I never realized how funny Anthony Hopkins really is. Such a quirky sense of humour, I love it!
His TikToks are so cute 😂
Welshman. They have a very specific flavour of personality.
He’s a legend🎉
I am in love with Anthony Hopkins. He portrays every character through his eyes, body, hands, facial expressions, mannerisms, and all sorts of subtle ways. We are so blessed to have the pleasure of watching him perform.
Me too.
Absolutely, well said.
Conan O’Brien is so right. Sir Anthony Hopkins has some beautiful eyes that perfectly convey his emotions without requiring him to say anything.
Anthony Hopkins has such a magnificent voice. That Brando impression though 😂
Every time I hear Anthony Hopkins voice I’m instantly transported to being 10 watching Zorro! Absolute legend!!
Im taken back to my birthplace - Pontrhydefen ( Richard Burton born there) local to Sir Anthony.He has a cat - Niblo I remember my grandmother calling me that as a young boy.Great memories that i still call home,I live in Australia now but Wales will always be home.
Never ever have I expected this duo to come together. Thanks for uploading this, two legends in their respective fields!!!
"I love bread" really hit me hard. I can relate. That's my biggest curse too lol
That might be the best Brando impression I have heard🤯
Conan can't help but feels flattered when Anthony Hopkins says: "You are crazy" (2:22). Who wouldn't?)
Brilliant actor. Hes also a composer and painter
holy smokes, we just witnessed the greatest marlon brando impression of all time
For a small country we produce some absolute legends 🏴
We sure do.Cymru am Byth.

Which part of that production process did you personally partake in?
@@produkcija-Igor well I can produce a language from my mouth you can’t understand, that’s pretty legendary
Wow! A pleasant surprise😊. Didn’t know Sir Anthony Hopkins ever came on Conan! And judging by what Conan said at the end, I am guessing he has been on Conan multiple times prior to this interview. Please upload those. Thanks for this one.
When mr hopkins said william shatner would escape the cell faster i couldnt stop laughing 😂
Beam me up 😅
The world isn't ready for Conan to quit. We need a new show.
Greatest living actor absolutely Sir Anthony.
Ngl Red Dragon was pretty solid and a good ending/tie in to the original film. No need to milk the story.
OMG, Anthony Hopkins does a GREAT Marlon Brando impersonation!
I love all of his movies, thank you Ser Anthony Hopkins 🙏🏽
his voice...man it's amazing!!!!
Hopkins is an awesome Welsh man!
What a treat this guy is. Every time
Wonderful interview ❤😂
I love him so very deeply.
I love that he briefly mentions veggie tales
I know they obviously talked a ton about his Hannibal character. But I have the urge to watch How the Grinch Stole Christmas, lol.
Anyone who says autistic people can't act has clearly never seen Anthony hopkins act
Okay. But he's not autistic.
@@jodi2847 he is.
no one has ever said autistic people can't act lol.
dude when some one like anthony hopkins makes impression of brando then u know u r the goat!!!!!
He’s so handsome!
That Marlon Brando impression caught me off guard, was really good. Tony is by far my favorite actor.
He does a good Rocky impression too
Hopkins would have been an amazing villain for the Hans and Franz movie
Brett Ratner was making a Superman movie? I think we dodged a bullet there.
We were robbed of Hopkins as Jor-El.
It's quite rare to see Conan humbled by a much smarter guest 😄
That would be funny, and interesting to see William Shatner as Hannibal Lecter. 🤣
William Shatner or Jeff Goldblum would be a tie on who gets to play the lousiest Hannibal Lectern ever...
He is just the best of the best (ever) 💪
True gentleman Mr Tony 👍👏🖐
One of the greatest!
What an actor
Sir ❤
Anthony hopkins is unique actor he has deep skills of acting and no one can match him
Such a great person. Really loved him in the worlds fastest indian.
Every Conan video nowadays seems like a mean sarcastic dig. 😆
It appears that he's still alive. Don't panic. You naturally assume "old person + team coco posting a video of them for no apparent reason = think the worst"
Thanks for letting us know! ✌ I literally read through the comments just to make sure of that 😬
Genius❤️❤️❤️❤️
I would follow this man to the ends of the earth. 😊
His Tommy Cooper impression is amazing.
That Brando impression was so good
He's a Capricorn, we're naturally insane! ;)
I loved your movie, A Beautiful Mind. I Iost my husband to a Mental Breakdown. That movie confirmed my feeling of his Beautiful Mind. Thak you.
Titan of an actor. His Lecter is still by far my favourite, I don't think Brian Cox's is better. Dr. Lecter is a supernatural creature of superhuman abilities, he's more than a normal man, which is what some people seem to like about Cox's performance. But more than anything Hopkins instilled his with an intangible intimacy and a lust for life equal parts impish and tender similar to Caliban musing on his island... I read the book and the only difference is the colour of Hannibal's eyes, everything else is Hopkins. He wore Harris' prose like it was his own skin.
I never realized how much Conan looks like Chris Reeves and yea Hopkins is just brilliant and such a fun person.
This guy is showing off just in front of one of best achors of all times !
Coan and Hopkins
"I play a vegetarian this time ... he lives in Broccoli." Now I believe that "terns" pun was also his doing!
whips out easily the best brando impression like its nothing
Interesting fact : anthony hopkins descends from the Davies family of wales who all descend from emperor constantine
Anthony can do a buff Hannibal and be Hannibal Flexxer.
Conan is out of control hilarious 😂
He’s 85 years old people. Never seen such a lively old person. Can’t imagine how many children… we have to protect our children !! He might eat them!!
Hannibal doesn’t eat children
woody allen wouldn't last 2 days attempting hannibal lecter. lol
I think mads milkensan did a decent job
Hopkins is much better than Cox
Did he play Supermans Father?
No wrinkles at 85 wow, no Botox either.
This video is 22 years old...
Goku 👋 hi. Just passing by dr RxR 😅
God
Little did they know..... they WERE stupid and wreckless enough to try for a different Hannibal. The first time they tried (handful of years later) they failed EPICALLY! Gaspard Ulliel (whoever th he is, I still dont know) was NOT the right choice! It took them a decade or so before they finally found the right actor that made them confident to take the leap again...... Mads Mikkelsen!!! He IS a well known actor and a D@MN good one, at that!!!! He NAILED it as Hannibal. No one can EVER outshine (or out crazy) Anthony Hopkins..... but Mads sure as hell did an outstanding job trying! He was fantastic in his own right!!! I hope they dont try recasting again though.... leave Hannibal as the classic that it is because it was perfect to begin with.... that means there isnt any room for improvement!
Father
Anthony
Hopkins
My
Ah, the late great Hannibal Lecter
❤
He’s so full of life is terrifying to think how much adrenochrome it’s took.
Are you sure that's what it is?
@@heightsofsagarmatha of course not. He's either joking or insane!
Anthony Hopkins sounds like Alan Watts. Reincarnation of difference?
Dr Kellogg is much better
the psycho man
It is in poor taste
Why does Conan sound like Ben Shapiro
autistic king
Brian Cox is the definitive Lechter.
this is fact. Anthony Hopkins is one of the best actors that walked the earth, but Brian Cox played Hannibal _way_ better.
Brian Cox is one of my favorite actors. His performance in the long kiss goodnight is excellent and really funny.
typical conan to make it about himself in less then 10 seconds, conceited like nobody on earth
Oh hush
Go watch Fallon's artificial laughs then.
Its really sad to see that Anthony Hopkins only would another Hannibal movie for more money. Actors need more soul and less money.
GOD he was so amazing in The Edge.
Top guy.
He seems like a really nice guy
rest in peace
???? Conan and Anthony are both still alive.
@@NeoConnor1 Anthony Hopkins is deceased
I actually really want to make a Hannibal movie but it's about a celibate vegan that gets hunted and framed by a global corporation of cannibalistic kiddy killers 😅🫒🕎
