I worked with Tony just once
If he does have that chip on his shoulder I must say he hides it very well..
As for your comment 'Not a very nice person to know ' I found him delightful..
He was directing what turned out to be not a particularly good film 'August'but it was a happy time for everyone mostly due to Sir Anthony ( Call me Tony). -

He is my good friend. And i feel s5b4orry for you to say things like that about him. He is one of the best actor and the most famous ever. And you are just a little insect with nothing no talent and a VERY BIG CHIP ON YOUR SHOULDER. Find yourself a life dear boy

Clearly, you're a butthurt Englishman with a chip on
your
shoulder.
Sir Anthony Hopkins is undoubtedly one of the finest actors in the world, the man has incredible range, and speaking as an Englishman, I at least have the objectivity to see that rather than allow myself to be eaten up inside and see my judgement clouded by a few unfavourable comments.
For what it's worth, I do see where he's coming from when he speaks about the English. Hopefully he was 2000making a gross generalisation because some English people really do possess a great deal of heart, but generally one of the characteristics of the average Englishperson, especially one from a certain class and standing, is a certain coldness and aloofness, that you don't find so much among the 'Celtic fringe' you disdain, or for that matter, among most other nations, save perhaps for the Germans and Scandinavians (I apologise for my own gross generalisations here).

The Welsh people have a talent for acting that one does not find in the English. The English lack heart.
Is all this just because of the above comment attributed to Hopkins in his IMDb quotes section? And I thought it was the Welsh (and Scots) who were supposedly "too sensitive".. -

I agree he is a obnoxious tool, I was at one of his movies set once and he was shouting about how bad the lunch was all of a sudden he spoted me and asked me to come close, closer please! and then he asked me to run to his van and bring him a liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti and shouted GO NOW!

You Brits drink like fishes love water. Been across the pond twice. I much prefer the Scots. Nicer. less snooty group. Its a good thing your young teens don't get drivers licenses until over 18 watching them all stumble home from the pubs in Norwich would be scary if they were driving.

Yes well he is turning 80 years old soon. He has more monies and luxury than he can ever use, He has been knighted by the 'English Queen' for his contribution to acting and entertainment.
As for the alcoholism, "Well What Doesn't Kill You, Only Makes You Stronger".
As for the hatred between the Irish, Scots and Welsh to the "Poms" English.
The "Poms" should be more worried about Shariah law and the lose of their own identity and culture.
