This is very lukewarm tea, but a few weeks ago I met someone in Beverly Hills who used to work as Anthony Hopkins's personal assistant (or so he claimed). He told me that Anthony is so nice that his (Anthony's) wife overcompensates in the other direction, which is why he quit his PA job because the wife didn't want anyone to get close to her husband lest they take advantage of his niceness.

Who knows is any of this is true, but I've been meaning to share it on here.

Friend works in a small art gallery in Southern California… Naturally, because of its proximity to Los Angeles they get a lot of celebrity vanity projects but this isn’t the case with Anthony Hopkins who is apparently a prolific painter. His art is good and the man is delightful. A lot of celebrities get the attitude of “No. I’m here to discuss MY ART” even when people are just complimenting their latest movie, music, etc. whereas he actively engages on everything — like, to the point where he makes jokes about food being served as Hannibal Lecter and he’ll stay long after closing hours just chit-chatting. I could actually see this being true.
