Sir Anthony Hopkins’ NFT art collection -- a series of more than 1,000 original art pieces – is inspired by the legendary actor’s Hollywood career, and draws from his iconic performances in movies such as the 'Silence of the Lambs', which won him an Oscar for playing fictitious serial killer Hannibal Lecter.

Some of his NFT art pieces such as “The Eternal”, “The Lover”, and “The Jester” are reportedly based on “an interpretation of the vast character archetypes Sir Anthony Hopkins has portrayed” in his career, Decrypt reported.

A year ago, Hopkins had starred in a thriller film directed by Rick Dugdale; the movie had been released via an NFT platform called the 'Vuele'.
