Sir Anthony Hopkins's wife is his antidepressant

Sir Anthony Hopkins' wife is saving him from depression. The British actor married Colombian born antiques dealer Stella Arroyave in 2003 and he revealed meeting her was the best thing that ever happened to him as he now thinks he was suffering from "slight depression" at that point in his life. He explained: "She met me ten years ago when I was shut down. Shut down for some years. I didn't feel shut down at that time. I felt I was quite happy. But I was dealing with slight depression. Not trusting anyone. Certainly not trusting women. Everyday she wakes up happy. She's very positive about everything. I learnt from her just to take life as it comes. So I live my life in non -expectation."

Anthony credits 54-year-old Stella's easy going nature with helping him to deal with the difficulties of fame and he now doesn't care what people think of him.He told Seven magazine: "My philosophy is: It's none of my business what people say of me and think of me. I am what I am and I do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. And it makes life so much easier."
