Anthony Hopkins | Born 1937

This year, Sir Anthony Hopkins has written another page in the book of history by becoming the oldest person (at 84 years old!) to bag an Academy Award for acting. Quite the contrast to the usual atmosphere during awarding, but it is worth noting that the legendary actor received his second Oscar from the open countryside of Wales where he has been spending his holidays. He has been sharing glimpses of his trip to his hometown on his Instagram account, most notable is his acceptance speech where he pays tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman who passed away last August 2020.

The 1960s was a big decade for Hopkins when he became known for starring in The Dawning, The Remains of the Day, and Amistad. He has been nominated for numerous Oscars and takes credit for receiving the prestigious award for his performances in The Silence of the Lambs and The Father.
