Anthony Hopkins writing an autobiography: 'It's a weird process'

At 86 years old, Sir Anthony Hopkins still has more to accomplish. The Welsh actor has announced he is writing his own biography.

Sir Anthony Hopkins' next project won't require much character development.

"I'm writing a biography," the famed actor and director told People magazine. "It's a weird process."

"I realized how I'm blessed with one thing. Maybe it's my actor’s brain. I do have quite a memory," the 86-year-old admitted. "I remember days of months in the years."

In conjunction with his own self-reflection, Hopkins says his wife of 20 years, Stella, is working on a documentary about him, and that she has "carte blanche to [cover] everything." 

ANTHONY HOPKINS FEELS 'SO LUCKY' TO BE WORKING AT 86: 'I'M AWARE OF MY MORTALITY'

"It's quite a lot of film. I don't know when it's going to come out," he told the outlet. He was able to share that Jodie Foster, his costar from "The Silence of the Lambs," was interviewed for Stella's project.

Both he and Foster won Academy Awards for the 1991 film.
