80-year-old famous actor Anthony Hopkins admitted that he had suffered from alcoholism for a long time.

He said this at the 11th annual LEAP conference in Los Angeles, the publication "Page Six".

Anthony was addicted to wine at the beginning of his career when he was in the theater.

"Everything you do in the theater - drink. It was difficult to work with me, because usually I was drunk, "- shared the actor.

He noted that at that time he was annoyed that his character on the stage always looked "disgusting, ravaged and unconvincing".

"As for my life, I still can not believe what it is, because I would have to die in Wales, drunk or something like that. "- told Hopkins.

However, a turning point in the life of Hopkins was a conversation with a woman from the club "Alcoholics Anonymous" in 1975.

"She advised to believe in God and seek solace in him, and not in a glass," he said..

Since then, according to Anthony Hopkins, he has never touched alcohol.

Recall, previously Orlando Bloom shocked the fans with a trick during the performance.
