Vedli jsme si dobře, hochu – Hopkins Anthony (2025)

I have a photograph on my phone of me as a child with my father on the beach. I often say to that boy, 'We did well, lad.' Sometimes I ponder how a boy from Wales, the son of a baker, ended up here. My whole life is one big mystery. This book tells my story. – Sir Anthony Hopkins

Anthony Hopkins was born in the midst of the economic crisis in the Welsh steel town of Port Talbot. He struggled in school, and those around him were convinced that nothing good awaited him in the future. However, one fateful Saturday evening, a passion for something he couldn't yet name awakened in young Tony. Thus began his unexpected journey to fame and global recognition.

In his book, Hopkins candidly and with typical British humor describes the significant milestones of his acting career and offers a unique glimpse behind the scenes of his most famous roles – from Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs (1991) to Nicholas Winton in One Life (2023). He also openly shares about his complicated personal life. His addiction to alcohol destroyed Hopkins's first two marriages, damaged his relationship with his only child, and nearly cost him his life.
