Anthony Hopkins Reflects on 2018 Interview About Estranged Daughter
In his new memoir We Did OK, Kid, Anthony Hopkins addresses a regrettable 2018 interview in which he admitted he did not care about his estranged daughter Abigail's life. The 87-year-old Oscar winner candidly discusses his decades-long estrangement from Abigail, 57, from his first marriage.
Comments on Estrangement and Public Perception
Hopkins acknowledges having spoken about Abigail coldly in the press and regrets those words. He explains that tabloids have often misrepresented their relationship, claiming falsehoods such as him encouraging drug use or rejecting her as a child.
"It is true that I have spoken about her in the press coldly, saying in one regrettable interview that after 20 years of not hearing from her, I no longer knew where she was or if she’d ever married or had children, and that at that point I did not care."
He admits this attitude reflected a harshness inherited from his grandfather and describes it as his default emotional stance.
Hope for Reconciliation
Despite the estrangement, Hopkins expresses a sincere wish for reconciliation and well-being for Abigail.
"I hope Abigail knows that my door is always open to her and that I want her to be well and happy."
Memoir Themes
Besides family, Hopkins’ memoir explores his sobriety journey, film career, and personal reflections.
Author’s summary: Anthony Hopkins reflects on his strained relationship with his daughter Abigail, expressing regret for his past cold words and hope for reconciliation in his memoir.
