Did Anthony Hopkins win an Oscar for The Father? How old is he – and what's his net worth?

Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman star in the Oscar nominated film, The Father, hitting our Netflix screens on Sunday 17 July.

Hopkins plays a man who refuses all assistance from his daughter (Colman) as he ages.

The film is about growing older, mental illnesses and the impact it has on the relationships with family. However, as the movie continues it turns into a tense physiological thriller.

The film received incredible reviews and critical acclaim.

It has been rated a staggeringly high 98% on rotten tomatoes and was nominated for six academy awards, including best supporting actress for Olivia Colman and best actor for Anthony Hopkins.

But how old is Anthony Hopkins in real life? How much is he worth? and did he win the Oscar?

Hopkins is 84-years-old.

There are many similarities between the actor and his character in The Father.

They share the same name, yes, the father in the film is also called Anthony and not only do they have the same name but they also have the exact same birth date.

Whether this was a choice by the actor or writer is still unknown. Although it would be a scary coincidence if not.

Hopkins joked about the role and said: "I didn’t have to act old age, because I am old.”

Anthony Hopkins' net worth?

According to multiple sources, Anthony Hopkins' net worth is a jaw-dropping $160million (£134m).

IMDB lists his total film and television credits as 145, and that doesn't include all the theatre work he has done over the years too.

Hopkins has used his earned privilege to do work for charity.

His charitable activities include donating a series of his landscape paintings to the San Antonio library for their literacy program, Born to Read.

He contributed music which he composed for a fundraiser to benefit the financially troubled San Antonio Symphony.

The Welshman has also spent Christmas Day at homeless shelters in Los Angeles.

Did Anthony Hopkins win an Oscar for his role in the father?

Yes, Hopkins did win the Oscar for his role.

The Father was nominated for six academy awards including best actress in a supporting role for Olivia Colman, who did not manage to win.

The film also collected an Oscar for best adapted screenplay, winning two awards on the night.

The film has been regarded as one of the best in the last few years and will be available for you to watch on Sunday July 17 on Netflix.
