Anthony Hopkins’ health: The 83-year-old actor is “ignorant” about his diagnosis, saying, “I don’t believe in it.”

SIR ANTHONY HOPKINS will be 84 years old in a few months.

The Welsh actor will turn another year older on the 31st of December.

After a successful career on stage and screen, the aging star was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, which he denies.

In the late 1960s, Sir Hopkins began to gain acclaim as a film actor.

Since then, he’s starred in films such as The Silence of the Lambs, The Two Popes, and, most recently, The Father, in which he co-starred with fellow Oscar winner Olivia Colman.

At this year’s Man Of The Year Awards, held by GQ Magazine, the actor was awarded the converted “legend” award.

However, when told he has a form of autism, the actor became enraged, claiming he “doesn’t feel any different.”

Sir Hopkins was contacted by a doctor in his late seventies who informed him that he had Asperger’s syndrome, but he quickly debunked the diagnosis.

“I don’t know,” he told GQ Magazine.

I don’t believe in it at all.

I haven’t changed my mind.

These are, in my opinion, spruced up.

Maybe I’m mistaken.

Maybe I’m just oblivious.

“It’s known as neurodiversity.”

It’s a fancy label, to say the least.

In one way, I’m very focused.

When I’m in restaurants, I’m aware of it, but that’s just how I am.

“I believe that by tabulating everything, we have ruined the human system.”

“There’s a saying that goes, ‘We’re all screwed.'”

We’ve always been like this, and we’ll continue to be like this in the future.

“The human race as a whole is doomed.”

Sir Hopkins went on to say that, despite having “wonderful brains,” the human race as a whole has “destroyed half the planet,” urging people to instead focus on “figuring out” how to finally defeat Covid.

In 1944, Austrian paediatrician Hans Asperger coined the term “Aperger’s syndrome.”

The term refers to a type of autism that causes people to have trouble socially interacting with others.

Individuals with Asperger’s syndrome may struggle to understand social situations and subtle forms of communication such as body language, humour, and sarcasm, according to the Nationwide Children’s Hospital.

Individuals may also spend a lot of time thinking and talking about a single topic or interest, or only want to participate in a limited number of activities.

These passions can turn into obsessions.
