Anthony Hopkins resurrected Hannibal Lecter to model new face shapewear from Kim Kardashian’s company, SKIMS.
In a now viral Instagram video, the Silence Of The Lambs actor shared a clip of himself trying on the new Seamless Sculpt Face Wrap from Kardashian’s latest release, after social media users compared the product to the mask his character wears in the thriller.
The video references Dr Hannibal Lecter, who wears a face mask in the 1991 film to keep him from biting people.
Hopkins revived the character saying in his eerie “Hannibal the Cannibal” voice, “Hello Kim… I’m already feeling 10 years younger,” before adding the unforgettable slurping sound from Lecter’s speech about eating a census taker’s liver with “some fava beans and a nice chianti.”
The 87-year-old captioned the cheeky post: “Thank you, Kim. Don’t be afraid to come over for dinner @kimkardashian @skims.”
After catching wind of the video, Kardashian reposted it to her Instagram story, responding, “I’M SCREAMING!!!!!”
Since the release of the Seamless Sculpt Face Wrap on July 30, which claims to provide “targeted compression for shaping & sculpting” the face, the item has already sold out on company’s website.
The wrap is made out of “sculpting fabric and features collagen yarns for ultra-soft jaw support. Velcro closures at the top and nape of the neck allow for easy, everyday wear.”
The website also says the wrap is “a must-have addition to your nightly routine.” – New York Daily News/Tribune News Service
