A simple proof that even legends never stop learning.

Hopkins balances some humor in the video by wondering, ‘I’m just wondering if I should paint this guy,’ before breaking into a giggle with a view to turning this light-hearted conversation into an unveiling of the humility of the artist himself and his readiness to take up a new charge on painting at the age of 86. With Ray Charles worthy tunes playing away in the background, the ambiance glows with nostalgia filling this pure moment.

Soon, the post was rained with appreciation from all over the globe, with many fans expressing appreciation for Hopkins not only for his immortality in acting but also for his down-to-earth attitude. One said, ‘He is one the reason why this world is still beautiful to smile’; another said, ‘genius, my absolute favorite actor.’

Others certified that Hopkins has traced the path through generations. One from Argentina said, “A great… complete artist… greetings Anthony Hopkins from Buenos Aires,” and another from Hungary calls him “favorite actor forever.” Not that some actors couldn’t afford to comment, with Lupita Nyong’o remarking in Spanish to mean: “The coolest of actors by far.”

Also worthy of mention are Hopkins’ attire; his bright-colored, art-inspired shirt was called “a piece of art.” Another follower said, in one breath, “So colorful shirt, also nice color too.”

What stands out in the comments is a universal appreciation of Hopkins’ authenticity. Whether he’s a blockbuster or a casual reply to less-than-honest-zany painting attempts, apparently to the fanbase, the followers care just as much for who he is when he is not an actor. Another comment sums it up: “You’re amazing now and forever in my heart.”

Hopkins has always been open about painting, at times sharing his work across social media. The present one suggests he is still a willing learner to learn more about his art, hence saying curiosity and creativity never decay with age; they only increase.
