We Did Ok, Kid by Sir Anthony Hopkins is a detailed look into the actor's life and story
With a life that has been lived in the public eye for decades, it makes sense that there might be a perception of the actor that is not necessarily accurate. But with this memoir, we get a better glimpse into his life and inspirations. Not only will we learn about his sobriety journey, but we will also learn about his childhood, his introduction to acting and his family life.
This is more than just a glimpse into his life, this is truly pulling back the curtains on who Sir Anthony Hopkins is as a man.
For a better idea of what to expect from the memoir, check out this snippet from the press release that details a tiny bit of what we will learn about as we begin this read:
"With candor and a voice that is both arresting and vulnerable, Sir Anthony recounts his various career milestones and provides a once-in-a-lifetime look into the brilliance behind some of his most iconic roles. His performance as Iago gets him admitted into the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and places him under the wing of Laurence Olivier. He meets Richard Burton by chance as a young boy in his art teacher’s apartment, and later, backstage before a performance of Equus as an established actor meeting his hero.
