Actor Anthony Hopkins was one of the first major Hollywood stars toget into the NFT film space. The storied thespian now appears ready to to dive deeper into theNFTworld, sharing hisEthereum Name Service(ENS) name and asking fellow celebrities for art picks.

Today, the Oscar-winning “The Silence of the Lambs” thespian changed hisTwitter display nameto AHopkins.eth, an ENS name that points to a crypto wallet. It's a common move for people in the NFT and crypto world, adopted by otherpublic figures who are in the spacelike comedian and TV hostJimmy Fallon.

Along with his updated Twitter profile,Hopkins tweetedto Fallon and fellowWeb3-savvy celebrities—rapperSnoop Doggand actressReese Witherspoon—for their recommendations on NFT artwork to purchase.

“I’m astonished by all the great NFT artists. Jumping in to acquire my first piece, any recommendations?” he tweeted, tagging all three entertainment industry colleagues.

Fallonresponded first, writing: “I love your pondering photo. There [are] a bunch of great artists out there and it’s a fun community in general. But, as the great Aaron Neville once said ‘I don’t know much - but I know I love you.’ And that may be all you need to know. DM me.”

Hopkins’ tweet has yielded thousands of other engagements. Reactions from Twitter users include excited NFT enthusiasts seeing another high-profile entertainer explore the space, along with crypto critics mocking or attacking the actor for showing interest in the space.

An NFT works like a proof of ownership to an item, and often represents digital goods such as artwork, collectibles, and video game items. The film and music industries are increasingly adopting NFT technology, with both established artists and emerging creators in each space.

Hopkins’ film project “Zero Contact” wasreleased last year via Vuele, a platform that releases film projects in the form of NFTs. Vuele bundles films with additional behind-the-scenes content, along with exclusive interactive opportunities such as Q&A sessions.

Notable filmmakers such asKevin SmithandQuentin Tarantinohave also made moves in the NFT space.

However, since Hopkins advertised the wallet address via his Twitter name, it has been sent a couple of NFT images from random users—acommon occurrencewith wallets from celebrities and brands.
