Sir Anthony Hopkins

In 1968, the ‘Silence of the Lambs’ actor had a daughter called Abigail from his first marriage to actress Petronella Barker but the pair are no longer on speaking terms.

Hopkins is philosophical on the issue, telling The Sunday Times: "The past is sealed. I have no regrets.

"You can't undo things. You have to get on with life - live it and don't look back."
