Sir Anthony Hopkins is getting candid about his journey to sobriety, and the mysterious voice in his head that led him to quit drinking. It\u2019s a voice he believes was God.<\/p>\n

The 87-year-old Oscar winner opened up about his faith in a wide-ranging interview with The New York Times<\/a>. It comes ahead of his memoir\u2019s scheduled release next month, titled “We Did OK, Kid.”<\/p>\n

In the interview, Hopkins recalled driving intoxicated in California<\/a> on December 29, 1975. He said he didn\u2019t care whether he died. Hopkins described suddenly coming to his senses about potentially hurting another person and said he called his former agent to ask for help.<\/p>\n

He described what happened next as an “epiphany.”<\/p>\n

“Some deep, powerful thought or voice spoke to me from inside and said: \u2018It\u2019s all over. Now you can start living. And it has all been for a purpose, so don\u2019t forget one moment of it,'” Hopkins told the Times.<\/p>\n

The actor went on to win two Academy Awards and star in dozens more films. He said he\u2019s remained sober for nearly five decades after that voice, which he stated came from “deep inside.”<\/p>\n

“It was vocal, male, reasonable, like a radio voice. The craving to drink was taken from me, or left,” said Hopkins, best known for starring in films like “The Silence of the Lambs” and “The Elephant Man.”<\/p>\n

He admitted it\u2019s a phenomenon he believes is explained by faith.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t have any theories except divinity or that power that we all possess inside us that creates us from birth, life force, whatever it is. It\u2019s a consciousness, I believe,” he said.<\/p>\n

He recalled another defining moment in the late 1970s, when he was driving through Los Angeles<\/a> and suddenly felt compelled to pull over at a Catholic church. He went into the church and told a young priest he\u2019d found God.<\/p>\n

Hopkins said both experiences convinced him that God is something deeply personal and real.<\/p>\n

“What happened that morning \u2014 when that voice said: \u2018It\u2019s over. Now you can start living and it has all been for a purpose\u2019 \u2014 I knew that was a power way beyond my understanding,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Not up there in the clouds but in here. I chose to call it God. I didn\u2019t know what else to call it. Short word, \u2018God.\u2019 Easy to spell.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
