Now, Hopkins is in TikTok, which means he's attempting TikTok memes. But the daring actor who has awed audiences for decades in films like The Lion in Winter, The Elephant Man, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Titus, Transformers: The Last Knight and Two Popes cannot be contained by one meme. So, he does his own thing.

Hopkins begins by performing the #toosieslidechallenge, dancing to Drake's "Left Foot Up, Right Foot Slide." Then without warning, he abruptly abandons this effort to impersonate Sylvester Stallone then Arnold Schwarzenegger. It's a brief medley of mad creativity because Hopkins contains multitudes.
Ours is not to understand this art, only to appreciate it.
