The lionized King Lear actor — who made his mark playing a psycho serial killer — recently celebrated 48 years of sobriety.
"Anthony is one of the most successful sober celebs in Hollywood," the tipster noted. "He credits the turnaround to Stella, who brought him back from the brink when he was on the verge of quitting acting."

"Well, I just saw it as a disservice to myself, as an escape," Pitt admitted to the actor on abusing alcohol.
Hopkins told the Fight Club actor that while he had not drank alcohol in almost five decades, he's "not an evangelist about sobriety."
After reflecting on what made him quit drinking, Hopkins called his dark days a "blessing."
"But I look at it, and I think, 'What a great blessing that was, because it was painful.' I did some bad things. But it was all for a reason, in a way. And it’s strange to look back and think, 'God, I did all those things?' But it’s like there’s an inner voice that says, 'It’s over. Done. Move on," Hopkins added.
Pitt replied, "So you’re embracing all your mistakes. You’re saying, 'Let’s be our foibles, our embarrassment.' There’s beauty in that."
Hopkins agreed, "It’s great."
