Abigail Hopkins is the daughter of Anthony Hopkins, a famous movie actor who became famous all over the world thanks to his role as Hannibal Lecter.

Biography

August 20, 1968 in London, UK, in a family of actors, the daughter of Abigail Hopkins was born, whose photo can be seen above. When the girl was a little over a year old, her father left the family, leaving the child with her mother. The girl was further raised by her mother, film actress Petronella Barker. Anthony did not take part in the upbringing and life of Abigail, moreover, he completely stopped any communication with his former family.

The daughter was very upset by the separation from her father, during this period every day the news showed Anthony with new passions. Hopkins Sr., forgetting about parental duty, arranged his personal life, unaware of the child's experiences. This later prompted Abigail to change her father's illustrious surname to Harrison.

For many years, the daughter and father did not communicate, and only in the 90s they reunited. The already well-known actor Hopkins helped his daughter become an actress, he got her into Hollywood and contributed to Abigail's first film debut.

Likemany other movie stars, becoming a celebrity, Abigail became addicted to drugs, because of which the girl was expelled from the university. The addiction has been long lasting. But over time, Hopkins' daughter Abigail successfully managed to overcome her drug addiction and return to a normal life. Moreover, she has made a career both in film and theater, and in music.

The last film, in which the daughter of the famous actor Abigail appeared, was released in 2015, after the woman stopped her film career and began working in the theater. Simultaneously with filming a movie, Abigail was writing and performing her own songs. So, in 2003, the world saw her debut album Smile Road, followed by others: in 2005 - Blue Satin Alley; in 2007 - The Liqhthouse Keeper; in 2008 (last released album) - The Memoirs of An Outlaw.

Private life

As for the personal life of the actress, little is known about her. Recently, an interview with Anthony Hopkins was heard in the press, in which he stated that he did not know how his only daughter lived, whether she had children - he also did not know, and all because their communication was interrupted again for as much as 20 years. This time he is in no hurry to build relationships, and this suits him completely.

Also, the famous actor said that people are dispersing. Families break up, everyone lives their own lives. Society makes a choice. He does not care. When they told him that it sounded indifferent, he answered that, let's say, yes, in cold blood. Because life is like this.

But it probably has an effectAmerican mentality. In our country, an actor would have been convicted for such a response. There it is perceived as his personal choice and his mistakes.

As for Abigail herself, she is not a public person, she does not talk about her personal life and family. The only thing a woman can talk about is creativity, because she is a creative person, she has worked in various directions, starting with acting, playing in the theater, and in recent years she has mastered the profession of a singer. Abigail's genre of music is alternative rock.
