After admitting last week that he didn’t know or “care” if his estranged daughter Abigail has made him a grandfather, Sir Anthony Hopkins has clarified that his comments weren’t coming from a “cold” place.

“No, I wasn’t cold. I’m not cold. Her choice is her choice,” Hopkins, 80, said in a new interview with U.K. newspaper The Times.

“You know, I did the best I could, but you know, okay, I think if somebody doesn’t want to be part of my life, fine. Go and do whatever you want,” he told the outlet. “I wish her well and all that, but I don’t want to talk about my daughter. Those things are over.”

Continuing, he told The Times, “I’ve got no blame. People do what they do. And I don’t understand it and it doesn’t bother me. I can’t waste my time worrying about it. And I’m not cold, I’m just thinking, ‘Oh well, that’s the way it is.’ ”

Anthony Hopkins Doesn’t Know If His Estranged Daughter Has Kids: ‘I Don’t Care’

Hopkins has one daughter, Abigail Hopkins, 48, from his first marriage to Petronella Barker. The actor reportedly walked out of the relationship when Abigail was a toddler.

In an interview with Radio Times last week, Hopkins said he didn’t “have any idea” whether his estranged daughter had children, according to The Telegraph.

“People break up. Families split and, you know, ‘Get on with your life.’ People make choices. I don’t care one way or the other,” he continued.

When Hopkins was told his response sounded cold, the actor replied: “Well, it is cold. Because life is cold.”

“I would see him, but maybe once a year,” Abigail recalled in a 2006 interview with The Telegraph after their relationship had already become estranged. “There is a little bit of sadness, but I have to get on with my life. It has always been like that. See him, and then not.”

Abigail also told The Telegraph that when she was 18,

This made-for-television production, based on the novel by Robert Harris, is about how relations might have developed between Germany and the United States if Germany had won World War II. The program begins with news clips summing up the twenty years since America withdrew from Europe, which subsequently became known as the Nazi empire of Germania. Germania’s borders have opened up and the world press is invited to cover the Fuhrer’s seventy-fifth birthday celebration. However, rumors persist that Jews and minorities weren’t all relocated to the East and that “terrible things” are still happening in the New Berlin. In April of 1964, SS cadet Hermann Jost sees a group of men dump a body into a park’s lake before they hurriedly drive off. SS officer Xavier March subsequently gets a call to check out the corpse. Before leaving his apartment, Xavier tells his young son Pili that he may soon take him to visit America. At the crime scene, Xavier examines the body and makes some preliminary conclusions. At the autopsy, Xavier learns the identity of the murder victim: Josef Buhler, architect of the Jewish Resettlement Program and a close friend of Adolf Hitler. Meanwhile, a busload of journalists arrives to cover the festivities, including German-born Charlie Maguire. She tells colleague Walter Elliot how her father was a diplomat to Germany before the family left the country. Upon arriving in the bus station, a stranger gives a package to a puzzled Charlie. In her room, Charlie opens the parcel and finds a mysterious photograph with instructions from German official Franz Luther. In the meantime, Xavier searches Josef’s residence before asking Hermann about his discovery. Hermann tells of having seen three men driving away from the scene, including Gestapo general Odilo “Globus” Globocnik. Going to the address given to her by Franz, Charlie attempts to see Herr Stuckart. Inside his apartment, Charlie finds Stuckart and a prostitute dead

Sir Anthony Hopkins doesn’t know how far his family tree goes — and he doesn’t care.

In a new interview with the Radio Times, Hopkins, 80 admitted he doesn’t know if his estranged daughter Abigail has made him a grandfather.

“I don’t have any idea,” he said, according to The Telegraph. “People break up. Families split and, you know, ‘Get on with your life.’ People make choices. I don’t care one way or the other.”

Hopkins has one daughter, Abigail Hopkins, 48, from his first marriage to Petronella Barker. The actor reportedly walked out of the relationship when Abigail was a toddler.

Though the father and daughter had a brief reconciliation in the 1990s, with Hopkins arranging for Abigail to have short cameos in two of his films Shadowlands and The Remains of the Day. They have since lost contact.

When Hopkins was told his response to being asked if Abigail had any children sounded cold, the actor replied: “Well, it is cold. Because life is cold.”

According to Abigail’s personal website, she has gone on to become a singer-songwriter, actress and acting coach. Her most recent film appearance was in the 2015 film Romeo Vs Juliet.

Hopkins also slammed Hollywood culture in the interview saying it is filled with “hypocrisy.”

“Look at Hollywood, how insidious it is. Look how people feel entitled to this, that and the other, and they can only be surrounded by ‘yes’ people,” he said. “There’s so much hypocrisy… and they know nothing.”
