Anthony Hopkins discusses his lengthy battle with a habit that almost cost him his life.

Despite being 84 years old, Hopkins still makes movie appearances and astounds audiences with his powerful dancing. However, it is well known that he did not live a comfortable old age: the actor has battled alcoholism for about half of his life.

As a consequence, he issued a message of congratulations on his own blog on the night of the new year, emphasizing the importance of his ability to take ownership of his life. After all, it was precisely because of this that he was spared when it seemed like addiction was triumphant.

In a speech, he claimed to his audience that he had been sober for 47 years! The actor also said that when it mattered most, booze had power over him. I know there are many of you who are now struggling with this problem since I am an alcoholic.

I want to tell you to love yourself and be proud of yourself. I am aware of your current situation. Before I acknowledged that I had a problem 47 years ago, I was absolutely helpless. I understood that my severe physical and emotional state is alcoholism, the actor said.
