elephant Man (in which Tony plays another doctor: Sir Frederick Treves who displays such compassion and humanity - worlds apart from Lector) it’s one I always end up watching to the end if I land on it channel-surfing!
@anthony hopkins it’s not every day you see Anthony Hopkins in a UA-cam comment section. You’re one of the best actors I’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing.
Don’t you wish he did? Yet he’s just so truly grounded, it didn’t even occur to him to be silly- you can also tell he’s very comfortable being himself, which unfortunately, is a grail most 75%+ of actors/actresses never find, and comedians 99% of the time never do. Yet he’s still whimsical and charming and generous, and you can tell he genuinely enjoys reflecting back on his life and success
Jodie Foster is so comfortable with her skin and her body; any other acters will be gone under the knife many times by now. And Sir Anthony Hopkins a legend! Two legends.
I totally get what you mean! He seems graceful and just kind. Older and getting better even in his craft. It’s a wonderful thing. I love that he’s still challenging himself with piano and anything else he can get his hands on to stay mentally active. I hope he has a loving home environment around him. I truly wish Anthony all the best.
Jodie is an example what real beauty is without her youthfulness and the plastic surgeries and Anthony has the extraordinary charisma and his personality glows with wisdom and they are just amazing. Lovely actors and amazing interviews.
She's definitely had work. It shows around her lips. Also likely an eyelid lift. But either no Botox or it's been a while. And recently (the last 6 months), she's picked up two horizontal lines that indicate a particular kind of jaw lift. But *it's her job* . I don't fault any actor for getting work done. They might drop $90 grand and make $3 million dollars as a result. Heck- if I had $40,000 to spare, I'd get an eyelid lift if only for personal comfort. She's 61.
@@macmcleod1188what exactly do you believe indicates that she's had work done? I can't see anything "around her lips" nor do I spot anything on her jaw. Her eyes look natural too
I always love when Jodie Foster interviews or speaks to other actors. Her comments and questions are always insightful and show that she really watched their films. She also gives them room to breathe and talk.
Anthony Hopkins (Sir Anthony Hopkins) is the greatest actor of all time. I have watched almost every movie there is and he saved the movie industry which was in serious decline shortly before Silence of The Lambs was released. The best movie of all time too.
Really? I think it was more that he was giving her closure. She’d been traumatized by the filming of the movie. He was saying, “it’s over, you’re good to go, get on with your life and you have my (Hopkins’) blessing.” IMHO.
What would have been even more fitting is if Athony had said at the beginning of this video... (as he says... Hello, Hello...) 'Heeelllloooo, Clarrriiice...' Now that would have been awesome...
It 's so lovely to see them reunited! ! I almost started crying when Anthony said" Bye, Clarise." and then Jodie responded saying," Bye, dr. Lecter!" Amazing moment!
In fact there is more truth in your quote than one would really believe... she really did avoid him. There was hardly one scene in the whole movie were they have really have met in person.
I saw "The Silence of the Lambs" twice when it aired - a few weeks appart - and the scene that really blew me away was at the end: when realization hit her and after the lights went out in the killer's house. At first she reacted and fumbled drawing her gun, and soon after, the hand holding it started shaking... but mostly, it was the way she breathed... you felt the adrenaline rush, panic held in check by training, but just barely. It was truly mesmerizing.
It’s so incredible living in this age being able to have access to interviews like this. I can’t imagine living a couple decades ago and not being able to see such a freeing conversations between actors like this. Interviews before were so curated and usually between a tv host. They still are. But here, two actors/artists can speak to each other like the friends they are.
actually some of the TV interview conversations in the 70s and 80s weren't that bad. Things for sure took a bad turn in the 90s, 00s and early 10s though .
I am English and 83 and I have seen every film Anthony Hopkins has ever made…Lovely to see these two together..Thank you so much for this ..Best wishes to you both from Cheshire. England….

@@alicia.navarro8868 Long ago, in a galaxy far, far, away, I was training to be an actor in a college in New Jersey. At the time, Anthony was performing in the Broadway premier of Equus. One of my teachers at the time went backstage after one of the shows and asked him if he would come to our school to talk to us. Anthony agreed. And the rest was history. 😃
Yes, he can be quiet an enthusiastic person for someone who is 83. If you haven't seen the video of him playing piano for his cat, it is worth finding.
They're so passionate and authentic, it's refreshing! Extraordinary chemistry on screen and here they're so chatty and comfortable, like they're old pals enjoying an evening together after a long time. I loved the way they said their goodbyes!
Both are immense talents and people. You can also tell that Jodie Foster has incredible intellect....she is very centred and astute. I would love to see more interview content about her as a person.😊
I always knew Jodie would age well, she has great skin and bone structure. As a horror fan I'm always proud that they got the sweep in the Oscars lead actor and actress that year and as a Welshman I'm always proud of Anthony
This was so fantastic! I love Jodie Foster as she is always so intelligent and interesting. Then throw in Anthony Hopkins as the two had worked together in the past and it just gets even better. The conversation just flowed and they were both quite mesmerizing to watch and listen to.
That scene when she's talking to him in the "dungeon"... She manages to convey a strong person, a confident person, and a vulnerable person on the verge of breaking down simultaneously. It's so moving.
Well you can't be strong and brave if you aren't feeling vunerable and afraid. Many think that a strong character is one that never breaks and is "perfect". You put her character in perfect words I think!
It's so rare to see these two just being themselves -- how fun to see them in this kind of conversation! I usually hate to see an actor I love getting old, but there's a feeling that the best is yet to come with Anthony Hopkins. He only gets better. I do hate that he's getting to the point where we won't have him any longer, but for now it's pretty fabulous.
Her insight about Clarice feeling handicapped and turning that insecurity into her superpower is very interesting and is one of the reasons she’s such an impactful hero
I like both films and she won 2 Oscars for them. Frankly, two total different characters in 2 movies, but she nailed it like 2 different actors. Great performance 👍
I suspect it's probably because she was working from such a young age - like, literally as a young child (she was the Coppertone girl) - and all the stuff she did with Disney, etc., she probably tired of it earlier than most.
Sir Anthony! Congratulations on your Academy Award. Just by doing what you do so well, others have been moved to reward you with the highest honors. A life of relevance and generosity. Well done.
Have you read the books? There's heaps of plot details that didn't make it onto film, if you enjoy the movies you owe it to yourself to get the whole story in print. And the movies are over and done in 90 minutes, read the books and you can live in that world for hours..
star ive read all the books and yes the books go into so much more detail, silence of the lambs is my favourite film of all time and getting Anthony Hopkins to play hannibal was pure genius he played it so much better then Brian Cox in Manhunter
@@wanderinstar8838 its was the same with the Hannibal film no Jodie Foster so the connection with Hannibal and Clarice wasn't the same as Silence of the lambs ,just hope they NEVER try and do a remake of silence of the lambs 😎 am watching the documentary of it now
i just rewatched silence of the lambs and then find this video. Anthony Hopkins.. what a great actor, master of acting. He's so lucky in his old time he still be able to do the job that he has already a master on it. So inspiring..
Jodie Foster is an actor of exceptional talent, depth and beauty who was always ahead of her peers, by the time actors of her age were in their diapers she was making commercials, by the time they learned to speak, she was making movies for Disney, by the time they starting going to the school, she was winning awards and getting nominated for the Oscars, by the time they decided to enter films, Jodie decided to leave it behind and enjoy the ivy league world which she graduated with magna cum laude, by the time her peers had their breakthrough she already had won two Oscars and transitioned to the director's chair. An extraordinary talent, who's contribution to cinema is unparalleled and exquisite. A sheer gift to the world of acting and filmmaking
Such a wonderful man, humble, and my fav actor of all time, since the first time I saw him in 'Magic'. So terrifyingly good at all roles, a gift, no doubt, and one that I have grown up with throughout his long career. He's still wearing well, God bless him. Jodie is a diamond also x Nice to hear the two chat, it really is xx
This is amazing! I wasn't even born when Silence of the Lambs was released. But it's in my top ten films ever. And Antony is my favourite actor of all time. To have seen it in theatres. Would have been an amazing experience.
My mum, brother and I (teenager) went to the movies without knowing what we'd see. We picked Silence of the Lambs because of the poster - it had Jodie Foster and I liked the "butterfly". 😳 So we went in literally without knowing anything about it. Well we came out shocked 😂 To this day, I still think it's best way to see that extraordinary film.
@@GotTheTravelBug EXACTLY! seeing a film you know nothing about that blows you away!!! Very rare for that to happen. But the absolute best when it does.
I was 15 yrs old in Fort Collins, CO back in Feb or March of 1991 and my mom and brother and sister and I went to see it at a theater near the CSU campus. Of course I was young cinephile who took on many emotions while watching movies...and watching Silence of the Lambs on the big screen was one of the most enjoyable, consistently engrossing and horrifying pieces of moving images I had seen at that time in my life! I fell deeply in love with Jodie and wanted to see everything Anthony Hopkins was in. I remember the whole audience gasping and screaming in the theater at certain moments in the film...and on our walk back to the car afterward (at night in the dark), everyone who was also leaving the theater was walking close with their families together, almost paranoid about who was in the darkness. Great times for sure!
Anthony Hopkins is a treasure. Such an amazing person, and great actor. And Jodie Foster could never be replaced in her role as Clarice. One of the greatest films ever.
Sir Anthony Hopkins has always such a happy energy. This make his job as Lecter even more impressive. He always seems excited about work. His role in westworld on first season as Dr. Ford was amazing too and his twitter account its pure joy.
Riveting conversation. I could listen to these two talk all day. Fascinating to hear the behind the scenes especially of the Father and Silence of the Lambs. I love their sense of humor, too!
The best piece of advice I ever got from Anthony, when preparing for a role is to read the script (all of it) 100 times. I did that when I was offered the lead in Picnic. I'd read Stanislavski, but never acted before. I only flubbed my lines once, the last night. My costar covered for me. Thanks Anthony! I'd encourage anyone to get involved with local theater. It's Marvelous.
It was lovely seeing Anthony and Jodie together again. Old friends reminiscing about a wonderful time in their lives. Love them both and I am looking forward to seeing The Father. I have always loved Jodie, ever since she was in The Courtship of Eddie's Father when I was little girl. I was jealous of her because I had a crush on Brandon Cruz who played Eddie. We were the same age so it was pretty funny watching her in movies and I wanted to be in them. I loved her in The little girl that lives down the lane, with Martin Sheen. Creepy movie, loved it. Glad to see Anthony Hopkins looking forward to doing more movies. ,🤗😘
I've watched a whole of movies, and both of their performances are among the most memorable I've ever seen. The relationship of Hannibal and Clarice is forever etched in my mind.
I'm so glad he's doing well. I was fortunate to have had breakfast and a nice long chat with him about life in August of 2000 in Charleston, SC. He is such a gentleman, kind, extremely talented of course and insightful. Jodie is a great actor as well. Loved this interview.
Anthony Hopkins is absolutely one of my favorites ! The level of skill and talent this man has is mind blowing. The fact that he can just learn the lines on paper and have the out come that he does without going “ method “ I mean he could be the best !! These two characters in silence of the lambs are a match made in heaven. Such a joy to watch
This is a real treat. I read the book once a year. The story and these performances, I’m not sure we will ever see anything like this again. The way it was shot was so groundbreaking.
Everyone I meet who tells me they love the film I say, "Have you read the books? Coz you HAVE to read he books" if you enjoy the film there's so much story that didn't make it onto the screen ( *I still haven't read or seen Hannibal Rising)
Silence was truly monumental storytelling and acting. I however ...absolutely love CONTACT with Jodie Foster. If you ever read comments Jodie, your work was the pinnacle of Carl Sagan. His message in: BROCA'S BRAIN and DRAGONS of EDEN was perfectly illustrated by the nuanced acting. Bravo.
If you get a chance, listen to Jodie Foster's DVD commentary of Contact. It is more like a relaxing personal conversation than a commentary. I like it immensely.
I do think there are still some out there who are in it for the art. Especially if you also look outside Hollywood. But sadly those movies don't get as much attention and there are WAY more ordinary actors and movies out there. Quality gets overpowered by quantity. But there are still some very talented artists left in my opinion
Robert Duvall is one of those old greats too, what he did even with his supporting role in Jack Reacher was mesmerizing. I will miss him so much when he passes.
It was so fun being a fly on the wall while these two geniuses discuss in the most down to earth way thoughts and feelings about the film and more! I've loved their work for so long. They've done so much great work!!!
Loved every word. Two exceptional talents, together again. It will be a terribly sad and tragic day...when we learn Sir Anthony has been taken from us. Terribly. He's truly a living legend.
Two iconic actors that played such iconic characters throughout their long careers, and none more than Hannibal Lecter and Clarice Starling. These are the last of cinema’s greats. Felt like I was eavesdropping on a private conversation between them.
Jodie mentioned her mother in her speech at the Golden Globes in 2013 and it's the most moving part of a speech I've ever witnessed. She's very eloquent.
Silence of the Lambs is one of those movies that you kind of forget about for a while, then notice it's on TV that night, so you watch it again and realise all over again just what an incredible film it is. I don't know why I don't ever seem to think of it when I list my favourite movies, because it's definitely one of my all time favourites. Kinda strange that I keep forgetting about it. Maybe it's because of psychological scarring from Anthony's amazing performance, haha.
Jodie Foster is by far the greatest actress of the past 40 years, and my all time favourite too! And I’ve always loved Anthony! Love them and silence of the lambs forever! Just simply supreme!👍❤️
Jodi Foster is one of my all-time favorite people/actors. Throughout her career, I grew up with her from a child to an adult. She has been like family since we are the same age, although we never meet! I have enjoyed watching her life as an actress, and every year she gets better and better. I have also watched Anthony Hopkins' many films and have enjoyed the power he projects into his characters. I haven't heard about the Father or The Mauritanian; thanks, I'll be watching them as soon as I can.
I just watched Silence of the Lambs again and then this interview. Clarice was so brave and Lecter so menacing. These two played them perfectly. I can’t describe how much I love Sir Anthony and how proud he makes me to be Welsh. And Jodie Foster may not think of herself as an actor but she’s gifted and was born to bless us with her talent. Lovely see them both again - Hii Tony and his scary Bye Clarice 👏🏻
Always admired Hopkins lighthearted approach to acting, especially when so many actors take their method (and themselves) so seriously. You can clearly see he had so much fun playing that character, the glee he has reliving it in this interview.
This interview was great. I loved seeing them together and especially the stories about Silence of the Lambs. I'm going to watch both of their new movies this year.
The route that Jodie took from being a child star, to a amazing director and actress, to her bravery with her personal life, her kindness and genuine qualities show in this interview. Shes fair, considerate and fair. A true director. Anthony saved me from my alcoholism, his voice and actions; from being a painter, poet, actor, addict ... his voice and soul has saved me. Hes an idol of mine. They both deserve happiness and health cause they're good people, but their work and efforts have saved my life. Bravo to Vanity for the idea. Bravo to the actors. Round of applause of decent people. Very thankful to have lived a life having their talents and wisdom. Bravo. If they ever read this comment: Thank you for being you.
I have a friend that does makeup in the movie industry. She was able to get me in to meet Mr. Hopkins for a quick 2 minute "hello" and a picture. She told him that I was a huge "Silence of the Lambs" fan. When she took the pic of him and I, I was smiling. Without even asking him, he made the "Hannibal Lecter" face. It looks absolutely terrifying. I LOVE the picture :)
Thank you so much for your unconditional love and support towards my movies and career. It means a lot to me and I appreciate you from the bottom of my heart 💖💖....
Besides being a classic horror, and only horror movie to win an Academy Award for Best Picture, this movie to me will always be romantic. Saw this in the movies, 1991, with the love of my life.
whoever was the one that put them together needs a raise
Two legends....
Yessss!!
That raise should be taken for not sending them microphones to record good quality sound
This is the most overused, recycled comment of all time. I have literally seen it in every single one of these actors on actors videos.
So that tells me it must be the person working for variety that is saying it!
Thank you for the love and support
Anthony Hopkins & Jodie Foster were dynamite on screen together. Two true masters of acting.
Agreed 100%
They hardly met during filming of that one...the distance was real ...and she was really scared of him
And she adores him you can see that 💗
i seem to remember reading that they barely talked to each other during the making of lambs....mostly hopkins' doing.
That's true but i skip over the buffalo bill stuff just to get back to hopkins and foster
Silence of the lambs is one of those movies you think is really good when you watch it the first time, then it becomes better everytime you watch it again.
Same with the books. I read the trilogy through every few years just to remind myself how good it is and every time it gets better..
I enjoyed it. Great movie
an incredible #masterpiece 🖤🤍
Indeed. Has great re-watch value. I never get sick of it

Aww they were so cute in the way they ended their conversation.
"Bye Clarice"
"Bye Tony. Bye Dr. Lecter."
@anthony hopkins it’s not every day you see Anthony Hopkins in a UA-cam comment section.
You’re one of the best actors I’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing.
You could tell she really didn't want to say that.
Clarice always had to talk to Hannibal through glass and now Jodie has to talk to Anthony through zoom.
Haha yeah good observation.. 👍😊
So e things never change...
Safer that way
Computers have glass screens
Jodie has the greatest smile ever! It literally makes her look 20 years younger on the spot.
Missed opportunity for Anthony to open the call with "Hello, Clarice".

He made up for it with “bye Clarice”
A few people commented before watching the whole thing apparently.
I mean that's so ironic because he never says "Hello, Clarice" he says 'Well, Clarice" or 'Good Morning, Clarice"
@Angelbob77 so well and wise comment.
Jodie Foster is so comfortable with her skin and her body; any other acters will be gone under the knife many times by now. And Sir Anthony Hopkins a legend! Two legends.
I believe she and Mery Streep have said they'll never do it.
She looks awesome though.
But still look better than who did it
Jody has always been so beautiful. I’m glad she understands that and hasn’t tried to remain young
It's nice to see celebrities who would rather age naturally, to be themselves instead of following that trend of the Hollywood plastic look.
Anthony actually helps me look forward to aging and all life may bring. What a beautiful human being.
Unless you get dementia ofc.
I totally get what you mean! He seems graceful and just kind. Older and getting better even in his craft. It’s a wonderful thing. I love that he’s still challenging himself with piano and anything else he can get his hands on to stay mentally active. I hope he has a loving home environment around him. I truly wish Anthony all the best.

Makes you wonder why she didn’t consult her own grin in the mirror rather than letting Lecter spoon-feed her crumbs of information.

You never know. It’s possible he could hang around awhile and be another George Burns! He seems healthy and sharp as a tack.
Her insight about Clarice feeling handicapped and turning that insecurity into her superpower is very interesting and is one of the reasons she’s such an impactful hero
Jodie's performance in the Accused is one of the very best on film. Let alone the Silence of the lambs.
Agree!! I've watched both The Accused and The Silence of the Lambs many times.
She won the Oscars in both films 😊
Agree. In The Accused her vulnerability is so amazing. Even though I cannot relate to her, you care about her so deeply
She is totally underrated
I like both films and she won 2 Oscars for them. Frankly, two total different characters in 2 movies, but she nailed it like 2 different actors. Great performance 👍
The reunion we didn’t know we needed. Iconic af
Too bad Jodie hasn't made more films, she is so beautiful, unique, authentic.
I suspect it's probably because she was working from such a young age - like, literally as a young child (she was the Coppertone girl) - and all the stuff she did with Disney, etc., she probably tired of it earlier than most.
amen...she is a rare gift
Also she is worth $100 million so she can afford to be fussy with her projects.
Besides, she's been busy doing non-acting work. She is talented in several areas.
She's extremely intelligent and engaged in other areas, so I think the process line of making films would probably bore her.
Jodie Foster is a shear genius!! Clarice is such an icon
Sir Anthony! Congratulations on your Academy Award. Just by doing what you do so well, others have been moved to reward you with the highest honors. A life of relevance and generosity. Well done.
this was amazing
what you doing in my cell
@@jimmy87587 hahaha!!!
Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster again and such a great conversation. It's like two old friends picking up where they left off. Love them both.
Silence of the lambs is my favorite horror/thriller movie and series.
Have you read the books? There's heaps of plot details that didn't make it onto film, if you enjoy the movies you owe it to yourself to get the whole story in print. And the movies are over and done in 90 minutes, read the books and you can live in that world for hours..
star ive read all the books and yes the books go into so much more detail, silence of the lambs is my favourite film of all time and getting Anthony Hopkins to play hannibal was pure genius he played it so much better then Brian Cox in Manhunter
@@angelaw94 yes Manhunter was strange wasn't it? like they were making a really good movie and halfway through they just gave up
@@wanderinstar8838 its was the same with the Hannibal film no Jodie Foster so the connection with Hannibal and Clarice wasn't the same as Silence of the lambs ,just hope they NEVER try and do a remake of silence of the lambs 😎 am watching the documentary of it now
@@wanderinstar8838 Very Glad that they didn't use the ending for the sequel Hannibal I did not like what they did in the novel for that one.
Anthony Hopkins is legend of legends. He is living classic. The best actor.
Thank you, You’re rare gem fan, how long have you been a fan?
Anthony Hopkins is BTS of cinema.
After all these years Jodie still looks so cute and beautiful
i just rewatched silence of the lambs and then find this video. Anthony Hopkins.. what a great actor, master of acting. He's so lucky in his old time he still be able to do the job that he has already a master on it. So inspiring..
The reunion we all needed. I wish they were together in person.
I accidentally read it as "in prison" and it made better sense.
Lol! I also read "prison" and was about to give the first comment a thumbs up for this joke
But still I am giving a thumbs up 🤣👍
Jodie Foster is an actor of exceptional talent, depth and beauty who was always ahead of her peers, by the time actors of her age were in their diapers she was making commercials, by the time they learned to speak, she was making movies for Disney, by the time they starting going to the school, she was winning awards and getting nominated for the Oscars, by the time they decided to enter films, Jodie decided to leave it behind and enjoy the ivy league world which she graduated with magna cum laude, by the time her peers had their breakthrough she already had won two Oscars and transitioned to the director's chair. An extraordinary talent, who's contribution to cinema is unparalleled and exquisite. A sheer gift to the world of acting and filmmaking
They both live in my mind, rent free.
What a dear, dear man Anthony Hopkins seems to be. So unassuming.
Jodi Foster seems so down to earth too!
Variety decided to save 2021 with this video, and for that they have my respect.
🎂 YEEEAAH ❣ wonderful. it was time for those two to talk. Great stuff !
THIS IS GODDAMN ENRICHING!
Such a wonderful man, humble, and my fav actor of all time, since the first time I saw him in 'Magic'. So terrifyingly good at all roles, a gift, no doubt, and one that I have grown up with throughout his long career. He's still wearing well, God bless him. Jodie is a diamond also x Nice to hear the two chat, it really is xx
This is amazing! I wasn't even born when Silence of the Lambs was released. But it's in my top ten films ever. And Antony is my favourite actor of all time. To have seen it in theatres. Would have been an amazing experience.
I can totally relate tbh
My mum, brother and I (teenager) went to the movies without knowing what we'd see. We picked Silence of the Lambs because of the poster - it had Jodie Foster and I liked the "butterfly". 😳 So we went in literally without knowing anything about it. Well we came out shocked 😂 To this day, I still think it's best way to see that extraordinary film.
@@GotTheTravelBug EXACTLY! seeing a film you know nothing about that blows you away!!! Very rare for that to happen. But the absolute best when it does.
I was 15 yrs old in Fort Collins, CO back in Feb or March of 1991 and my mom and brother and sister and I went to see it at a theater near the CSU campus. Of course I was young cinephile who took on many emotions while watching movies...and watching Silence of the Lambs on the big screen was one of the most enjoyable, consistently engrossing and horrifying pieces of moving images I had seen at that time in my life! I fell deeply in love with Jodie and wanted to see everything Anthony Hopkins was in. I remember the whole audience gasping and screaming in the theater at certain moments in the film...and on our walk back to the car afterward (at night in the dark), everyone who was also leaving the theater was walking close with their families together, almost paranoid about who was in the darkness. Great times for sure!
Anthony Hopkins is a treasure. Such an amazing person, and great actor.
And Jodie Foster could never be replaced in her role as Clarice.
One of the greatest films ever.
Probably the best pairing of actors I've seen in these Variety videos. What a gift you've given us fans!
Exactly!
One of
I agree, love them both, Jodie is my age, grew up watching her.
Cate Blanchett and Ian McKellen as well
These 2 r the 2 true legends of acting. Impeccable. Especially Sir Anthony Hopkins.
Sir Anthony Hopkins has always such a happy energy. This make his job as Lecter even more impressive. He always seems excited about work. His role in westworld on first season as Dr. Ford was amazing too and his twitter account its pure joy.
Whoever pitched on pairing these legends together should get a raise!
Tony looks fantastic for his age and as sharp as a knife ❤️❤️
The reunion that we were all waiting for. This is amazing!
Riveting conversation. I could listen to these two talk all day. Fascinating to hear the behind the scenes especially of the Father and Silence of the Lambs. I love their sense of humor, too!
I could listen to Sir Anthony Hopkins talk All day with Jodie Foster 😄 I mean I'm home all day already 🤗
One of the greatest movies ever! Anthony and Jodie were perfect in this movie.
They are the best--period. The most flawless duo acting in screen history. And I love the love and great respect each has for the other.
The best piece of advice I ever got from Anthony, when preparing for a role is to read the script (all of it) 100 times. I did that when I was offered the lead in Picnic. I'd read Stanislavski, but never acted before. I only flubbed my lines once, the last night. My costar covered for me. Thanks Anthony! I'd encourage anyone to get involved with local theater. It's Marvelous.
More Actors on Actors like this, please. The amazing amount of pure adoration for each other these two have is palpable.
It was lovely seeing Anthony and Jodie together again. Old friends reminiscing about a wonderful time in their lives. Love them both and I am looking forward to seeing The Father. I have always loved Jodie, ever since she was in The Courtship of Eddie's Father when I was little girl. I was jealous of her because I had a crush on Brandon Cruz who played Eddie. We were the same age so it was pretty funny watching her in movies and I wanted to be in them. I loved her in The little girl that lives down the lane, with Martin Sheen. Creepy movie, loved it. Glad to see Anthony Hopkins looking forward to doing more movies. ,🤗😘
I've watched a whole of movies, and both of their performances are among the most memorable I've ever seen.
The relationship of Hannibal and Clarice is forever etched in my mind.
RENT FREE.
I'm so glad he's doing well. I was fortunate to have had breakfast and a nice long chat with him about life in August of 2000 in Charleston, SC. He is such a gentleman, kind, extremely talented of course and insightful. Jodie is a great actor as well. Loved this interview.
Wow! I would have loved to be a fly on the wall for that conversation. How lucky you are to be able to say you had breakfast with Sir Anthony Hopkins.
Anthony Hopkins is absolutely one of my favorites ! The level of skill and talent this man has is mind blowing. The fact that he can just learn the lines on paper and have the out come that he does without going “ method “ I mean he could be the best !! These two characters in silence of the lambs are a match made in heaven. Such a joy to watch
two of the most brilliant actors talking here. Their on-screen chemistry and intense performance in Silence o.t.l. was breathtaking..
This is a real treat. I read the book once a year. The story and these performances, I’m not sure we will ever see anything like this again. The way it was shot was so groundbreaking.
Everyone I meet who tells me they love the film I say, "Have you read the books? Coz you HAVE to read he books" if you enjoy the film there's so much story that didn't make it onto the screen ( *I still haven't read or seen Hannibal Rising)
@@wanderinstar8838 the books are sooo good! They creep me out every year
Silence was truly monumental storytelling and acting.
I however ...absolutely love CONTACT with Jodie Foster. If you ever read comments Jodie, your work was the pinnacle of Carl Sagan. His message in: BROCA'S BRAIN and DRAGONS of EDEN was perfectly illustrated by the nuanced acting. Bravo.
I gotta see it
My fav mivie oat
If you get a chance, listen to Jodie Foster's DVD commentary of Contact. It is more like a relaxing personal conversation than a commentary. I like it immensely.
Hopkins is the last of those great actors, true master, not many like him left,
I do think there are still some out there who are in it for the art. Especially if you also look outside Hollywood. But sadly those movies don't get as much attention and there are WAY more ordinary actors and movies out there. Quality gets overpowered by quantity. But there are still some very talented artists left in my opinion
There a lot of good actors out there
Robert Duvall is one of those old greats too, what he did even with his supporting role in Jack Reacher was mesmerizing. I will miss him so much when he passes.
What are you saying? There are many masterful actors today. I suggest you watch some of The Rock’s movies.
@@viliamvacula8111 great joke man, made me laugh at 04:13 :))
Two beautiful human beings what a blessing to have them in the world.
She is so lovely and they have such a connection. This was a complete pleasure. Thank you.
It was so fun being a fly on the wall while these two geniuses discuss in the most down to earth way thoughts and feelings about the film and more!
I've loved their work for so long. They've done so much great work!!!
Two class acts - what a lovely way to spend half an hour.
Loved every word.
Two exceptional talents, together again.
It will be a terribly sad and tragic day...when we learn Sir Anthony has been taken from us.
Terribly.
He's truly a living legend.
Two iconic actors that played such iconic characters throughout their long careers, and none more than Hannibal Lecter and Clarice Starling. These are the last of cinema’s greats. Felt like I was eavesdropping on a private conversation between them.
Jodie mentioned her mother in her speech at the Golden Globes in 2013 and it's the most moving part of a speech I've ever witnessed. She's very eloquent.
Thats crazy, Anthony mentioned his father in his oscar speech lol
Anthony Hopkins 100% my all time hero everything he does is brilliant I have such appreciation for his work
Jodie Foster looks so happy, love her smile❤️
Silence of the Lambs is one of those movies that you kind of forget about for a while, then notice it's on TV that night, so you watch it again and realise all over again just what an incredible film it is. I don't know why I don't ever seem to think of it when I list my favourite movies, because it's definitely one of my all time favourites. Kinda strange that I keep forgetting about it. Maybe it's because of psychological scarring from Anthony's amazing performance, haha.
Jodie Foster is by far the greatest actress of the past 40 years, and my all time favourite too! And I’ve always loved Anthony! Love them and silence of the lambs forever! Just simply supreme!👍❤️
Jodi Foster is one of my all-time favorite people/actors. Throughout her career, I grew up with her from a child to an adult. She has been like family since we are the same age, although we never meet! I have enjoyed watching her life as an actress, and every year she gets better and better. I have also watched Anthony Hopkins' many films and have enjoyed the power he projects into his characters. I haven't heard about the Father or The Mauritanian; thanks, I'll be watching them as soon as I can.
Why did I never think I’d see something like this? Brilliant video!
I just watched Silence of the Lambs again and then this interview. Clarice was so brave and Lecter so menacing. These two played them perfectly. I can’t describe how much I love Sir Anthony and how proud he makes me to be Welsh. And Jodie Foster may not think of herself as an actor but she’s gifted and was born to bless us with her talent. Lovely see them both again - Hii Tony and his scary Bye Clarice 👏🏻
Always admired Hopkins lighthearted approach to acting, especially when so many actors take their method (and themselves) so seriously.
You can clearly see he had so much fun playing that character, the glee he has reliving it in this interview.
This interview was great. I loved seeing them together and especially the stories about Silence of the Lambs. I'm going to watch both of their new movies this year.
Words can’t describe how happy I was when I heard they’d be doing this
Such a treasure to see these legends reunite
Hands down the most chilling movie I have ever seen.... beyond brilliant!
I’m glad they could reunite for this awards season and to make each other more at peace with one another by themselves and not just their characters.
After watching Westworld season One, I texted my buddies and declared to them that Anthony Hopkins is the G.O.A.T. of acting.
The route that Jodie took from being a child star, to a amazing director and actress, to her bravery with her personal life, her kindness and genuine qualities show in this interview.
Shes fair, considerate and fair. A true director.
Anthony saved me from my alcoholism, his voice and actions; from being a painter, poet, actor, addict ... his voice and soul has saved me. Hes an idol of mine. They both deserve happiness and health cause they're good people, but their work and efforts have saved my life.
Bravo to Vanity for the idea.
Bravo to the actors.
Round of applause of decent people.
Very thankful to have lived a life having their talents and wisdom.
Bravo.
If they ever read this comment:
Thank you for being you.
All the best to you! I have people I feel that way about as well. 💫😊
I have a friend that does makeup in the movie industry. She was able to get me in to meet Mr. Hopkins for a quick 2 minute "hello" and a picture. She told him that I was a huge "Silence of the Lambs" fan. When she took the pic of him and I, I was smiling. Without even asking him, he made the "Hannibal Lecter" face. It looks absolutely terrifying. I LOVE the picture :)
Thank you so much for your unconditional love and support towards my movies and career. It means a lot to me and I appreciate you from the bottom of my heart 💖💖....
Besides being a classic horror, and only horror movie to win an Academy Award for Best Picture, this movie to me will always be romantic. Saw this in the movies, 1991, with the love of my life.
that's lovely. a beautiful movie too.
My love asked me in the movie theatre if I wanted to see his butterfly collection......
I feel so grateful to watch this, its literally a film I've seen a 100 times and get something new out of it everytime.
