Your support makes all the difference.Anthony Hopkins has unveiled his latest TikTok video, which sees him impersonating Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger and dancing to Drake.
The Welsh Oscar winner became the latest star to take part in Drake’s Toosie Slide Challenge – a viral TikTok trend inspired by Drake’s single “Toosie Slide” and the series of dance moves referenced in the track’s lyrics.
Justin Bieber, Tyga and Diddy have all previously taken part in the challenge.
In his own video, Hopkins called upon Stallone to take part in the challenge, all while impersonating the actor.
“Hey, Mr Stallone, keep writing! Good part for me in it? Gimme a part, major – huh?” Hopkins said.
Hopkins subsequently turned his attention to Schwarzenegger, saying hello to the Terminator star’s pet donkey Lulu and referencing his “I’ll be back” catchphrase, before performing a miniature jig.
“I couldn’t even skip when I was a kid,” Hopkins explains, before jumping into a boxing stance and challenging Stallone to a fight.
Hopkins, famous for playing cannibal psychiatrist Hannibal Lecter, has amassed an unexpected following via his TikTok videos and Twitter account.
His pet cat Niblo frequently makes appearances, while Hopkins has revealed a number of surprise skills, including painting and playing the kazoo.
Fans have praised his latest video, with one follower tweeting “Yassssss queen” at the star. Another added: “Bro whatever you’re having, I want it”.
