That website sucks. BTW Anthony Hopkins isn't American, he is Welsh. He said in an interview in 2018 that he doesn't care for Trump. Hopkins also stated that he doesn't vote.

I always assumed he was ~~British~~ English. TIL. He has American citizenship though, so he has the ability to vote in US elections, he just doesn't care to.

Wales is part of Britian. That would be like saying "Oh, he's a New Yorker? I thought he was American".

Don't most people from Wales consider themselves Welsh rather than British? Or is that just how Scotland and Ireland are?

They're not English, but they're British.

Gotcha, thanks for the clarification!

Ah, yeah, I always get the terms mixed up since there's like three or four terms used to refer to the collective British Isles. I meant to say English.

Sorta different, but more "Oh he's Texan? I thought he was American" because Texans don't want to be American.

You should say that about Americans; people still say the state for EU states
