The actor told about this in one of the episodes of Present Company Podkaster. To the question, whether Anthony films are reviewing with their participation, Hopkins remembered the entertaining history. He went to show the "silence of the lambs" along with the actress Rene Russo, who asked to make her company. No wonder, because the film was quite scary, so the support during viewing would not interfere with anyone. Perhaps, together with Anthony, the actress was really afraid less, but Hopkins impressed with their appearance on other audience.
Anthony was in a baseball cap and sunglasses. He recalled how a colleague grabbed his hand during a tense moment in the film. Everything went not according to plan, when a strong thunderstorm interrupted the show.
In the cinema all electricity turned off. People got up to go to the toilet and in their affairs, and Renie heard someone said: "It seems, it is Hannibal Lecter",
- recall an actor. Not everyone was ready to encounter him in real life.
Hopkins explained that at some point he took off sunglasses and looked at one of the spectators than him madly frightened. Also, the actor admitted that he did not think so cruelly to make fun of the audience, but this show will be remembered for a lifetime not only by Anthony himself.
