Anthony Hopkins recently delighted his followers on social media by inviting them to “dance like no one’s watching” in a heartwarming video.
The 86-year-old legendary actor, best known for his intense roles such as Dr. Hannibal Lecter in “The Silence of the Lambs,” shared a lighter side of himself, dancing to Mikis Theodorakis’ iconic “Zorba’s Dance.”
In his living room, Hopkins showcased his dance moves, which intriguingly didn’t resemble the traditional Greek syrtaki but rather had the flair of a cumbia style. This choice of dance, as he has mentioned in the past, draws from the varied musical rhythms and folk dance traditions of Latin America.
Despite the unexpected blend of styles, fans were charmed by the genuine joy and spirit he exhibited. The video begins with a cheerful “hola,” a nod to his affection for Latin dance, while incorporating the beloved elements of “Zorba the Greek.” Hopkins’ post quickly went viral, captivating audiences who appreciate seeing the actor’s real personality behind his iconic on-screen characters.
