Hopkins unsure of new Transformers: The Last Knight

Veteran actor Anthony Hopkins says he doesn't really understand the plot of "Transformers: The Last Knight". The 79-year-old has joined the franchise as Edmund Burton, who devoted his life to the study of ancestries of humans and Transformers.

"You're not going to ask me to explain the plot are you? Because it's so very complicated and there's the whole mythology of four previous films that come into play. I have to admit, I don't quite get all of it," Hopkins told.

"All I know is I play a highly educated, eccentric English lord. I had a terrific time making it. Mark Wahlberg was wonderful to work with, the locations were excellent and I showed up, put my costume on, said my lines and stayed out of trouble. That's all I ever do. It beats working for a living," he added.
