Hannibal Lecter. Odin. Dr. Robert Ford. Whatever he was in Transformers: The Last Knight. Anthony Hopkins‘ characters are generally not people you’d want to run afoul of. If his withering command of language doesn’t crush your ego and make you feel two feet tall, he might just bite your face off or hurl you into space or something.
Or…maybe he could terrify you just by being Anthony Hopkins, actor and social media personality. Maybe none of the characters he has played is in fact as psychotically dangerous as the man himself. But we’ll let you be the judge, based on this video, apropos of nothing in particular as far as we can tell, that he just posted to Twitter:

What do you think is going on here? Is it some sort of publicity stunt for Westworld‘s return tonight? Is the master thespian actually losing his mind? Or is this some sort of supernatural chain letter, made after Hopkins was pushed down a well (You didn’t hear about that? Neither did we, but it could have happened) that will result in your untimely demise seven days later when Anthony Hopkins reaches out of your computer monitor and emotes you to death?
Whatever the case, when it comes to scare factor, he’s still got it (clap, clap, clap-clap-clap).
What do you reckon Sir Hopkins is doing? Is it just a goof, or is there perhaps some deeper point in reading way too much into it? Does the “all work and no play” line mean he’s channeling The Shining? Let us know in comments!

Anyway, how about that Westworld?
- Why Westworld‘s version of A.I. singularity is unlikely.
- Is Ford, in fact, still alive?
- AÂ really bad knockoff robot that didn’t make the cut./strong>
