Anthony Hopkins, 82, turned up on TikTok busting out dance moves to Drake's "Toosie Slide."

He terrorized us in Silence of the Lambs and has delivered moving performances in films like Bram Stoker's Dracula, Meet Joe Black, Beowulf, Chaplin, Noah, and dozens of other acclaimed films. The 82-year-old British actor has received nearly every coveted award possible and is celebrated around the world, so you can only imagine everyone's surprise when he showed up on TikTok busting out the moves to Drake's "Toosie Slide."

This COVID-19 quarantine is just about over, but it's caused many people, including celebrities, to go a tad stir crazy. Anthony Hopkins is the last person anyone expected to show up on TikTok, but it's 2020 and we're in a pandemic and at this point, we can just about assume anything will happen. Hopkins shared his silly TikTok video to Twitter and sent a message to Drake that said, "#Drake I’m late to the party... but better late than never."

He then called out his famous friends Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone to complete the #ToosieSlideChallenge as well. In the video,  Anthony Hopkins even does impressions of Schwarzenegger and Stallone before shuffling a few more dance moves at the end. People responded kindly to the multifaceted entertainer's unlikely video, but no word yet on if the Terminator and Rocky have answered his challenge. Check it out below.
