When you think of the greatest, most respected actors alive, Anthony Hopkins is at or near the top of that list. Only a very select few could have turned 16 minutes of screen time into one of cinema’s most iconic and influential characters: Hannibal Lecter. It’s an absolute testament to Hopkins’ ability.
When he speaks, people listen. Such was the case when he was took a few questions from online interview magazine, The Talks. The interview is mostly a reminiscence for Hopkins. Still going strong at age 73, it’s most likely the prime of his acting career is over. Although, he isn’t stopping anytime soon. Hopkins says it is through acting that he is able to stay young. If he stops being creative, that’s when the slow process of death begins. He even says, “Mortality is the great rescuer,” because it doesn’t allow anyone to know exactly where their life is going. It’s all just one big adventure, essentially. You can certainly expect someone like Hopkins to take every minute of his life and make the most of it. Just look at what the man can do with 16 minutes.
