It not that strange for a band to get an actor to star in a music video. Hell, it’s kind of commonplace now.

But when you’re Tom Petty you don’t just get any actors. You get Oscar-winning actors.

Sean Penn told Rolling Stone “The song made such an impression on me. So much of it was going to be about what the actor was holding in his head. I didn’t want to even articulate the story so much. I had a little backstory for myself, but I just wanted to shoot this in the way that wouldn’t bury the song.”

Anthony Hopkins is brilliant in his performance! Check out the video for “I Forgive It All.”
