A life told without disguise
In We Did Ok, Kid, Anthony Hopkins traces a path from Port Talbot to world stages and sets, looking plainly at the turns that shaped him. He recalls the steel town that forged his reserve, the Saturday night film that lit the fuse for acting, and the discipline that carried him through decades of work.
The memoir moves between craft and confession: mentors like Laurence Olivier, chance encounters with Richard Burton, and the meticulous preparation behind roles that became part of cinema history. There is equal space for the private cost of ambition, from addiction to estrangement, and the long climb to sobriety.
Without sentimentality, Hopkins reflects on aging, memory, and the quiet hunger to keep making things. The voice is steady and unsparing, alive to humor and doubt, and always anchored by the question of what a good life might look like when the applause fades.
