Anthony Hopkins is here for Kim Kardashian’s seamless sculpt face wrap.
On Instagram, Hopkins appeared to channel his iconic Hannibal Lecter character from “The Silence of the Lambs” by throwing on a Skims face wrap and joking about its benefits.
“Hello, Kim. I’m already feeling 10 years younger,” he said before making a slurping noise, a nod to a scene in the 1991 psychological thriller when he tells Jodie Foster’s Clarice Starling, a young FBI trainee, that he ate a man’s liver with some “fava beans and a nice chianti.”
“Goodbye,” he added before the video ended. The caption of Hopkins’ video also made a subtle reference to the film. “Thank you, Kim. Don’t be afraid to come over for dinner,” the message read.
Online, the eerie clip was received well by fans. In the comments of Hopkins’ post many people referenced his Dr. Hannibal Lecter character, who was forced to wear a nude-colored restraint mask in the film to prevent him from biting others.
“Are you having Kim for dinner???” one person quipped.
Another said, “Great actor with a great sense of humor! 😂👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾.”
A third wrote, “This just made my whole week 🤣🤣🤣.”
Kardashian also reacted to the video in an Instagram story. She reshared Hopkins’ video and wrote, “I’M SCREAMING!!!!!” at the bottom of the clip.
On July 29, Kardashian’s shapewear brand, Skims, announced that it had just released the face wrap, which they said is their “first-ever face innovation” that’s “made with signature sculpting fabric and infused with collagen yarns for ultra-soft jaw support.”
The face wrap currently retails at $48 and it comes in two shades — clay and cocoa.
Online, fans had mixed feelings about the product.
“I sometimes can’t believe that society’s perception of women has gotten to the point where women think they need this…,” an Instagram user wrote in the comments section of a review of the face wrap, reposted by Skims.
Another said, “Pretty sure the fabric is infused with propaganda. There’s 0 proof this works scientifically.”
However, some people on X felt differently about it.
“A good item I think,” one person said.
“It’s interesting,” another wrote of the news.
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Kardashian revealed why she started Skims and said it was born out of her insecurities.
“What’s interesting is growing up as a kid, I was always very shy. I do remember feeling really different, especially when I was just in grade school — just feeling like I didn’t look like the representation of the women that I would see in the media a lot,” she said.
Kardashian noted that she “always loved shapewear” and that’s what made Skims the perfect fit for her.
“I really wanted to launch my own shapewear that took all the designs that I was cutting up myself, that I was dying myself and just had an extremely inclusive age-wise, size-wise, color-range-wise everything,” she added.
