Anthony Hopkins has dismissed rumours that he and his Silence of the Lambs co-star Jodie Foster didn’t get along on the set of the Oscar-winning film, calling them “publicity crap”.
The 1991 horror-thriller saw Foster play rookie FBI agent Clarice Starling, who must seek help from imprisoned cannibalistic murderer Dr Hannibal Lecter in order to capture a killer at large. Both actors won Oscars for their performances. Foster has long admitted that she was scared of Hopkins during production of the film, but Hopkins has now claimed this was overegged.
