Sir Anthony Hopkins celebrates 50 years’ sobriety

Double Oscar-winner Sir Anthony Hopkins urged anyone struggling with addiction to “choose life” and seek help as he celebrated 50 years of sobriety. The Welsh actor, who turns 88 this week, realised he needed help after he was “nearly killed” driving in a “drunken blackout” on 29 December 1975. “I just wish you all choose life instead of the opposite.”
