Anthony Hopkins has spoken out about the incident that “woke him up” and realized he was addicted to alcohol, the Daily Mail writes.
The 87-year-old actor, who has not consumed alcohol for nearly 50 years, admitted that he once drove drunk and almost caused an accident. “I was drunk and semi-conscious in California, driving with no idea where I was going, and I realized I could kill someone or myself, but I didn’t care,” he told The New York Times podcast.
Hopkins said the tragedy forced him to seek help for alcohol addiction. “You know, I could kill a whole family in a car. I realized I was an alcoholic and came to my senses,” he added. Soon the actor met his former manager at a party and confessed to him: “I need help.” He later turned his life around with the help of a 12-step program in Los Angeles.
