Headline: Anthony Hopkins ushers in 50th year of sobriety
Caption: Anthony Hopkins has marked nearly five decades of sobriety, revealing to his followers what led him to quit drinking for good. The two-time Oscar-winner shared in a video posted to Instagram that a 1975 incident convinced him to stop drinking, noting, "Forty-nine years ago today, I stopped.". The Welsh actor admitted he was having fun until he realised he was in big trouble, driving a car "drunk out of my skull". Hopkins, known for playing the role of Dr Hannibal Lecter in 1991's The Silence of the Lambs, said the near-miss led him to seek support to deal with his addiction to alcohol.
