Anthony Hopkins revives Hannibal Lecter in a funny nod endorsing Kim Kardashian's Seamless Sculpt Face Wrap on Instagram.
Anthony Hopkins brought his legendary character Hannibal Lecter back to life in a playful new endorsement for Kim Kardashian’s Seamless Sculpt Face Wrap from her Skims line. The Oscar-winning actor shared the video on Instagram this past Thursday, combining his signature eerie style with the face wrap product.
In the video, Hopkins sports a colorful button-down shirt while wearing the face wrap around his chin, neck, and ears. The appearance humorously echoes the mask his character wore in the 1991 film Silence of the Lambs to prevent him from biting others. This fun nod captured the attention of both movie fans and Hollywood figures.
Humorous Lines Evoke Hannibal Lecter’s Chilling Persona
Hopkins adopts Hannibal’s distinct mannerisms, beginning the clip by saying,
“Hello Kim, I’m already feeling 10 years younger,”
before signing off with a chilling farewell. The actor also tagged Kardashian and her company, adding,
“Thank you, Kim. Don’t be afraid to come over for dinner.”
This reference harks back to some of Hannibal Lecter’s most memorable lines from the film, particularly his infamous jailhouse chat with FBI trainee Clarice Starling, played by Jodie Foster. The character frightens her by bragging,
“A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.”
Later in the movie, Lecter ominously remarks that he is
“having an old friend for dinner.”
Hopkins’ playful adaptation of these quotes added a clever and entertaining layer to the product promotion.
Celebrity and Fan Reactions Highlight the Post’s Popularity
The post quickly gained traction, with Gwyneth Paltrow commenting simply, Genius. Michael Beach, star of The Rookie, praised Hopkins as a

Fans joined in the excitement, asking questions like
“Are you having Kim for dinner???”
and encouraging Kardashian to respond, saying,
“This is the the best publicity you could get @kimkardashian ! lol. You have to reply. This is so epic!”
Many followers also shared classic GIFs from the 1991 thriller, which notably won the major Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Actor for Hopkins, and Best Actress for Foster. The film remains one of the rare titles to capture all top five Oscars.
About the Seamless Sculpt Face Wrap and Its Impact
The endorsement came shortly after the Seamless Sculpt Face Wrap launched online two days earlier, quickly becoming a trending item on social media. The product is promoted as
“a must-have addition to your nightly routine,”
featuring Skims’ signature sculpting fabric combined with collagen yarns designed to offer soft yet supportive jaw contouring. Its Velcro closures allow for convenient everyday use at both the top and back of the neck.
Anthony Hopkins’ endorsement not only infused humor and nostalgia into the product’s marketing but also connected the timeless appeal of Hannibal Lecter’s character with Kim Kardashian’s modern brand. This creative crossover is likely to boost interest in Skims while delighting fans of cinema and pop culture alike.
