‘I knew I needed help. I knew it was over’: Anthony Hopkins on alcoholism, anger, Academy Awards – and 50 years of sobriety

-
As the actor approaches his 90th year and publishes an autobiography, he reflects on his early years on stage, being inspired by Laurence Olivier, becoming a Hollywood star and conquering his demons ‘What’s the weather like over there?” asks Anthony Hopkins as soon as our video call begins. He may have lived in California for decades but some Welshness remains, in his distinctive, mellifluous voice – perhaps a little hoarser than it once was – and his preoccupation with the climate. It’s a dark evening in London but a bright, sunny morning in Los Angeles, and Hopkins is equally bright in demeanour and attire, sporting a turquoise and green shirt. “I came here 50 years ago. Somebody said: ‘Are you selling out?’ I said: ‘No, I just like the climate and to get a suntan.’ But I like Los Angeles. I’ve had a great life here.” It hasn’t been all that great recently, actually. In January this year, Hopkins’ house in Pacific Palisades was destroyed by the wildfires. “It was a bit of a calami...

David Adefeso just told his fans and followers that their savings account is a bad investment. Check out what more he had to say.

 'Your savings account is a bad place to hold your long-term investments due to the silent “asset killer” called Inflation.

SIDE NOTE: When I shot this video a few months back, annual inflation was at 5%, but has now shot up to 7% today. With savings accounts currently yielding an average of 0.06%; This means your savings account is on track to lose you -6.94% this year in real dollars….all while you sleep,' David said. 


He continued and said: 'It’s the opposite of what I call “Sleep Money” because you lose, not gain, money while you sleep.

I agree that savings accounts pay little to nothing in interests. For me, I have been holding money in my savings account so I can buy real estate and hopefully make a better return than 0.06%

.' A follower posted this: 'Thanks for the advice and so true. But I have also been losing badly on mutual fund investment in shares. So what’s the alternative that would give me a yield slightly above inflation, David ?' 

A commenter said: 'A 529 Education Savings Plan is a great, higher yielding, tax-efficient, alternative to savings accounts when it comes to saving for education expenses.' A fan posted this: 'thanks for all the advice!' In other news, David Adefeso just showed fans his three sisters, and people cannot get enough of his family. 


Check out the pic that he dropped on social media below. 'My 3 sisters. Guess which is oldest and which is youngest? Ronnie runs a thriving catering business and at the same time manages her husband, BobbyO’s, large medical practice in Dallas FW. Abby is a Medical Doctor. Family medicine. She also makes clean herbal products that enriches our beautiful melanin African skin. And then there’s Mo. She’s has a PhD; so I think we’re supposed to call Dr. Mo. Instead, we call her The Beast! 

She’s changing the African education system one brick at a time; she advises governors and Presidents on policy, and has “hung out” with the Queen of England (I heard more than once!' David began his message.

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

-
Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...
