Film star Brian Cox is jealous of the Oscar Anthony Hopkins won for portraying Hannibal Lecter – because he did it first.
The 75-year-old Scot played the role of the cannibalistic serial killer in the 1986 film Manhunter, before Hopkins starred in Silence of the Lambs five years later.
While Manhunter gained mixed reviews, Hopkins’ movie was one of few films to win the Oscar in all the major five categories : Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Adapted Screenplay.
