Anthony Hopkins Serenades with “Tuesday Tunes” in an Empty Hotel Lobby
When you think of Sir Anthony Hopkins, your mind might immediately go to his iconic role in The Silence of the Lambs or his incredible decades-long filmography. But beyond the silver screen, Hopkins has more talents up his sleeve. This week, the 85-year-old actor revealed another side to his artistic expression: his proficiency at the piano.
A Symphony in Solitude
Taking to his Instagram, Hopkins posted a video from a vacant hotel lobby. As the camera rolls, he is engrossed, fingers dancing gracefully over the piano keys, producing a melodious classical tune. It’s a serene scene that captures a moment of pure tranquility. “When an empty hotel lobby is the perfect venue…🤪,” he mused in the caption, marking the video with the whimsical tag “Tuesday tunes💙.”

Eternal Echoes
This isn’t the first time Hopkins has showcased his musical flair to the world. Earlier in February, he had graced his fans with another piano performance. This piece, however, held a special place in his heart. Named “Eternal”, it was a piece composed by Hopkins himself, dedicated to the admirers of his NFT art series, fittingly titled the Eternal Collection.
A Deeper Glimpse
But amidst the tunes and serenades, Hopkins also unveiled a personal reflection. In the video he shared, he opened up about his struggles, delving into topics seldom discussed in the spotlight. “I didn’t realize that it was a kind of condition — mental, physical, emotional condition called alcoholism, or addiction,” he confided. Even with his global recognition and accolades, the actor reminded his audience, “I’m not an expert on drugs — I’m not an expert on anything. I know nothing.” A humble confession, which ended on a more positive note, highlighting the brighter chapter of his life, “Except I have found a life where no one bullies me.”
A Renaissance Man
Anthony Hopkins is no stranger to accolades for his acting prowess. But as he moves away from the spotlight, these candid moments show us a multifaceted artist. Whether it’s through his classical piano pieces, his contemporary NFT art, or even his personal musings, Hopkins continues to enthrall and inspire, proving that his artistic journey is ever-evolving.
