lol, very Malcolm McDowell-ish looking btw Has there ever been such a highly-acclaimed, heavily lauded actor who took himself less seriously than Tony does? |

Has there ever been such a highly-acclaimed, heavily lauded actor who took himself less seriously than Tony does? All of the stories I've heard about Kingsley is that he's the complete opposite of Hopkins: he takes himself far too seriously, and that even when he does things like this, you get the sense that he feels he's above it. And there is the story that he insists on being referred to as "Sir Ben," which caused that kerfuffle with the titling of one of his films. If those stories aren't entirely valid or if he's loosened up in the last few years, though, I'd be happy to hear it. I do like Kingsley. |

lol, very Malcolm McDowell-ish looking btw Has there ever been such a highly-acclaimed, heavily lauded actor who took himself less seriously than Tony does? Jeff Bridges? He hasn't got Hopkins stage pedigree (or any stage pedigree at all), but still.... he pretty much is the "Dude" in real life. So laid back, he's horizontal. |

He hasn't got Hopkins stage pedigree (or any stage pedigree at all), but still.... Bridges is a weird case because he's so naturally down-to-earth that we forget that he's a highly-acclaimed, heavily lauded actor. Hopkins, by contrast, is a RADA grad, a Shakespearean stage-actor, an acolyte to Olivier, a knight of the realm, an Oscar/BAFTA/Emmy winner, and in general carries the sort of gravitas with him we'd expect only the super-serious to have. There's a reason Bridges is so intrinsically connected to the Dude, because that's pretty much who he is in real life. There's little in Hopkins's performances that would lead us to believe he's the lovable goof he apparently is in his personal life. |
