Anthony Hopkins

Anthony Hopkins used to drink so heavily that he’d wake up not knowing where he was. He described drinking as a “poison” that was killing him. In 1975, after a terrifying blackout, he quit alcohol cold turkey and has been sober ever since. He now describes himself as a “recovering alcoholic” and lives a quiet, peaceful life. He does yoga, plays piano, and has said he’s never been happier. The man who once played Hannibal Lecter now gives interviews about the beauty of stillness.
