Sir Antony Hopkins made headlines in April after he failed to show up at The Oscars to collect the Best Actor gong he was awarded for his appearance in The Father.
But speaking on Lorraine on Tuesday, the iconic actor, 83, revealed that he 'didn't expect' to win, explaining: 'The contender was Chadwick Boseman, so I went to bed.'
Appearing alongside The Father director Florian Zeller, the screen star continued: 'Well what happened very briefly: I didn't expect to get it, at all. My phone went, and it was a text from my agent saying "you've won the Oscar" at about 5 o'clock in the morning.'
