Anthony Hopkins Admits Affairs in New Memoir, Says Jennifer Lynton "Deserved Better"

We Did OK, Kid was published Tuesday with Hopkins narrating the audiobook.

Overview

  • In the book, Hopkins writes that he was unfaithful during his marriage to Jennifer Lynton and says he takes full responsibility for hurting her.
  • He adds that Lynton "turned a blind eye" at the time, expresses hope she found happiness, and reflects that she "deserved better" than him.
  • Hopkins addresses his estrangement from his daughter Abigail, saying his door is always open to her and apologizing for the pain caused when he left the family.
  • He recounts walking out on first wife Petronella Barker after visiting his infant daughter, a choice he calls his saddest regret, and situates it within his struggle with alcoholism and long-term sobriety.
  • Published by Summit Books on Nov. 4, the memoir also covers career highs and lows; outlets report no public response from Lynton or Abigail to the new disclosures.
