Four tickets please! Anthony Hopkins is accompanied by his wife, niece and a THIRD female friend to premiere of Thor: The Dark World

He wasn't awarded the title of 'Sir' just for nothing, so when Sir Anthony Hopkins attends the premiere of his latest movie, he's more than entitled to bringing his entire clan along with him.
Constantly by his side is his third wife, former antiques dealer and Colombian born Stella Arroyave who Anthony has called 'a wonderful woman who likes to spend my money'.
For the Thor: The Dark World premiere in LA on Monday night, he also brought along two more beauties, including his niece, to bask in the limelight and draw plenty of admiring glances themselves.

Sir Anthony didn't seem to mind sharing the spotlight one little bit either, even revelling in being in the company of three very lovely ladies.

Like his friend Helen Mirren, also now living in LA, the actor, knighted 20 years ago, is treated like royalty in the States.
‘The knighthood was a tremendous honour, I don’t dismiss it,’ he has said. ‘But I feel embarrassed by the flowery, theatrical stuff that goes with being an actor. Somebody wants to carry my bag, I say, “No, I’ll carry my own bag.”
‘People ask, “Should I call you Sir Hopkins?” But I say, “No. Call me Tony,” because it’s too much of a lift-up.

A trio of LBDs! Anthony's entourage garnered plenty of attention at the Thor: The Dark World premiere...for many good reasons

'I'm a beach bum. I enjoy walking on the beach, being alive, reading, living in Malibu,' said Anthony
'Coming from Wales [Hopkins is from Port Talbot, like Richard Burton]... my father was a working-class guy,  a meat and potatoes man, a baker, and he had no frills about him. I think I’ve inherited that.
‘I’ve seen it in this business. Once you begin to fall off the track and believe you breathe different air to everyone else, you’re doomed, you’re finished.’

Hopkins and third wife Stella celebrated ten years of marriage on Christmas Eve last year, renewing their vows.
He credits Stella with not just stamping out his wild ways but also saving him from 'the demon drink'.
The two met when Anthony walked into her antiques store in Pacific Palisades and he instantly fell in love with her. She has since left the antiques business to dabble in movies, both in front and behind the camera, making it truly a family affair.

Who's a pretty lady then? Anthony and the Hopkins entourage give good premiere

Anthony says that when he’s not working he and his wife simply like to keep themselves to themselves.
‘We have people over for dinner sometimes and it’s pretty nice, but at the end of the meal, when you’ve said all you have to say, what do you do with them then? Stella does warn them. She says: 'Tony’s very odd you know, he’ll get up and go to bed if he gets bored.'
He also says that he never hangs out with actors because 'they've got nothing to talk about but old movies'.
