Did we just see Hannibal Lecter lose it on Twitter?
Anthony Hopkins, considered one of the greatest living actors, posted a disturbing video on Twitter Sunday with the caption, "This is what happens when you're all work and no play..."
The video shows him dressed in black, bobbing back and forth with a crazed smile on his face, while music plays.

It's a performance befitting Hannibal Lecter, the terrifying cannibalistic character from The Silence of the Lambs for which Hopkins won the 1992 Academy Award for best actor.
The Twitter reaction ranged from puzzled to frightened, with one commenter saying: "That scared me more than Silence of the Lambs ..."
That scared me more than Silence of the Lambs ...

"Is it just me, or is this scaring the crap out of anyone else?" another commented.
Is it just me, or is this scaring the crap out of anyone else? I’m going to have nightmares of a stressed-out Hannibal Lecter, snapping from “over-work”!
Dear Sir Anthony: go out and “play”, or at least take a walk in the sun & have a nice quiet pint 🍺 somewhere, hon...

But others were amused. "The best 32 seconds of my life," wrote one.

So why no play for the 80-year-old actor? He left HBO's Westworld after season one in 2016, but his upcoming roles reportedly include King Lear in a television film.
