A two-time Academy Award-winning actor was in Montreal paying homage to the building-high mural of arguably the city’s most famous singer/songwriter: Leonard Cohen.
Sir Anthony Hopkins posted a reel on his social media, dancing in front of the Cohen mural on Crescent Street downtown.
“When in Montréal, Dance Me to the End of Love🕺🏻,” the caption reads as the song of the same name plays.
The 88-year-old star of The Silence of the Lambs, The Father, Nixon and 148 other acting credits published “We Did Ok, Kid: A Memoir” in October and has posted pics from Wales and New York in recent months.
The book explores his film and theatre career, difficult childhood and path to sobriety.
Hopkins posted at the end of 2025, celebrating 50 years of sobriety.
The video in Montreal appears to be from the Four Seasons on Montagne Street.
The “Tower of Songs, Hommage a Leonard Cohen” mural by artists Miles MacGregor and Gene Pendon was unveiled in 2017.
It is one of two massive Cohen murals in the city.
The same year, 2017, artist Kevin Ledo painted a likeness of the artist in Cohen’s Plateau neighbourhood on Saint-Laurent Boulevard at Napoleon Street during Muralfest.
