Sir Anthony Hopkins walked the Music Box Theatre red carpet in Chicago on Sunday for the Chicago International Film Festival premiere of “Slipstream,” which at the age of 70 he directed, wrote and scored.

As with the photo from the John Cusack red carpet on Oct. 12, Chicago photographer Joe Arce again captured the bull’s-eye Hopkins shot and has granted me permission to publish it.

Hopkins is also the star of the film along with Christian Slater. Though the scene lacked security and he only interviewed with press for about two minutes, the question of how he felt about Chicago did register.

Hopkins responded: “It’s a beautiful city. It’s the best-kept secret in America.”
