Anthony Hopkins Trivia Questions

Hopkins became a U.S. citizen in 2000, though he retains his British citizenship. He splits his time between the UK and the US.

Hopkins started painting seriously in his 60s and has since become a prolific artist, selling works and even having his art featured in galleries.

He was knighted in 1993, but it was for his services to the arts, not specifically for that film. He received a CBE earlier in 1987.

Hopkins was diagnosed with Asperger's later in life, not as a child. He has stated he received the diagnosis in his 70s, not in childhood.

He is a skilled pianist and composer, but he had formal piano lessons as a child and later studied music theory briefly at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.

In The Silence of the Lambs (1991), Hopkins appears for roughly 16 minutes, the shortest performance ever to win the Best Actor Oscar.

This is a common internet rumor. There is no credible report of Hopkins performing CPR on a plane; he has joked about it but never done it.

In interviews, Hopkins said he saw the film at its premiere and never rewatched it, finding the experience too unsettling to revisit.
