Academy Award-winning actor Sir Anthony Hopkins delves into his
illustrious film and theatre career, difficult childhood and path
to sobriety in his honest, moving and long-awaited memoir. Born and
raised in Port Talbot – a small Welsh steelworks town – amid war
and depression, Sir Anthony Hopkins grew up around men who were
tough, to say the least, and eschewed all forms of emotional
vulnerability in favor of alcoholism and brutality. A struggling
student in school, he was deemed by his peers, his parents and
other adults as a failure with no future ahead of him.But, on a
fateful Saturday night, the disregarded Welsh boy watched the 1948
adaptation of Hamlet, sparking a passion for acting that would lead
him on a path that no one could have predicted. With candour and a
voice that is both arresting and vulnerable, Sir Anthony recounts
his various career milestones and provides a once-in-a-lifetime
look into the brilliance behind some of his most iconic roles. His
performance as Iago gets him admitted into the prestigious Royal
Academy of Dramatic Art and places him under the wing of Laurence
Olivier.He meets Richard Burton by chance as a young boy in his art
teacher’s apartment, and later, backstage before a performance of
Equus&,nbsp,as an established actor meeting his hero. His
iconic portrayal of Hannibal Lecter was informed by the creepy
performance of Bela Lugosi in&,nbsp,Dracula&,nbsp,and the
razor-sharp precision of his acting teacher. He pulls raw emotion
from the stoicism of his father and grandfather for an
unforgettable performance in&,nbsp,King Lear.Sir Anthony also
takes a deeply honest look at the low points in his personal life.
His addiction cost him his first marriage, his relationship with
his only child, and nearly his life – the latter ultimately
propelling him toward sobriety, a commitment he has maintained for
nearly half a century. He constantly battles against the desire to
move through life alone and avoid connection for fear of getting
hurt – much like the men in his family – and as the years go by, he
deals with questions of mortality, getting ready to discover what
his father called The Big Secret.Featuring a special collection of
personal photographs throughout, We Did OK, Kid is a raw and
passionate memoir from a complex, iconic man who has inspired
audiences with remarkable performances for over sixty years.
