Actor Anthony Hopkins took a humorous jab at Kim Kardashian’s latest beauty product, drawing comparisons between the reality star’s new face mask and the mask worn by his iconic character Hannibal Lecter in the 1991 film The Silence of the Lambs, as reported by Page Six.
The 87-year-old Oscar winner posted a video on Instagram Thursday in which he wore a head wrap and addressed Kardashian directly.

“Hello Kim, I’m already feeling 10 years younger. Goodbye,” Hopkins said in the clip, before mimicking his character’s infamous “fava beans and Chianti” slurping sound and staring directly into the camera with wide eyes and a grin.
“Thank you, Kim. Don’t be afraid to come over for dinner,” Hopkins wrote in the caption, tagging Kardashian and her Skims brand.

The video was in response to the release of Kardashian’s new Seamless Sculpt Face Wrap, which retails for $48 and is marketed as a non-invasive way to sculpt the jawline. The product has drawn widespread attention online for its appearance and purpose.
Several social media users praised Hopkins for the light-hearted post. “Are you having Kim for dinner???” one commenter joked.
Others encouraged Kardashian to respond. “This is the best publicity you could get @kimkardashian! You have to reply. This is so epic!” another user wrote.
As of Friday morning, Kardashian’s team had not publicly responded to the post.
The new face wrap is the latest in a series of unconventional product launches from Kardashian. In 2023, she released a “nipple bra” that quickly became a viral topic.

The Skims brand has steadily expanded from shapewear into skincare and lifestyle accessories, often drawing widespread attention—both positive and critical—for its unique offerings.
