The brilliant Anthony Hopkins mural that has appeared in Port Talbot

He’s one of Port Talbot’s favourite sons and now he’s been celebrated in his hometown.

A mural by one of Wales’ leading street artists Jenks has appeared in Bridge Street in the town centre.

The striking artwork in the street art capital of Wales brilliantly captures the Hollywood star in his later yeas and features one of his most famous quotes: ‘I love life because what more is there?’

Writing on his Facebook page artist Jenks wrote: “Fancied painting this one for a while and seeing Silence of the Lambs on TV the other night has triggered this. He is alocal legend and I wanted to see what a challenge the face complexion would be. Sir Anthony Hopkins In Bridge Street, Port Talbot.”
