In a move that has sent shockwaves through social media, legendary actor Anthony Hopkins, renowned for his chilling portrayal of Hannibal Lecter, has resurfaced a classic movie moment in a recent Instagram video. The clip, which has garnered millions of views, features Hopkins humorously donning a face-slimming mask from Kim Kardashian’s shapewear brand, Skims, while recreating iconic mannerisms of his infamous character.

The video opens with Hopkins, a prominent figure on platforms like TikTok and Instagram with a following of 5.8 million, playfully referencing his role in “The Silence of the Lambs.” Instead of the character’s signature mask, Hopkins is seen wearing the “Seamless Sculpt face Wraps” from Skims, a product designed for facial contouring. He humorously declares, “Hello Kim, I already feel 10 years younger,” before delivering the chillingly familiar tongue-clicking sound that defined lecter’s unsettling presence.

The performance culminates with Hopkins whispering a haunting “Goodbye,” complete with a disquieting gaze, directly referencing the psychological terror he inflicted upon Clarice Starling, played by Jodie Foster, in the acclaimed film.This nostalgic nod to his most terrifying role has clearly resonated with fans, many of whom experienced shivers watching him as the cannibalistic psychiatrist.

The viral sensation has been hailed by internet users as a stroke of marketing genius for Kim Kardashian’s burgeoning empire. The reality TV star and entrepreneur herself responded enthusiastically to the post, commenting, “I scream with fear!” She further amplified the reach of the video by sharing it on her own Instagram stories, showcasing the Skims face sculptor.

Hopkins’ active presence on social media, where he often shares videos of himself dancing and engaging in lighthearted humor, continues to endear him to a new generation of fans. Though, this latest video, blending his cinematic legacy with contemporary pop culture and a touch of entrepreneurial flair, has undoubtedly cemented its place as a memorable moment in the actor’s ongoing digital engagement.
