Since 2023, a story has been distributed to the rune about how the values and behavior of people are changing with age. We checked whether the popular text is connected with the British actor.
In most viral publications, it is reported that once Hopkins asked an unnamed friend to tell what he felt after the onset of the 70th anniversary. In response, he sent a list of 14 points to the Oscar -reference actor. For example, c public blogger Dmitry Portnyagin, better known as a transformer,VKontakte»This story in March 2023 was described like this (106,000 views):
“I asked a friend who stepped over 70 and approaches 80, what changes do he feel in himself? He sent me the following:
1. Having fallen in love with their parents, brothers and sisters, spouse, children and friends, now I began to love myself;
2. I realized that I am not Atlant. The world does not lie on my shoulders;
3. I stopped bargaining with sellers of vegetables and fruits. A few more pennies will not break me, but they can help the poor guy to accumulate his daughter to pay for the school;
4. I leave my waitress large tips. Additional money can cause a smile on her face. She earns a living is much more diligent than I;
5. I stopped telling older people that they have already told this story many times. History makes them go along the memory lane and re -survive their past;
6. I learned not to correct people, even if I know that they are wrong. The burden of making everyone perfect does not lie on me. The world is more expensive than perfection;
7. I make compliments freely and generously. Compliments cheer up not only the recipient, but also to me. And a little advice to the recipient of the compliment - never, never refuse, just say: "Thank you";
8. I learned not to pay attention to the fold or stain on the shirt. The personality speaks louder than the appearance;
9. I am leaving people who do not value me. They may not know my value, but I know;
10. I keep composure when someone plays dirty to overtake me on the rats. I am not a rat and do not belong to any race;
11. I am not embarrassed by my emotions. My emotions make me a man;
12. I realized that it is better to discard the ego than to break the relationship. My ego will keep me aside, while in a relationship I will never be lonely;
13. I learned to live every day as if he was the last. After all, he may be the last;
14. I do what makes me happy. I am responsible for my happiness, and I owe it to myself. Happiness is a choice. You can be happy at any time, just decide to be.
Your Sir Anthony Hopkins. "

Sometimes the authors of such publications reduce the list allegedly received by Hopkins from a friend. For example, in the actress group Julia Menshova (1.7 million views) The point about tips was removed, and in the community "The movie is the best from the world of the cinema!"(157,000) left only eight positions.
History has become viral and on other platforms: Instagram*, Facebook* (one of the posts received 101,000 likes), ""Classmates" And "Zen".

Judging by the search for Google and Yandex, in English this text It spreads For several years now, but with born In 1937, he was connected by a British actor only on VKontakte (in automatically translated into this language posts and in public About the study of English). With the exception of dubious attribution, in general, the translation into Russian correctly conveys the meaning of all 14 points except the tenth. The earlier English -speaking version was not said about the race, but about the race (both words are written as Race), that is, the correct translation should sound about: "I am not a rat and do not participate in any races."
In most publications in English, the author of the motivating list is not indicated. Records usually End With such a phrase: “I decided to share this with all my friends. Why do we have to wait until 60, 70 or 80 years old? Why can't we practice this at any stage and at any age? " In some posts Markthat the author of the text is unknown, or write Such gratitude: “I copied this. I don’t know who to indicate the author, but thank you. ”
The text about a friend who crossed after 70 and approaches 80, and without mentioning Hopkins began to walk over the network in 2020. Before that, Internet users distributed Almost identical motivational speech, in which a person was mentioned by age between 65 and 70 years. Two of the earliest posts that were discovered "verified", appeared on Facebook November 6, 2019, and Published The same user - Bishanlal Bani (Bishanlal Bani). At the end of both records, he wrote on Hindi that he placed a list with the permission of another person, so there is a possibility that the baths also copied the text from somewhere.
However, in any case, the author of the viral list is not a friend of a Facebook user. Back in 2018, a similar text under the heading “Yes, I'm changing” in social networks. Then reasoning attributed Indian writer Rashmi Trivadi (She is authored Confirmed A year earlier on your Instagram). The text begins like this: “Days are replaced by weeks, weeks turn into months, and months - in the years. The calendars are changing, and I am too. ” Further, with small changes, 14 theses from the story about Hopkins are repeated, but they all start with the phrase “yes, I change”, and the formulations of some are slightly different. For example, in the third paragraph in the version of Trivy, not penny, but Rupia, in the fourth - a tips, not a waitress, are mentioned. In addition, there are not 14, but 19 points in the text of the Indian writer. For example, in the viral text there is no one: “Now I am not concerned about the groomed eyebrows or small wrinkles on the forehead. In the end, the beauty of my soul surpasses the beauty of my face. ”
In September 2019, the Indian magazine The Week I took it Trivadi has an interview - the reason was the viral spread of her poem, which was attributed The deceased In the same month, Indian politics and lawyer Ram Jetmalani. According to the writer, this was not the first to happen to her works. Trivadi so explains the reason why its texts become viral: “Only what is interesting to people is spread and sends. My poems often find a response, because I write about their thoughts and emotions. ” At the end of the conversation, she separately spoke about her text, which became the basis of the Hopkins story:
“Another work of mine,“ yes, I change, ”also widely dispersed in social networks. In Facebook messenger, a man contacted me and asked if I wrote it. He heard him on Mass in the Catholic Church in some distant village in Canada! Of course, without any mention of my authorship. He liked it so much that he googled the first few lines of the text and stumbled upon my page on Facebook, where I posted the same. ”
“Verified” could not find a post that the writer was talking about, and turned to the comment to Trivy herself. “If my memory serves me, I first published this work on my Facebook page Woman, EVERYTHING WILL Be Fine (name in honor of my first book). The text became viral and was widely copied in social networks with some changes here and here. Later I published it in my collection of poems for [consolidation] copyright, ”the writer told us.
On the page about which Trivadi is talking about, the text under the heading "Yes, I'm changing!" Indeed. He was published July 28, 2017.
Thus, Anthony Hopkins did not talk about his friend, who sent him advice on accepting life after 70 years. The original text wrote an author from India, then her work, apparently, liked the unknown elderly person who sent him to his friend who published a post in social networks. Then his story with some changes (and without any visible grounds) was attributed to an Oscar-refracted actor.
*Russian authorities They think Meta Platforms Inc., which owns social networks Facebook and Instagram, an extremist organization, its activities in Russia are prohibited.
