How much longer will gay actor Anthony Hopkins keep it a big secret
that his
male lover Terry Rowley who has been everything from Hopkins
chauffeur, personal assistant, movie stand in and travel companion for
many years?
His wife Jennie has been doing beard duty for years. Her reward is she
gets to
keep her British title of Lady Hopkins and the expensive townhouse in
London
while Anthony Hopkins continues to play his game of charades and use
people.
He is seriously mental.

Stranger things have happened. Liza Minnelli's father Vincent Minnelli
was
gay and married many times. Both actors Rock Hudson and Raymond Burr
denied being gay right up to their deaths. There are more closeted gay
actors than there are out and proud.
Many gay actors marry and procreate all the time.
It's a cover so they can appeal to and cash in on the heterosexual
fan base which is the majority of customers.
Anthony Hopkins is so gay combined with a bit of schizophrenia.
Both Jennie Hopkins and his male companion Terry Rowley refer to
Hopkins as seething with contradictions and mercurial.
Nice way of labeling him mentally unstable.

It's easy to sit at a keyboard and cast dispersions on anyone. Where
is your proof? I saw elsewhere you made a comment on Liza Minnelli's
new husband as well. Generally, I find that people who make these
kinds of statements are either gay themselves and are perhaps engaged
in some wishful thinking or extremely homophobic. Hopkins has had
affairs with several other women, this has been documented. He is no
saint. Is it possible he is bisexual, sure, anything is possible, but
is it likely? If he were, why would he hide it, it's not like he's
Brad Pitt, trying to get young girls to the box office? Anyway, his
sex life is his business, don't see why it should matter to you so
much as to whether he reveals "his big secret" as you put it.

Hopkins is an AMERICAN and not a "real" Sir and Lady Hopkins is not a
"real" Lady. Its an honorrary title like Sir Rudy of New York.

If he had a big secret, the psychotic OP Damascus would be the LAST

What on earth nakes you think that Anthony Hopkins is Gay ??? He has
been twice married, has a child and in the last few years, several
female companions, this dosn't look like the actions of a gay man to
me!

It appears that they are both happy with their marriage arrangement,
the main reason they live apart is because he prefers to live in the
US and she in the UK, neither are prepared to be unhappy to suit the
other, so they have settled for living apart.
As for 'her reward', that's rubbish - she could divorce him if she
wanted to - obviously she doesn't.
I don't understand how he is 'using people' or why you think he is
'seriously mental' either. Your whole post is really quite baffling.

Although he recently became an American citizen, he maintains dual
citizenship. So, he was allowed to keep his title.

Gossip includes things totally made up - complete fabrication as you call
it. Who are you - police of all gossip? Verifier of all truth? Determiner
of what's harmless and what's not?

Why hide behind whether "the concensus is that the person that started this
thread is a few cards short of a full deck" or not? It's you who tried to
act so morally indidgnant.

Most people here are anonymous. Few things here are verified. All posts

Sorry you are wrong. He was born in Wales - he is British, although he
has recently taken dual citizenship.
His Sir title is not an honorary one either.

This person has been going around the web dropping this garbage in a
variety of places, not just gossip newsgroups. It is done in a
malicious attempt to hurt someone. This person has also been doing it
and using other people's monikers (I won't go into how I know that).
That is not right and it doesn't matter whether it's a gossip message
board or not. What this person is doing goes beyond simple gossip.
So, don't get your knickers in a twist.

PS. If you think anything on the web is anonymous, guess again.
Anyone can be tracked and traced.

True. BUT, the only laws that determine whether
or not Hopkins is still British (and whether he still
holds his title), are British laws. In fact, British
nationality laws do not view the acquisition of another
citizenship or a statement of renunciation made to
foreign officials (ie. US officials), as having any
effect on British nationality. As far as Britain is
concerned, Hopkins is still a British citizen, and
still holds his full knighthood. The fact that the
US views him as being a US citizen has no effect
on his status under British law.

The US State Department has concluded that when
a person naturalizes in the US he may still be
a citizen of his original country, despite the
renunciatory statement in the US naturalization
oath. When this occurs, that person is allowed
to deal with his original country as one of it's
citizens. At the same time, this person is required
to deal with the US as a US citizen, and is subject
to all of the responsibilities and rights that
come with US citizenship.

You are quite correct. Further, Hopkins was knighted in 1993 and
became a US citizen in 2000. He holds dual citizenship.

As to the question as to whether or not he's gay, who wants to know
and why? It's nobody's business here, that's for sure. Anyone who
thinks he is, obviously has their own reasons for thinking so, and no
amount of "proof" is going to disavow them of that notion.

The fact that he's been married twice, has a child, and has apparently
had a couple of affairs (the details of which, we're not privy to)
holds no sway for people whose heads are so far up their own asses
that they're delirious from the smell of their own gas.

These rumours are the product of people who could be outwitted by a
slug. It would be nice to see them do something positive for a change,
instead of slandering people on message boards. I suspect they're
trying to make themselves feel better about who they are by attempting
to drag people down with them into the putrid cesspool they inhabit.
They're bitter and small-minded. Rather pathetic, really.

Just be sure to scrape off your shoe after dealing with them.

My name is John and if anyone wants to know who I really am I'll tell them.
Now to the subject at hand, I have read all the rubbish above and I am amazed at the vitriol some people spew out. What difference does all this make, does it fill starving kids bellies, stop bombs and shells from raining down on them or give them clean water. Have you all thought that all this gossip about people is nothing more that the modern equivalent of 'over the garden wall'.
Personally, I don't care what people are or do, if the're Gay or miserable, prefer females or males good looking camels or whatever provided they keep it to themselves. I object strongly to the way the gay community attempt to humiliate others such as Nuns and the way they have hijacked society. I can only assume that they had so much dirt on so many in high places and could threaten, or those they had nothing on were just afraid they may have. There is a joke that is probably politically incorrect but I'll say it anyway "In the UK during the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries homosexuality was punishable by death, in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century it was punishable by imprisonment, in the nineteen fifties it became permissible between consenting parties, so I came to Australia before they made it compulsory". I don't approve of homosexuality and certainly gay marriage, my main reason is that it makes an absolute mockery of my sixty six years of marriage to some one that nature designed for procreation. As you can see I am now a very old and no I am not a woser or a religious fanatic, in fact I am an atheist and completely unafraid of rudeness and nastiness that certain foul mouthed people might throw at me. It saddens me how many obviously intelligent are unable to express themselves without the use of obscenities. It's more than likely I'll never visit this site again, I only came upon it because I am interested in backgrounds and history of actors and 'actresses' (another politically incorrect word) past and present, some of which is fascinating, such as, I found out that Glen Ford was a naval flag officer during WW2 working in secret services.

I'm not sure I agree with you, it has been my observation over the last seventy years or more that yes those who are introverted gay or straight seem to make fine actors. An extrovert will always try to play themselves, whereas the introvert can shed his or her skin and be something else. I don't think it's the correct terminology to call them fake, it's just that until recently if they were exposed their careers were over and it's not just gays there was a time when the slightest misdemeanor or accusation and they blacklisted,think of the communist purge in Hollywood, look up the Fatty Arbuckle affair, yes it was serious, but today it would hardly raise an eyebrow. So called celebrities (notice I use a lower case c that tells you something) whom I despise, get away with murder these days. I do agree with one of your points or should I say my wife does, she felt absolutely betrayed when she found out Rock Hudson was gay and today she won't watch any of his movies, neither will she listen to Johnny Mathis, I think this a bit over the top, I think he is a beautiful romantic balladeer. And! John Gielgud, Eric Portman, Harry Andrews, Derrick Jacobi to name just a few may have been or are gay, but Oh my what presence.

Wow, such utter hatred and stupidity. It's mind boggling that in this day and age someone could believe something that's so completely uninformed and just plain cruel. It has been proven that homosexuality is not a mental illness - just do a little research through the American Psychological Association. The scientific consensus is that it's genetic and so-called conversion therapy is not only ineffective, but damaging. Do you really think anyone would choose to be gay and opt for hatred, ridicule and prejudice if there was any possibility of being heterosexual? The incidence of homosexuality in the animal kingdom has been widely documented. I don't think anyone can accuse animals of suffering from some sort of mental illness. Even religious institutions are embracing homosexuals, and there is a large population of gay Christians. The verses attributed to condemning homosexuality have largely been shown to be misinterpreted and/or taken out of context. Even if you do believe it to be a sin, Jesus died for ALL sins, not just a select few. If you have such a hatred for gay people (who you obviously don't know on an individual, personal level), it's more indicative of a mental issue you have. Why would you have hatred for a group of people you don't know and have done nothing to you other than you just don't understand them or perhaps there's something about them that you recognize in yourself, and it terrifies and enrages you. Or maybe you were just raised in ignorance and bigotry; taught to hate anyone different from yourself.
