Hollywood star Anthony Hopkins dumbfounded with frank recognition from his life.

The 80-year-old actor said that for a long time he does not communicate with his only daughter, 48-year-old Abigail. Sir Anthony said that he does not know if he has grandchildren, and does not want to know it.

"I do not know if I have grandchildren, and I do not want to know. I do not care. People make their choice - they diverge, families break up, this is life, everyone continues to live their own, "- commented Hopkins, writes The Mirror.

To the journalist's comment that this position of the star seems to be heartless, Hopkins calmly replied:.

"Perhaps this is heartless. Life in general is heartless, "- stated Sir Anthony.

Abigail is the daughter of Anthony Hopkins from his first marriage to Petronella Barker. The actor left his wife for another, when their daughter was 14 months old.

Hopkins practically did not contact his daughter.

Abigail decided to become an actress and renounced the star's father's name, becoming Harrison. Her career did not work out, although her father secured her roles in two of her films in 1993 - "The Rest of the Day" and "The Land of Shadows".

Finally, Abigail had problems with drugs and almost committed suicide. In this, she accused her "intermittent relations" with her father.

Over the past twenty years, Hopkins and Abigail have never seen or even talked on the phone.
