Sir Anthony Hopkins helped co-star Rene Russo calm her nerves before a pivotal scene in new action film 'Thor' by swearing at her.
- May 4, 2011
AceShowbiz - Rene Russo reveals the great Brit could tell she was far from confident about the scene in which she has to appear devastated after learning Sir Anthony Hopkins' god-like character has banished her son, "Thor", to earth - and he had some sage words for her.
She explains, "It was a real dramatic scene... and he could tell I was nervous, so he said, 'Come over here, sit down,' and he goes, 'A Franciscan monk once told me that the greatest prayer is F**k it! F**k it! F**k It! F**k it!'"
"That's how great he is and I love him for that. So (for) the entire movie, he'd look at me before a scene and say, 'F**k it!'"
