  • @mooshmusic

    Grow up. Dont try to excuse yourself because you took a job rather than claim 'dole'. We make our own sacrifices as we choose, based upon our principles (those of us that have them) and adjust our lives accordingly. Life is NOT about pissing on the rest of the world, only the vain and greedy would do that. If you work for a company that has loose ideals then you support that company and everything it stands for. Should you choose to do that, accept it and don't make excuses. 

  • Hopkins is a sad wanker who takes cash from tax-cheats Barclays Bank.

  • he could talk about paint drying and make it sounds hot

  • anthony hopkins is a marvel

  • "Big big big big big." :)

    But honestly, I can listen to him say the same thing over and over again and not complain a bit.

  • 8 people should throw them from bridge

  • Anthony hopkins rocks!!!

  • Does anyone know the background music for this at the end?

  • It was specially written by British composer Kevin Sargent

  • how wonderful he s the way he talks like thrills hs voice

    commands

  • Great performance... but for a bank.. =(

  • :D great as always. but i don't get what he's saying at the end..."there's only one small problem: my ?" could someone tell me, please?

  • @JustCoffeeHeSaid

    "My fee; I'd like it to be.....what's the word?"

  • @Horhayj

    thanks a lot!!

  • fee

  • Hmm Big?

  • 0:27 straight pimpin

  • Does my bum look big in this?

    xD

    Loooove the way he says that. babeeee ;D

  • The first time I saw this ad was years ago, and I still feeling the same impact of the message (and Hopkins great performance).

  • anthony hopkins is just an amazing actor and for that reason he is ranked in my top 3 actors of all time.

  • I love anthony hopkins, but I dont get this!!!

  • Anyone notice how he says "the big bad wolf" a lot, check other videos of him

  • Do you know how difficult is to make this fast speech understandable? it takes one of the greatest voices of today, no doubt...perfect cast&making. My respects.

  • he is perfect .......

  • He is the best my fav actor ever..........

  • I wouldn't go to a bank used by canabals.

  • Barclay's are apparently "Fluent in Finance."

    Well, that's fantastic. It's just a shame none of the fucking Indians that answer their phones are fluent in English.

  • Big Bad Wolf ! lol i love his voice . Tony is great

  • Me too, his voice is exquisite :D

  • Great Actor, Terrible bank!

  • I guess that's why the Bank needed him. :P

  • Anthony Hopkins' performance in this commercial is better than most actors' performances in actual movies. -_-

  • @hyphus27 Well said

  • I can't see how anyone can miss that he is Stewie Griffin - or vice versa. Doesn't anyone else notice that? So funny ;-)

  • "I want my girlfriend to say good morning big boy" omg i laughed so hard their i love him ;)

  • everytime i see anthony hopkins all i can think of is fava beans and chianti.....

    is that weird?

  • And just bcoz u are so BIG , U r on the road to file ur BANKRUPCY

  • No this one. They've been quite canny. Told el Gordo to stuff his (our!) cash.

  • its all well and good that you ahve ayour view but if you dont like barclays that much move your accounts elsewhere ! and a job is a job at the end of the day i never wanted to work in a bank but with how times are i didnt want to just sit around all day collecting dole money i wanted to earn my own money ! so "1peoplesun" the reason im working for a bank is so that i can save money for my uni fee's and not take out a student loan so i dont get in to debt !

  • was barclays bailed out too?

  • Why is it that the best American commercials are worse than the worst british commercials? (of which there are none as i have so far noted but this is primarily because i'm not british) Fun commercial ^_^

  • SammyMoosh, You and your ilk have destroyed the lifes of thousands of people. The only reason banks can get away with what they have done is because they have the toe-rags like you to do their dirty workl. You and your lot are odious vultures. You have no excuses.

    Get a real job or do ya self in.

  • @kelphi1

    i have only just seen this message , at the time when i wrote this i worked for Barclays , however i now run my own company and im only 20 ! , but still how you can say people like me ruin thousands of lives , i sat in an office counting money all day i would hardly say me doing that destroyed familys , people like me back then would of done anything for a job instead of collecting job seekers and being a lay about ! to be fair i hate barclays now but thats my opinion

  • Great actor. Great performance even in such a short ad.

  • I'd be afraid not to buy whatever he's selling.

  • Great ad, still a bit twisted now...Big Banks f*cking our entire economy up. Cheers Ant!

  • yeah, its all his fault! LOL

  • Big bank = Bigger trouble as in up to their robbing necks in it.........Glorified loan sharks who can just big off

  • le seul qui peut me faire regarder une pub de banque..

  • big!!!

  • good morning big boy

    haha

  • Barclays are laying a load of people off. About time too, lazy fuckin parasites. Anyone who 'works' for these banks is as good as a nazi.

  • barclays are not "laying a load of people off" they are moving on mortgage advisors and loan advisors becuase there not needed at the moment due the the current situation , i wokr for barclays so i no this , and calling everyone who works n a bank a nazi ! well i tihnk you want to make sure your heads screwed on , we dont take your money , you bring it to us ! sorry but it just angerd me that you would choose such a nasty sterotype .

  • you zombie no decent human being

    would work for a bank.

  • He could play an older Stewie Griffin and be perfect.

  • Watch it, folks: some words were chopped off at the beginning here.

    For those who want to know the full text, Anthony starts like this: "What is this about 'big'? You know ..."

    Cheers,

    M

  • kind of seems slightly inapropriate know huh?

  • Who plays the girlfriend? Is it Arly Jover?

  • The GREAT Anthony Hopkins.

    Possibly the most charismatic, talented and versatile actors ever.

    And yet self understated and modest, and truely grateful and appreciative (as seen in an interview once..) of his fortunate life.

    A shining example and "celebrity" role model.

    Check out his rendition of Mr Kelloggs in The Road To Wellville and The Edge. Both fantastic and little known films.

  • October 9, 2008 on Italys Lake of Como, eighty Barclays bankers and clients gathered together in the storied Villa Erba to celebrate with their fiddles as Rome continued burning around them. And while the paparazzi wary bankers spent two days and 700,000 Euros, the British Prime Minister traveled across Britain to sell his rescue package to hardworking British voters....WTF..go here for more info...

  • Music? :)

  • this is weird. i don't like this. i don't like anthony like this. i love the way he says "big". he;s just a bit silly though. i don't like it how his so called "girlfriend" looks 30 years his junior.

    i don't think this is anthony at all though who am i to say... i know him not.

    ha ha.

  • i promise you this is tony, listen to that voice it is definatly him.

  • best welsh actor ever!

  • even in the ad he still can be scary, is a legend, hannibal, dr van helsing you name it

  • I added one.

    Why?

    Cos your a cunt.

  • A lot of "twat"s gave you thumbs down. So apparently they want YOU to fuckoff....

  • entierement d'accord avec Writer8788 c'est uniquement Anthony Perkins qui peut me faire regarder une pub de banque..

  • D'accord avec toi, mais un petit différence :c'est uniquement Anthony HOPKINS ( big name :D ).

  • he has such a comand of the english language. He and robert duvall are the best actors in my opinion

  • NO QUESTIONS ASKED! the best actor in the world period.

  • he reminds me of the Geiko- gecko.

  • He sounds like Stewie Griffen!

  • correction, stewie griffin sounds like anthony hopkins

  • Such a genius!

  • "Little deal clincher" xD

    Only Anthony could make me pay attentin to a bank ad x3 -squees-

  • this post made me laugh out loud

  • Hopkins es grande, una faceta de su carrera pocas veces vista. Hermosa película.

  • Dear God, for a moment I was afraid it was going to be a commercial for 'natural male enhancement'.

  • anthony hopkins is awesome

  • I love him, I love him, I love him!!!! I just love that old guy!!!! ;)

  • I love this clip!

    On Sunday, October 28th at 9 am, be sure to catch Anthony Hopkins on A&E's new Television show Private Sessions! Most recently, 2007 has been a big year for Hopkins with the release of "Slipstream", which he directed, wrote, composed the music for as well as starred in. He also took part in Robert Zemeckis's "Beowulf ", which was created using the new motion capture animation process.

    Don't miss it!

  • how bitter. grow up, and learn to hate people for good reasons.

  • The fuck?

    And it'd be "Hannibal 'the cannibal' Lecter". Haha.

  • That's cause I got balls.. You too scared to run a GREEN light.

  • Anthony is my 5th cousin by marriage!!!!! He's an awesome actor!!!!

  • I wonder how many times he say :Big hahahaha:D

  • What an interesting re-creation of William Parish in this commercial. Hopkins still fits that role the best.

  • Anthony Hopkins are one of the greatest actors in the world. Personlly my favourite actor is John Malkovich, but Anthony is really good ..

  • Quote from this video: "...Then I'll look into her big blue eyes..."

    Forgive me but, aren't his girlfriend's eyes brown? They appear to be.

  • How over-sensitive you are. Get a wit. By the way, "so what" should be followed by a question mark so get a school book while you're at it.

  • And was it really about her big blue eyes? I mean he could hardly openly say "Then I'll look on her big tits... But as a normal man he would surely look there before in the eyes... ;-) Try to be realistic ;-)

  • Ha ha ha ha ha. Nice one!

  • Anthony is reproducing his William Parish character from 'Meet Joe Black' in this advert. Very good. What a guy. It's a pity that Barclays pulled this advert so soon. I hear they told the big picture about the big bank just as they announced big branch closures with big job losses and a big reduction in High Street branches. There were big complaints.

  • LOVE Anthony! :D Puts his best forward, even for a commerical. Hes the best actor ever!

  • How do you pronounce his name? is it an-tony or

    an-th-ony?

  • he has got to be the hottest really old guy ive ever seen

  • May I give you a big big kiss???

  • best actor in the world?

    I think so

    bobby deniro and pacino have been no 1 in 80's and 70's but on form I'd put hopkins at no 1 right now

    he is a force of nature and portrays profound integrity

  • There are very few versatile actors around any more. Brad Pitt plays Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise plays Tom Cruise. I don't see much variation in Robert De Niro lately, either. Anthony Hopkins really produced some great, varied charaters in the last 20 years but he's started playing himself a lot, too. Maybe it's the casting directors' fault. Hopkins versus Pacino... that would be a tough one.

  • Heehee. I <3 him...

    funny ad too.

  • This is hilarious! I saw Anthony Hopkins on Broadway in the play "Equus" way back in 1974.

  • Anthony is the MAN!!!

  • Love it! :)

  • I totally agree, fine acting and clever commercial, funny.

  • I LOVE ANTHONY HOPKINS!!!!

  • You've gotta love Athony Hopkins.

  • I couldn't agree more, remember "the crazy bitch" who loved his hissing? Still do!!! ;D

  • Christianism means the sacrifice.Victims are only simply victims.Sacrifice means choosing this : no aggressivity. Lecter couldn't treat his pacient. He forced his nature. He wanted to cure something incurable. Driving in irational was a trap , he couldn't see the ration anylonger,in love. Saving his idea of love.Saving this world can be a way,only if you think that you are a part of it and saving yourself can save it.The woman of your heart.

  • very talented handsome old man...i love his work and thats the way i wanna look when i get to that age...he is a master

  • you're right; this is some fine acting, even for a commercial.

  • Now we know why he is the Big Guy!!! Sir Anthony Hopkins.

  • God damn... He's so HOTT!!!

  • you got that right.

  • *melt*

    I honestly believe that he is the sexiest older man who has ever graced the earth. And the older he gets, the hotter he is!

    I can't wait for his new movie "Fracture", April 20th

  • YES! Tony is such a studmuffin!!

  • Correct ! He's hot. ;D

  • I couldn't agree w/ you more. I saw Fracture. It was great and so was his performance. I'm going to see it again. This time I'll watch the whole movie...

  • Spot on!!

  • Big... Big...

    This is BIG :-)

    Anthony Hopkins - for me the best actor ever

  • This is amazing!!

  • that was tight.

  • God, he's brilliant. Why can't we have more commercials like this one?

  • because american ads have to be goofy and patronizing

  • when i grew up i wan
