Drake has proven that even the gods have the right to have some fun. The Oscars winner posted a lovely throwback video of him dancing in isolation in 2020, and the internet is loving every bit of it.

Hopkins attempts the Toosie Slide, a dance Drake turned viral, with a few jabs at Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger thrown in for laughs. “Hey Mr. Stallone, keep riding,” he says halfway through the dance, then continues, “Got a part for me? Give me a part of agent, huh?” He could not contain his laughter as he went on, imitating Schwarzenegger’s iconic line, “I’ll be back.” The video ends with Hopkins laughing while shadowboxing, almost certainly a sight more energetic than those half his age.

There was pandemonium among the fans. One of them exclaimed, “You are so entertaining in so many ways! Bloody good painter as well!” That was followed by a mini-thriller about Hopkins’ shadowed artistic talents, with another user commenting, “I am thrilled to have one of his paintings. He is as charming as he is talented.”

Internationally, the love love took to the floor, with the Spanish-speaking fans pouring fine words. One fan wrote in Spanish, “Eres bueno bailando también. ¡Baila una Cumbia para nosotros!” While another teased, “No tiene más ritmo que un grifo con fugas, pero lo amo!” The comment continued by sending some cheers from Chile and hoping that Hopkins keeps dancing for many more years.

Others could not help but bring up Hopkins’ most notorious role, one declaring, “Why do I keep thinking Hannibal when I see Anthony, who by the way is a brilliant actor.” Another fan stated, “We ride at dawn for AH!” leaving some sturdy reactionism intact.

French supporters were heard too, with one simply stating, “Le plus grand acteur du monde,” while Argentineans sent love from South America. Clearly, these worldwide expressions of love evidently prove that Hopkins’ populism cuts across generations and cuts across borders.

What makes the video especially cute is an esteemed actor going out dancing without taking himself seriously. At 86, he certainly isn’t slowing down anytime soon — whether that be with acting, painting, or some surprisingly good dancing. This trip down memory lane is a charming reminder that, through isolations and hard times, there arises an irrepressible sea of creativity and humor.

The release also brought on waves of 2020 nostalgia with one user tagging Drake’s Instagram “EPIC!” Clearly, Hopkins has learnt that he is more than just an actor; he has become a full-fledged internet celebrity with an adorably playful personality. From keeping tight with award-winning acting to trying out viral dances, Anthony Hopkins remains one of the most surprising and enchanting topics in the present.
