Anthony Hopkins' Hannibal invites Kim Kardashian to 'dinner' wearing Skims face wrap
Anthony Hopkins had a salivating reaction to Kim Kardashian's new Skims face wraps.
The Hollywood icon took to Instagram on Thursday, July 31, wearing a face wrap and invoking his character Dr. Hannibal Lecter from 1991's "The Silence of the Lambs" and 2001's "Hannibal."
"Hello Kim, I'm already feeling 10 years younger," Hopkins, 87, says in the video, making Hannibal's signature slurping hiss. "Goodbye!"
Kardashian, 44, seemed to have sent the beloved actor official merch, as Hopkins captioned the post: "Thank you, Kim. Don't be afraid to come over for dinner."
The reality TV star shared Hopkins' video on her Instagram stories, writing, "I'm screaming!"
Online, people have roasted Skims' new seamless sculpt face wrap, which encases the head, chin and neck, leaving the ears and back of the head exposed. Some users have pointed out that models wearing the wrap resemble the cannibalistic serial killer played by Hopkins over three films, including 2002's "Red Dragon."
Skims recently unveiled the face wrap as a new addition to the clothing brand's shapewear line designed to offer jaw support and marketed as "infused with collagen yarn." The brand calls it a "must-have addition to your nightly routine." The wrap, made of polyamide and elastane, quickly sold out online, according to the Skims website.
The face wrap takes a page out of South Korean skincare trends and TikTok viral "morning shed" routines, both of which offer an elaborate take on skincare.
Skims has long offered a unique take on sculpting garments, offering everything from the nipple bra to hip-enhancing padded shorts, to viral and often mixed reactions.
