This man played a significant role in my sobriety. 25 years ago, he welcome a bunch of us newcomers in his home to share and listen. Most were star struck, but i was amazed at his humility and warmth. He hugs like there's no tomorrow. 😊
My husband and I welcomed addiction recovery people into our home for a place of safety to recover. Yes a hug is the best way to know where someones heart is and wether they will make it.
@@rosearmstrongwoodroffe445 What a beautiful calling ! So true about a heart felt hug,it reveals the heart . Thanks for sharing . " Whatever is done in love is never wasted ."
@@elizabethyoung4900so this isn’t an Anthony Hopkins interview it’s a clip from a movie??? But it mirrors his own experience?? Amazing! Incredible actor … though l try not to watch his movies … they all seem so disturbing!
Okay, I give you an example of how powerful an actor Sir Anthony Hopkins is. I thought this was Sir Anthony at an actual AA meeting! I had no idea he was an actor delivering lines in a movie! You don't get more realistic, believable, convincing, and authentic than that. IMHO, he is better than the great Olivier, Brando, or many others. I place him in the hallowed company of comparable thespians as Peter O'Toole, Michael Caine, Dame Judy Dench, and Dame Maggie Smith. His voice is hypnotic. Bravo!
I thought this was a real testimonial until the end. The others said ”Thank you, John.” My father was an AA member for many years. He said they used first names only, and in this snippet they thank John. Knew the great actor was a sober man though.
@@melissasw64 My apologies, Melissa. I probably should not have offered an unverified answer. I have never seen either movie so kindly disregard my guess. Sorry
It was not until I started reading the comments (and I’m still not sure) that I realized he was acting. Everything about his delivery is so genuine. Great acting is simply about being real and vulnerable.
In other words, you were not sure whether it was a character or himself. Could it be because he tends to play himself rather than adapt to the character he's palying?
Good actors play parts that well represent themselves; Mel Gibson comes to mind. Great actors play any part as though they are playing themselves; Antony Hopkins,Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett, Judy Dench.
That’s a powerful statement a beautiful message as broken people on their journey to healing are the most realistic humans you’ll ever meet! Shalom ✌️ God bless 🙏🙏🏾🙏
Undoubtedly. He absolutely puts the best of his whole to it, that's a way he found to show Universe and Life how much grateful he is and how much he value to have been given such chance in this lifetime.
@Dan123. I mean his performance in the father has got to be the best acting I’ve ever seen and I’ve watched a significant number of films in my life time. It felt so real to a point that I started questioning if we were looking into someone’s own private life.
The greatest actor of all time. If you have not watched Shadowlands in 1993, he plays CS Lewis, it’s a masterpiece of both powerful and emotional acting. Truly his best work. He and Debra Winger are astounding. Breathtaking performances.
Yes, that's a beautiful movie. The oldest movies I've seen with him are the Lion in Winter and Magic, great movies too. I also love his most famous role, I've heard he did his Lecter so well that Jodie Foster was too terrified of him to sit at the same table during lunch breaks.
I would say that a great actor doesn't say the lines as if they were his own thoughts. He says them as if they were the own thoughts of the character. I think the problem with Hopkins is that he does what you say. They sound like lines AH actually thinks. There are some comments down below that argue whether the scene is from a movie or from an AA meeting. What creates this confusion? The fact that Antony Hopkins is often indistinguishable from the characters he plays. They become him rather than the other way around.
Mr Hopkins, I truly appreciate and thank you for your speech, and all of your great movies. I also have a daughter that I am not sure where she is and doesn't want to talk. Miss her every day. 😢.
Like Anthony's daughter, I am an only child whose parents divorced. It was horrific because they hated one another. My mother turned me against him. One day, I got a call from my dad asking if I would like to spend a couple of days in Puerto Rico, where he was working. I went. I realized on the flight home that the "problem" was between my parents and had nothing to do with me. That changed everything for me. After that epiphany, I got my father back again.
@@wollysocks1 It’s also happened to me with my daughter. Some say it’s her husband that’s behind it. I’ll probably never know. Yes it’s the not knowing WHY ??? It haunts me but I get some solace in reading Rudyard Kipling’s poem ‘IF’.
How good is the acting here? Good enough so that I was more than 1/2 of the way through before I realized that he was acting. I thought it was a live appearance. It's the pauses. He truly seems to be thinking of what to say next, and how to say it. MASTERFUL.
Anthony Hopkins and Robert Duvall are both capable of great depth of emotional character and wonderful intellect to how they approach their roles.They are Masters in their tradecraft because of the deft ability to be real.
what a great comment ... and i completely agree with you ... its playing as i type this still unsure if this is acting or him just talking. i doubt anyone can do better.
This clip ia Anthony Hopkins in the raw. I got choked up and shed a tear for the loss he has suffered from his human condition. Hes not sorry for himself, he's real and raw and honest. I dont know where he's speaking from but I'm blessed from being the paverbial bug on the wall! Thank you Mr. Hopkins for your skill, talent and presence of self!
This is an acting masterclass. I had no idea this was from a movie. The performance, and particularly the message, is as powerful as it gets. Jesus came for the sinner. This clip is for those most in need.
Astounding piece! The line between reality and cinema is completely obliterated. I'm blown away by this scene. Sir Anthony Hopkins, you are one of my favorites!!!!
We're never supposed to reveal who we saw at a 12th step meeting. Otherwise people might not go. Very important rule in 12th Step meetings of any kind. Whether it's Gamblers Anon, Overeaters, Al-Anon, Cocaine-Anon, etc.
@@GioBruno2006 I have read that Hollywood celebs do not go to outside meetings, but meet in each others' homes so they won't be outted. That's also true of medical doctors who go to meetings just for M.D.'s.
Anthony Hopkins, a great actor and amazing example of what it means to be sober. Thank you for sharing! May God continue to bless you and keep you sober, one day at a time. You are truly a wonderful person.
This is VERY deep. My mom is married to a narcissist and he has kept her away from me for 10 years. I tried EACH AND EVERY avenue to bring him down. Trust me!!!She's in her mind 70's and how I wish to just hold her and tell her how much I love her!
Take all the loveable things that you adore from your closest loved ones and friends ,and I would say that is what Sir Anthony Hopkins manages to portray in his acting persona.I think my Generation (I’m 66 years young ) have been so blessed to grow old along with so many great actors, including Richard Burton Richard Harris Laurence Olivier John Gielgud Glenda Jackson Judi Dench..
I genuinely didn't know this was a movie until I read the description. He's like those films shot in high FPS that people complained about because it's 'too' smooth. It's so good it's almost too good.
Mr. Hopkins is a natural genius performer /artist. It's immediately visible when you see him in anything scripted for him. An original "Larger than Life" talent.
God Bless this man, yes he was one of the greatest actors of all time. He fulfilled the gift he was given and it even overflowed into life where he was able to help others out of the cess pool of the world onto dry ground. That is why I bless him.
How powerful.. God speaking through you..thank you.. God bless you.. I as well have 3 children who will not speak to me due to severe issues in our family.. I pray every day that one of them will show up at my door for I feel that I as well have lost one if them.. I know that if I have that God has them..he promises me that ...
Phenomenal actor! One of the VERY best! CANNOT think of one who's better thats for sure definitely on a par with All the GREATS! (Most of which are no longer alive) Never seen a bad film or bad performance from him! (Not even a mediocre one) Hes phenomenal, powerful in every single role he plays!👌🏴🇬🇧
This hit the heart. I lost my mom at 11 from someone falling asleep at the wheel and at 13 my gpa took me aside and knew I was greatly depressed and I finally told him and he told me ( if it doesn’t kill you f it) he was right
This is the same with me ☺, But on this one , It was not until I started reading the comments (and I’m still not sure) that I realized he was acting. Everything about his delivery is so genuine. Great acting is simply about being real and vulnerable. I have always loved Anthony Hopkins for he has always stated the things of life purely with is words and acting. I am watching from Lincolnshire England. Complement of the season🎄
Decades ago, in a TX mtg, I heard a colloquial and memorable version of that: 'If you got one foot in yesterday and one foot in tomorrow, you're pissin' on today.' Gotta love the panhandle.
That made me cey at the end. No acting, fully vulnerable, truthful, and triggering. Thats a powerful punch in his testimony that was only few minutes long. Much love,❤🙏
You touched a place in my heart Anthony. My eldest daughter has rejected me since she was around 12 years old and she won't tell me why. I love her with all my heart even though she's humiliated me and made me feel "less than" for the past 40 plus years. I pray every day and a few weeks ago during my prayer, I heard these words..... "You can't have everything." Somehow those few words eased my heart and gave me acceptance. I'm grateful for all the love I've been given in my life and that is enough.
I Share This Video Regularly... So Many Lost or Trying to Find They're Way out of Addictions of All Sorts I've Lost Many friends and Family Died because of Addictions I'm Tired of Losing Those I Love I'm Sick of Watching Addiction Destroying People And Families Addiction is A Disease Turned Into a Plague So I Share This Video Often I Use It Like a Weapon Folks Know I Believe in The Power Of Prayer Thank You For Sharing!!🌹
Now, that is acting. I watched the whole thing thinking it was Hopkins talking about himself. I've watched Remains of the Day perhaps twenty times over the years and his performance (and the other actors) never fails to move.
Thank you for sharing, Sir Anthony Hopkins. Yes,this is is an old clip, but you never know who, when, how or why someone is gonna touch your heart when you are in need of just a bit of hope. This dis-ease is progressive whether in or out. And this thing called life? It's a bus stop. Life happens while I wait for the bus. But it sure is easier with the wisdom of the Elder Statesmen. My name is Raqui. And I'm an alcoholic. My recovery date is May 2, 2000. Thank you.💜
This is the day the Lord has made we will rejoice and be glad in it! That’s all we have 1 day! We don’t know what’s coming tomorrow. If you want God to show up in your life all you have to do is ask Him to! He will! Try it!! 🙏🏻♥️
Move on, impossible. Move forward, doable. There will always be a corner in my heart that I weep in the unknowing. Most times I'm able to handle it, even forget for a moment but it is never gone and never better. We are all different and how we treat it afterwards varies but love and loss are eternal.
" God works His mysterious wonders to perform." ✝️🌿 Sir Anthony Hopkins 🌿 This quote was introduced to me by my Mother who kept it posted for all to read and be Joyful of ! Thank you Sir. This has become a cherished quote for me ! 🌿
You don't live only once. This belief makes people do reckless things. Energy is neither destroyed nor created it only transforms. We are energy and vibration as well.
I'm a member of a 12-step fellowship and I have heard thousands of "shares" - although this was a scene from a movie, it none-the-less is powerful and will resonate with anyone in recovery. Not just in the words spoken but the way it was spoken. Whoever wrote it understands the fundamental necessity of absolute, complete moral honesty required to recover in any 12-step fellowship. Mr. Hopkins understands too. Every "good" share should embarrass the person sharing to some degree. If it doesn't, you're not being totally honest. Every day I try to practice the principles in all my affairs.
You are... Amazing! Just heard the whole clip. This beautiful human being can move mountains of emotions with just a few words. May God Bless You! So. Beautifully. Human.
Sir, what you said hit home. My daughter hasn’t talked to me in about three + years, and I always feel I’m the only one who is going through this kind of pain, but I know I’m not. Thank you!
I know of a portuguese poem that goes like this (free translation): "A poet is a pretender. And occasionaly, he pretends so sincerely that he pretends to be pain the actual pain he sincerely feels". Grateful for the truth (+search, +doubts) of Anthony Hopkins (Sir).
Indeed. It was not until I started reading the comments (and I’m still not sure) that I realized he was acting. Everything about his delivery is so genuine. Great acting is simply about being real and vulnerable. I have always loved Anthony Hopkins for he has always stated the things of life purely with is words and acting.

God comes at us on a level we understand. The words you see is just a language each understands. Sone call it profanity, ugly, sinful worlds. But God's timing is perfect. He'll speak the language we will hear and get out attention and tell us what is next in our life. It's the only way we get the message. After all they are just words. I wouldn't even know the same words in another language. But when it's time for us to listen to God and what we must do it will happen. Just like it did with Jonah. I been on this situation myself and something tells me it's coming again. My life changed like an on off switch. Everything I do today is new. It's foreign to me. I'm sure I'm going to get a message. At least he's warning me it's coming. We are all on different paths. Like on a mountain you go west I go east we all learn different lessons we supposed to for ourselves on our life's path. But we reach the top together learning different things that we were meant to learn and meet Jesus and move on hopefully. Just my opinion as an older man today at 63. Love & light!
I will say this, and I’m sure people will contest it. I believe Anthony Hopkins is the best actor we’ve had the pleasure of watching in fifty years.
My favorite: Titus Andronicus in Titus. His prose is like this.
Definitely
Well trained he trained with Sir Lawrence Olivi
Agree!
He’s not too bad is he 😉😂
Agree. Remains of The Day absolutely powerful acting. Wonderful actor.
Omg that's right. And so many of his movies are just like that, just as good performances. Elephant man is another one.
Those who believe in Christ have hope of seeing their loved ones again.

After saying this short prayer, don't forget to give Thanks, always. Amen.
What a humble and inspirational man.
Blessings
A superb actor , always enjoyed his performances.Brave to speak publicly about his feelings.
The present is a gift. That's why it's called "present". Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is in the future, so live today .. that is a true gift.
Decades ago, in a TX mtg, I heard a colloquial and memorable version of that:
'If you got one foot in yesterday and one foot in tomorrow, you're pissin' on today.'
Gotta love the panhandle.
Yesterday "History, Today Blessed Tomorrow Mystery
And he says it all in what is basically his own natural speaking voice with its soft, warm South Wales accent.
I have had the absolute Privilege to Listen to Anthony Hopkins in Meetings … thank you 😊… One Day At A Time …
Love Anthony Hopkins absolutely adored this gentleman I was always fascinated with him and his film, Irish fan Deirdre x
Mr. Hopkins has a special place in my heart
A good man in a very well-written scene.
That made me cey at the end. No acting, fully vulnerable, truthful, and triggering. Thats a powerful punch in his testimony that was only few minutes long. Much love,❤🙏
Will you be kind to tell me what movie it is?
You touched a place in my heart Anthony. My eldest daughter has rejected me since she was around 12 years old and she won't tell me why. I love her with all my heart even though she's humiliated me and made me feel "less than" for the past 40 plus years. I pray every day and a few weeks ago during my prayer, I heard these words..... "You can't have everything." Somehow those few words eased my heart and gave me acceptance. I'm grateful for all the love I've been given in my life and that is enough.
I loved him in the movie The Edge, I still watch it now and again. It’s almost like he bares his soul to you in his acting🙏💯

For Sharing!!🌹
Now, that is acting. I watched the whole thing thinking it was Hopkins talking about himself.
I've watched Remains of the Day perhaps twenty times over the years and his performance (and the other actors) never fails to move.
Thank you for sharing, Sir Anthony Hopkins. Yes,this is is an old clip, but you never know who, when, how or why someone is gonna touch your heart when you are in need of just a bit of hope. This dis-ease is progressive whether in or out. And this thing called life? It's a bus stop. Life happens while I wait for the bus. But it sure is easier with the wisdom of the Elder Statesmen. My name is Raqui. And I'm an alcoholic. My recovery date is May 2, 2000. Thank you.💜
This is the day the Lord has made we will rejoice and be glad in it!
That’s all we have 1 day! We don’t know what’s coming tomorrow. If you want God to show up in your life all you have to do is ask Him to! He will! Try it!! 🙏🏻♥️
Move on, impossible.
Move forward, doable.
There will always be a corner in my heart that I weep in the unknowing. Most times I'm able to handle it, even forget for a moment but it is never gone and never better. We are all different and how we treat it afterwards varies but love and loss are eternal.
"You will see when you're ready to see and you will hear when you're ready to hear."
That touched me. The whole thing touched me.
" God works His mysterious wonders to perform." ✝️🌿
Sir Anthony Hopkins 🌿
This quote was introduced to me by my Mother who kept it posted for all to read and be Joyful of !
Thank you Sir. This has become a cherished quote for me ! 🌿
wow, true acting leaves no trace of acting. Great artist!
It’s not acting! How right you are! It’s not acting-It’s being.
His impact on millions is astounding. Like John Hurt, Derek Jacobi, Spenser Tracy, and many stars of the silver screen, he takes my breath away. ♥️
You don't live only once. This belief makes people do reckless things. Energy is neither destroyed nor created it only transforms. We are energy and vibration as well.
Wow, Hopkins! 'Meant to be. 'Never forget that one, such a step in time.
What’s funny is he hasn’t spoken to his daughter in a very long time and he once said in a interview that he didn’t care but deep down inside he does
I'm a member of a 12-step fellowship and I have heard thousands of "shares" - although this was a scene from a movie, it none-the-less is powerful and will resonate with anyone in recovery. Not just in the words spoken but the way it was spoken. Whoever wrote it understands the fundamental necessity of absolute, complete moral honesty required to recover in any 12-step fellowship. Mr. Hopkins understands too. Every "good" share should embarrass the person sharing to some degree. If it doesn't, you're not being totally honest. Every day I try to practice the principles in all my affairs.
May God grant you peace of mind, Sir Anthony.❤💯🙏💪
His real AA talks are worth listening to.
this guy has made me weep in 3 films now....powerful actor
I love this man so much. I'm glad we have so much of his speaker tapes.
He's an absolutely amazing actor 😊
He has always been my favourite actor. Think he is a master of his craft. When you forget it's acting and really believe the story it's job done.
This is so deeply autobiographical, you'd almost think Hopkins wrote it himself.
The detail of "fuck it" as the shortest prayer is something a monk told Hopkins, so yes.
he undoubtedly did.
You are... Amazing!
Just heard the whole clip. This beautiful human being can move mountains of emotions with just a few words. May God Bless You!
So. Beautifully. Human.
So in love with Anthony Hopkins. So oh in love. True Artist soul
Sir, what you said hit home. My daughter hasn’t talked to me in about three + years, and I always feel I’m the only one who is going through this kind of pain, but I know I’m not. Thank you!
I adore
I love
Anthony Hopkins
No one like him
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I know of a portuguese poem that goes like this (free translation): "A poet is a pretender. And occasionaly, he pretends so sincerely that he pretends to be pain the actual pain he sincerely feels".
Grateful for the truth (+search, +doubts) of Anthony Hopkins (Sir).
“Hearts in Atlantis” is one of his greatest films!
Cannot explain this most beautiful human being. Yes! Humble and the greatest Actor in my lifetime. Sir Anthony gives pure Integrity!!
Indeed. It was not until I started reading the comments (and I’m still not sure) that I realized he was acting. Everything about his delivery is so genuine. Great acting is simply about being real and vulnerable. I have always loved Anthony Hopkins for he has always stated the things of life purely with is words and acting. I am watching from Lincolnshire England. Complement of the season🎄
Anthony Hopkins has hugged the cactus tree of sobriety, that's his greatest accomplishment.
God comes at us on a level we understand. The words you see is just a language each understands. Sone call it profanity, ugly, sinful worlds. But God's timing is perfect. He'll speak the language we will hear and get out attention and tell us what is next in our life. It's the only way we get the message. After all they are just words. I wouldn't even know the same words in another language. But when it's time for us to listen to God and what we must do it will happen. Just like it did with Jonah. I been on this situation myself and something tells me it's coming again. My life changed like an on off switch. Everything I do today is new. It's foreign to me. I'm sure I'm going to get a message. At least he's warning me it's coming. We are all on different paths. Like on a mountain you go west I go east we all learn different lessons we supposed to for ourselves on our life's path. But we reach the top together learning different things that we were meant to learn and meet Jesus and move on hopefully. Just my opinion as an older man today at 63.
Love & light!
My god, he is flawless. And also in The Father…..I can’t pick a fault with him ❤️
Only Jesus Christ was flawless
Do not use God's name in vain. And when you write God, capitalize it. He is our Mighty God . That saves us daily and any second😇☦️🙏🏻
