Sir Anthony Hopkins NFT collection goes live

A while ago, the two-time Academy Award-winning actor Sir Anthony Hopkins announced the creation of his NFT collection in partnership with Web3 experience company Orange Comet. The mint of the collection entitled The Eternal officially begins on October 13.

The actor, widely recognized for his memorable role as Hannibal in The Silence of the Lambs, also has got a lesser-known artistic side to him, and he employed his talents to turn various moments of his career into art pieces. The NFTs “conceptualize an interpretation of the vast character archetypes Sir Anthony Hopkins has portrayed over his illustrious film career,” showing an archetypical interpretation of his various movie roles, presenting him as The Jester, The Sage, The Lover, The Giver, The Ruler, The Rebel, The Explorer, The Hero, The Creator, and The Magician. 

As an artist, I am inspired by the power of art, music, cinema and the illusionary dreamlike quality of life. The Metaverse offers an incredible opportunity to connect with an audience in an entirely different way. Taking my art to the next level, with NFT as my canvas, is truly an exhilarating proposition. I’m probably the oldest guy in the NFT community and on social media, proves all is possible at any age.”

Besides having an NFT created by Sir Anthony Hopkins, holders get some extra: access to exclusive IRL events and even a chance to talk to the actor. Some will also get autographed Dreamscapes Art Book, framed prints of NFT art, and an audio clip of the artist.

The mint starts on Opensea at 8 pm BST.
