‘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...

The Dancing With The Stars Pro Did Not Name The Cheater In Her TikTok Video After Filing For Separation From Matthew Lawrence In February

-
The Dancing with the Stars pro, 38, posted a video on TikTok on Thursday in which he provided some specifics regarding the alleged adultery of a previous lover. She commented over a clip of herself shaking her head, "When he stated he would never speak with her again, I discovered text messages, Viagra, and a necklace concealed in a pair of his shoes." The only section of Adele's song "Set Fire to the Rain" that was included in Burke's video was the line "The final time." "Definitely, the last time was correct! A final farewell..." Burke added the hashtags "#exessucks #thelasttime #goodbyeforever #hopeitwasworthit" to the video's caption. Burke didn't identify the ex or hint that it was a famous person. In February, the professional dancer and her ex-husband Matthew Lawrence filed for separation. Burke revealed their breakup on Instagram later that month. There isn't a simple way to convey that my marriage is over, she wrote. "I know I have always claimed that I'm an open book with you guys; I do endeavor to be," she continued. "I'm hoping you can appreciate that I won't be making any more comments at this time and that you will respect my request for privacy. I appreciate all of your support and good thoughts; I love you all. "Burke put an end to his remarks. The dancer has been an "open book" since her breakup with Lawrence, frequently posting online insights into the status of her psychological health and emotional processes. Burke has declared that she's willing to consider dating someone fresh. She declared at the outset of the talk that she was "interested" to learn more. "But that doesn't mean I'm prepared to sign up for Raya or any of these dating apps quite yet. I want to start maybe talking to new individuals, "On her podcast, Burke in the Game, she added. "That obviously means that in order to do that, I'll have to start stepping outside of my comfort bubble and my home. It is an intriguing thing."

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...
