Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster reunited for the 30th anniversary of “The Silence of the Lambs” as part of Variety’s “Actors on Actors” video series, and it didn’t take long for Foster to admit she was too scared to speak with Hopkins after the first table read of the script. Both actors won Academy Awards for their performances, while the film also took home trophies for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay.
“We didn’t get to speak too much before the actual read-through,” Foster said. “We just sort of kind of waved from across the room and then sat down at the table. And as you launched into Hannibal Lecter, I felt a chill come over the room. In a way, it was like we were almost too scared to talk to each other after that.”
Foster wasn’t the only one terrified of Hopkins on the set.
