I like Anthony Hopkins even more now.

It is extremely refreshing to see an actor take this position. Sadly, the new generation of Hollywood stars has a different opinion. Take Mark Ruffalo, the millionaire actor who recently endorsed Bernie Sanders. This multi-millionaire (who's reportedly worth $30 million) wrote on Twitter that "it’s time for an economic revolution. Capitalism today is failing us, killing us, and robbing from our children’s future."

Brad Pitt? I ate His liver with some fava beans...

[Pearls Before Swine]

A man who knows his limitations.

Most actors and entertainers use political controversy to provide them the attention their acting talent will not do.
Hopkins doesn’t have to use that tactic.

[Maceman]

No argument there.

I think he pretty much does make a statement by saying actors are pretty stupid, at least the ones who comment on politics.

[Eleutheria5]

He’s definitely the smartest actor since Anthony Quinn passed on.

[Gay State Conservative]

OK,that's a plausible explanation. Another good one I heard of was from Michael Jordan when he said he doesn't talk about politics “because Republicans buy sneakers too”.

Successful actors are those who succeed in pleasing producers,
One way or another...
And always have been.

Hello Clarice.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Actors are stupid.
Some of them prove it every time they opine.

[TADSLOS]

Refreshingly Honest.

Anthony Hopkins <=== Rare SMART Actor

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

You know why these celebrities are speaking out, is because Trump is shutting down their child trafficking networks and drug pipelines.

And ironically, one of the loudest voices is De Niro. You would think a guy like De Niro would take a hint from one of his characters in his mob movies. He would simply just shut up. The fact that he's screaming about Trump tells me he's done some nefarious s--t.

[CodeToad]

He just moved up bigly in my book.

[A_perfect_lady]

I remember Brad Pitt saying the same thing about 15 years ago, that he was just an actor and don’t ask him about this stuff.

[TigersEye]

By his statements he reveals himself to be a pretty smart actor! :)

Here is Hopkins and Pitt together in a movie role.

I know that Pitt is a full blown liberal.

But this is a great movie(related to Death Takes a Holiday):

I watched an interview with one of the top Supermodels once. she was asked what it was like to walk by a newsstand and see their picture on a dozen magazine covers. The answere: “It’s not like I discovered a cure for cancer or something. Somebody just thinks my image will sell their product.”
