Anthony Hopkins's Net Worth Is More Than You Think

Acting isn't Anthony Hopkins's only creative avenue. The actor is also a composer, having released an album of his work performed by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (via the Scotsman). "I couldn't say I ever dreamt of becoming a composer, a pianist, or anything else for that matter," he told the newspaper. Adding, "But I did pick up reading music very early and quickly, around the age of five. With this chaotic brain I've always been adept at picking up information quickly. But I've always tended to think in clouds of thought."

With a lucrative career and music as a successful hobby, Hopkins still finds time to use his influence and earnings for important charitable causes. He became president of the National Trust's Snowdonia Appeal in the early '90s, which was created with the aim to safeguard places of natural beauty in the national park "for ever, for everyone" (via the National Trust). 

He also became patron for YMCA Port Talbot in 1987, situated in the Welsh town he grew up in (via YMCA). "I will always be grateful to the YMCA Port Talbot for pointing me in the right direction and giving me the confidence to move forward on that path," the actor said in a statement. Adding, "So, go for it, follow your dreams and above all, have fun."
