The actor has been sober since 1975 according to People, who reported that he celebrated 45 years of clean living after almost "drinking [himself] to death."

In a Twitter video he said, "I was heading for disaster, drinking myself to death. I'm not preaching, but I got a message — a little thought that said 'do you want to live or die?' and I said 'I want to live.' And suddenly the relief came and life has been amazing."

Hopkins has been vocal about his struggles growing up in a "dysfunctional" household and growing up being bullied. Then there's the fact that even though he didn't get his "big break" until the 1991 release of Silence of the Lambs, when he was 54 years old, he began acting at 18.

From all accounts, it seems that he's thoroughly enjoying his life, and his social media accounts contain some of the most wholesome and wonderful content on the internet.

Oh, and he's also one of the most sought-after performers in the world who crushes it in every single role he's in. What a legend.
