Hopkins was never shy about his love for animals and, in particular, cats. The audience showered him with love while seeing him enjoying the company of his furry friends. Another beautiful comment was: “After seeing your family, I was completely convinced of how beautiful a person you are. I wish you a long and healthy life with your cats. You are amazing.”

Hopkins truly brought out his comical side in full force when another went ahead to urge him to write a concerto like Beethoven’s, since ‘his music is so soulful, like kitties!’. An added one remarked, ‘On that day YOU should’ve GRRRed for them😸’ alluding to Hopkins’ growl as Hannibal Lecter.
