Anthony Hopkins Uses New Memoir to Invite Estranged Daughter to Reconnect

The actor calls the decades-long rift his greatest regret, recounting a brief teenage reconnection that later faded.

Overview

In We Did OK, Kid, now out, Hopkins writes that his door is always open to his daughter Abigail and that he wants her to be well and happy.
He describes the lack of contact as the saddest fact of his life and his greatest regret, saying he believed he had no choice when he left.
Hopkins details a short-lived reconnection when Abigail was a teenager, including small roles in The Remains of the Day and Shadowlands and help buying an apartment, before they drifted apart again.
He reflects on a 2018 interview in which he said he did not care about her life and writes that he regrets those words.
No verified public response from Abigail has been reported, and Hopkins has previously said an invitation from his wife to visit received no reply.
