Anthony Hopkins just gave fans a hilarious throwback with a twist of fashion. The Oscar-winning actor, best known for his chilling role as the cannibalistic serial killer Hannibal Lecter, decided to have a little fun at the expense of SKIMS, Kim Kardashian's shapewear brand. In an Instagram video, the 87-year-old tried on one of brand's new face wraps and joked that it looked like the mask he wore as Hannibal in The Silence of the Lambs.

The video quickly went viral online as Hopkins was seen wearing the beige wrap around his face and calmly saying, “Hello Kim, I'm already feeling 10 years younger,” in that same calm but creepy tone that made his character so iconic. The line, of course, is a nod to his character and sent fans into a frenzy. Many commented how the wrap looked a bit too similar to Lecter’s infamous muzzle, turning a simple clothing item into an instant meme. The actor even tagged Kim on the post and wrote, “Thank you, Kim. Don’t be afraid to come over for dinner.”
Kim Kardashian reposted the video to her Instagram Stories, calling it “legendary” along with a laughing emoji. SKIMS is mostly known for its shapewear, loungewear, and now accessories. Hopkins’ video gave the brand another viral moment. Fans loved seeing the actor embrace his past role with a good laugh.
