Oscar winner Anthony Hopkins has told Brad Pitt in a conversation why it's normal for old people to cry a lot. The alcohol problems of both actors were also discussed.



Hollywood star meets Hollywood star: Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins have looked back together for the US "Interview" magazine on their careers. In a conversation between the two Pitt stated that he had not cried for 20 years. "I'm known for being a non-Weiner, is that even a term?" Said the 55-year-old.

Now, in the later stages of his life, things touched him more - his children, his friends, the news. "I think that's a good sign, I do not know where that takes me, but I think it's a good sign."

Anthony Hopkins, 26, older than Brad Pitt, said it was normal to cry more in old age: "It's not about grief, it's about the beauty of life."

Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins: Hollywood star meets Hollywood star

Pitt also appreciated the privilege of spending time with people who inspire him. So he still meets regularly the famous architect Frank Gehry, who built, among other things, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. "He's just turned 90 and is as creative as he used to be, and Gehry designed some great buildings that make me think, 'We're human, we want a destiny, we need meaning in our lives,'" Pitt said ,

"I did it because it was the only thing I knew"

The alcohol problems of both actors were also discussed. "I do not know why I drank all my life, I did it because it was the only thing I knew," said Hopkins, who, through his portrayal of the psychopathic murderer dr. Hannibal Lecter became world famous in Silence of the Lambs. Looking back, not everything was bad, but he would do something different if he could.

Pitt had spoken in September in a detailed interview with the "New York Times" about his addiction. Accordingly, he had gone to the Alcoholics Anonymous for a year and a half. "There are all these men around you, open and honest in ways I've never heard of," Pitt said.

He had his problems only after the divorce of ex-wife Angelina Jolie asked. "I drank too much," Pitt said of himself. The Alcoholics Anonymous meeting had been a safe place for him, with little condemnation. Also, none of the group Pitts have sold stories to the media.
