Christ, IMDB. I know it's his birthday, but don't DO that to me!
This ****ing year isn't over yet!

Haha, yes! I saw that too and immediately thought he'd died. "Nooo! And on his birthday too!"
I'll be glad to see the last of 2016. I think the only reason I check IMDB daily now is to see who's died.

That's what she said.

exactly bc imdb sucks now bc it doesn't have a message board. that's why i'm here. wish more people from imdb knew about this website and all the people who were there would come here.

LOL The exact same thing happened to me! I had no idea it was his birthday though, I just logged on now and my heart skipped a beat for a second.
Goddammit IMDB, "Celebrating Anthony Hopkins Birthday" next time please.

That wording was probably deliberate. Makes people click the page thus get ad revenue

oh yeah usually when you see celebrating anyone online it means they are dead. i hate being scared or saddened by a legend or a loved actor or movie person dying.
