Sir Anthony Hopkins (actor) : needs corroborating as there is no mention in the Anthony Hopkins of an association with Newport

AFAICR his parents owned a pub in Caerleon. Owain (talk) 09:45, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

- so not Newport Town (as it would be then) but probably the now defunct Gwent administrative region? This is why we need sources. Pbhj 14:18, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- having just looked this up there is a mention on Paul Flynn MP's website under "No hope". But the text says that Mr Hopkins parents lived in the Ship Inn, Caerleon. That doesn't mean he ever lived there. The date given is 1971, so Mr Hopkins would be 34 and not likely living at home. I don't think that "his parents lived in the next town" is an encyclopedic entry so have removed him from the list.
- Gwent wasn't formed until 1974, Caerleon became part of the borough of Newport at the same time I think, before that it was a seperate village/suburb in Monmouthshire. Anyway, I agree this isn't worth a mention. Marky-Son 20:13, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
