        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Anthony Hopkins</strong> is practicing social distancing from humans, but not from his cat.</p><p>While spending time at home amid the coronavirus pandemic, the Oscar winner is playing piano for the feline.</p><p>“Niblo is making sure I stay healthy and demands I entertain him in exchange… cats,” he <strong>captioned a video on Instagram</strong> on Wednesday.</p><p>In 2012, Hopkins <strong>told NPR</strong> that growing up, he actually wanted to be a music composer.</p><p>“I became an actor by default, really,” he said. “I got a scholarship to a college of music and drama, hoping to take a scholarship in music. But I ended up as an acting student, so I’ve stuck with that for the last 50-odd years.”</p><p>Hopkins is now 82 years old, so he is among one of the demographics most at risk for catching coronavirus, <strong>according to the Center for Disease Control</strong>.</p><p>Page Six has reached out to Hopkins’ rep about how the star is taking precautions.</p><p>In the meantime, Hopkins is keeping his social media followers entertained with videos and photos of his cat, whom he often features on his Instagram. The actor shared the pair spent <strong>a “quiet” New Year’s Eve</strong> and <strong>Thanksgiving</strong> together.</p><p><strong>The Daily News Hungary</strong> previously reported that the actor adopted Niblo while he was in Budapest filming a movie after the stray cat was brought to the concierge of his hotel.</p><p>In December, Hopkins <strong>said in Interview Magazine</strong> that “most” of his friends “are gone,” so he looks for the “illusion” of life in everything else.</p><p>“It’s in my cat, it’s in my dog, it’s in you,” he said. “How could it be otherwise? I watch my cat jumping to a little pinch on the fireplace. Now, he can’t write a book, he doesn’t know anything about philosophy or mathematics. But how the hell does he do that? That is totally awe-inspiring.”</p>]]></content:encoded>
