When it comes to retiring, most people can’t wait for the fateful day they leave the world of the workforce and enter blissful retirement!
I mean, I’ve only been working full time for ONE year and I’m ready for my retirement, lol.
You know who isn’t ready for such a fate? Anthony Hopkins!
Anthony is currently promoting his role as Pope Benedict XVI in the Netflix film “The Two Popes” and admits he’s a “workaholic.”
“I act; I paint; I play music; I read a lot. It keeps the brain active.”
“I’ll go on working until I drop,” he told the publication.
The 81-year-old actor recently talked about his plans for the future in the Dec/Jan issue of the AARP Magazine.
He is showing no signs of slowing down!
Anthony says his wife Stella Arroyave is the only reason he knows how to take a break.
“Stella is good at keeping me in a harness,” he joked.
“I spend hours in the studio painting, and she’ll come in and say, ‘Enough.’ I don’t have much common sense.”
Stella is currently working on a documentary about her husband’s life.
“One of my teachers told her I was a mystery [when I was young],” he revealed.
“I didn’t speak to other kids; I didn’t play sports; I didn’t even go to the school plays. But I was tired of being called stupid, and I thought, ‘One day I’ll show you all.’ And I became this other person. My career took off.”
Did it ever!
Way to go, Anthony!
