You can Google things now. I go to streets and then move up the street. I look at photographs of my street in Wales or anywhere really.”He added: “I’m always going back there. Most days, I’m back there somehow. The memories are very powerful.”Hopkins, who has released a 12-track album of classical music, was born in Port Talbot’s Margam, where he grew up before leaving to study at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama in Cardiff.In fullAnthony Hopkins misses Wales so much, he goes there every day on Google MapsMore bulletinsThank you for registeringPlease refresh the page or navigate to another page on the site to be automatically logged inPlease refresh your browser to be logged in
