What an accident radically changed the life of Anthony Hopkins

Anthony Hopkins is a world famous actor. You probably know such films with his participation as “Silence of the Lambs”, “Meet Joe Black” or “Westworld”. No one doubts his professionalism and ability to get used to the role. However, not everyone knows what kind of person he is. For example, recently we came across an amazing The case that changed the life of a film actor. This story shocked us so much that we decided to share it with you!



GettyImages A life-changing case In my life, there was a long period when I loved to grab too much. No evening was complete without your favorite drinks and interesting company in the bar. I found them quickly, and sometimes they came to me. I loved hearing their heartfelt stories of all the joys and sorrows while the emptiness lurked within me.



I filled my eyes so often that it seemed like the end was coming. But he never came. It was like life was preparing me for something important. Sometimes I listened to speeches so eerie that I felt uncomfortable. However, one story knocked the ground out from under my feet.

One day a fairly young man came to me. He looked very solid: a chic suit, leather briefcase, expensive perfume. "Would you like to tip over a glass?" he suggested. Of course, I agreed, because I was wondering what such an atypical guest of a run-down bar would say.



Half an hour later, I knew everything about him. At least it felt like that. It turned out that his wife is about to give birth to the first child, and at work a man is waiting for a long-awaited promotion, to which he went for several years. “I am like a bird that has reached the right height. Life is on the rise. You won’t believe how many plans I have in my head, sniffed my new friend and emptied another glass. Then he got up and immediately went out.

Inside me, I didn’t want to let him go. It was like something told me that he had to be stopped. But after a moment he disappeared from the bar, and a second later I heard a sharp sound of the braking car. One that will keep black footprints on the asphalt for a long time. At the same moment I ran outside and almost fell in terror.

Just a minute ago, a new friend of mine was sitting next to me and radiating happiness. And now he lies face to face in the road, drowning in a red puddle. Did this young man deserve such a fate? Why is God angry with him? What am I, an old drunkard, better than that spirited man?



GettyImages is an event that changed the life of an unfortunate man, his wife, his unborn child and everyone who knew him. I learned a lot myself. First of all, never rush. Don’t make God laugh with your plans. All in good time, buddy. And you can't always influence it.”

Surprisingly, this story was not a turning point, after which the actor stopped drinking. This happened much later, and his faith in God saved him. “Suddenly, I was struck by an epiphany: I realized that if I continue in this spirit, I will not live more than a year,” the popular actor reveals. However, this story changed his attitude towards life.. He became calmer and wiser. This is not surprising because it doesn’t happen every day.



GettyImages I wonder if there have been such situations in your life? Maybe someone else’s action has changed you, or maybe a story has changed you. I'm sure you have something to say. We look forward to your comments!
