Anthony Hopkins is releasing an album made up of his own songs, HBL reports. The record brings together music he has written over the past 60 years, offering a rare look at a creative side of Hopkins that has developed alongside his acting career.

Hopkins is best known as an actor, but music has been part of his life for decades. According to HBL, he once dreamed of becoming a musician before turning to acting, and the new album reconnects him with that earlier ambition.
