Book club: We Did Ok, Kid by Anthony Hopkins
We Did OK, Kid feels like sitting down with Anthony Hopkins while he quietly tells you his life story.
He shares where he came from, the struggles he faced growing up and how he found his way through doubt, loneliness, and addiction. It’s honest, sometimes a bit raw, but also warm and reflective.
More than a story about fame, it’s about figuring yourself out and learning to be at peace with who you are.
