I’ve just heard a story about how Anthony Hopkins got miffed and walked off a Japanese TV show sometime in the 90’s. I was wondering if anyone had heard the story, or had in fact watched the incident. I’ve looked on YouTube without success.

Searched in Japanese text and couldn’t find anything at all.
I know this is a bit off topic, but there’s a great video out there of Weird Al on Japanese tv in the early 80s right at the start of his fame where he is just completely in awe of how *weird* everything else on the show is. He kind of breaks character for a sec and just stands there with an exasperated look on his face, unsure of what to do. He doesn’t walk off like Anthony Hopkins (allegedly), but is at a total loss of how to proceed. Anyway, great clip.
There’s a story about Anthony Hopkins breaking down offstage over a silent Japanese audience at a stage play once. Maybe that morphed into the urban legend you shared.
