Kim Kardashian’s latest SKIMS product, the Seamless Sculpt Face Wrap, has gone viral — and even attracted the attention of legendary actor Sir Anthony Hopkins.

The Oscar winner, 87, sparked a wave of online buzz after posting a humorous Instagram video in which he wore the face wrap and impersonated his iconic Silence of the Lambs character, Dr. Hannibal Lecter.

The $48 SKIMS face wrap, made with sculpting fabric and collagen-infused yarns, is designed to support the jawline.

Despite selling out shortly after release, it received mixed reactions online, with many comparing its appearance to the infamous cannibal character played by Hopkins in the 1991 thriller.

Hopkins joined in on the joke by donning the product and channeling his creepy film persona, saying, “Hello, Kim. I’m already feeling 10 years younger,” before mimicking Lecter’s signature slurping noise. He captioned the post with a playful warning: “Don’t be afraid to come over for dinner.”

The video quickly gained popularity, with fans praising Hopkins for his sense of humor. Comments ranged from “This could be the best Instagram post ever made” to “Great actor with a great sense of humor!”

Kim Kardashian, 44, responded to the clip on her Instagram Stories, writing, “I’M SCREAMING!!!!!” Her sister Khloé Kardashian and their mother, Kris Jenner, also shared the video and reacted similarly, with Khloé echoing Kim’s reaction and Kris adding a series of laughing emojis.

The viral moment highlights both the internet’s playful response to SKIMS’ unconventional designs and Hopkins’ willingness to lean into his cinematic legacy for a laugh. Kardashian has yet to comment beyond her enthusiastic repost, but the brand’s buzz shows no signs of slowing.
