Martha Stewart loves serving a good dinner, but she apparently once feared she’d be the main course for her then-boyfriend, Sir Anthony Hopkins!

The revelation came during a rousing game of “Where’s the lie?”, which saw the 80-year-old reading three facts about herself and Ellen DeGeneres having to guess which one was made up.
During the second round, Martha claimed she dated Hopkins but broke up with him because she couldn’t stop thinking of him as the cannibalistic serial killer he portrayed on the big screen, that she was asked to host Saturday Night Live and her biggest regret was saying “no,” and that she has a tattoo of her dog Creme Brulee on her foot.
