Kim Kardashian had a dramatic reaction to Sir Anthony Hopkins mocking her latest Skims product.
The legendary actor compared the reality star’s Seamless Sculpt Face Wrap - a nude fabric that fits around the face and chin - to his Silence of the Lambs character Hannibal Lecter’s look.
The serial killer famously wore a muzzle mask to prevent him biting people in the 1991 horror film, which earned Hopkins an Oscar.
Hopkins, 87, wore the wrap around his head and a bright blue Hawaiian shirt as he channelled the chilling cannibal in an Instagram video directed at Kardashian on Thursday.
“Hello Kim, I’m already feeling 10 years younger,” he said in the clip, before doing his character’s infamous slurp and bidding farewell to The Kardashians star.
The Welsh actor tagged Kardashian and captioned the reel: “Thank you, Kim. Don’t be afraid to come over for dinner.”
In Silence of the Lambs, Lecter famously tells FBI trainee Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster): “A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti."
At the end of the film, he says to Starling that he's "having an old friend for dinner".
Kardashian re-shared Hopkins’ video on her Instagram Story and wrote: “I’M SCREAMING!!!!!”
Her sister, Khloe Kardashian, 41, seemed amused too, writing on her own Story: “I am screaming!!!!! Let's gooooooooooo @skims @kimkardashian.”
A slew of other celebrities shared their praise for the amusing clip, with Gwyneth Paltrow writing, “Genius,” and Amanda Abbington adding: “Amanda Abbington A legend. A true and phenomenal legend.”
One fan joked, “THIS is why the internet was invented. Amazing Sir Anthony!” and another penned: “Aaaaand this is why I have a phone.”
Kardashian - who co-founded shapewear brand Skims in 2019 and is set to launch his first UK store - released the £33 Sculpt Face Wrap on Tuesday.
“Our first-ever face innovation, made with signature sculpting fabric and infused with collagen yarns for ultra-soft jaw support,” the Skims Instagram page announced.
Many social media users took to the comments to draw comparisons between the mask and Hopkins’ movie villain.
“What in the Hannibal is this,” one wrote while another replied, “State of the world in shambles, people dying … Kim: New Hannibal Lector Nylon face wrap just dropped!!!”
