Anthony Hopkins Talks About Playing Odin In Thor
The Los Angeles Times caught up with Oscar Winner Anthony Hopkins recently and got him talking about his upcoming role in Kenneth Branagh’s Thor where he plays Thor’s dad Odin…
“He’s a stern man. He’s a man with purpose. I play the god who banishes his son from the kingdom of Asgard because he screwed up. He’s a hot-headed, temperamental young man — probably a chip off of the old block — but I decide he’s not really ready to rule the future kingdom, so I banish him. I’m harsh and my wife complains and I say, ‘That is why I’m king.’ He’s ruthless, take-it-or-leave-it. Women are much more forgiving; men are not so forgiving. I know in my life, my karma is, ‘If you don’t like it, tough, move on.’ And I move on. I’m a little like Odin myself.”
Thor is currently being filmed as we speak ahead of its May 6th, 2011 release.
