(CNN Spanish) — Anthony Hopkins recently surprised social networks by dancing to the rhythm of “La pollera colorá” by Juan Bautista Madera Castro. However, this is not the first time that the British actor has shown his love for Latin music.
The 84-year-old Hollywood star — who has millions of followers on TikTok and Instagram — often shares aspects of his life on social media, whether it’s clips from his successful film career, emotional speeches or his Latino side.
Supermodel Naomi Campbell celebrated dancing with hearts: “❤️❤️❤️.”
Natalia Jerez, Colombian actress, commented: “mijerez FANTASTIC! 🇨🇴🎶🕺🏻✨ COLOMBIAN WAY”.
The also actress Susana Torres told him: “So lovely!!! Hugs from Colombia!!!”.
The video has more than 3.5 million views on Instagram and 5.5 on TikTok.
Recall that the actor, born in Wales and best known for playing Hannibal Lecter in “The Silence of the Lambs” in 1991, has been married since 2003 to Stella Arroyave, an actress and writer from Popayán, Colombia, who may have been his guide. and inspiration behind some of his most viral videos.
Arroyave is the actor’s third wife.
“I’m Colombian,” said Hopkins in 2021 in a video published in March where he is seen dancing to the rhythm of Elvis Crespo and a month later, the actor uploaded another video dancing to the salsa hit “Llorarás” by Oscar D’León .
Host Martha Stewart, who was Hopkins’s partner, said earlier this year that she ended her affair with Anthony Hopkins because she couldn’t separate the actor from his most notorious film role. On ‘The Ellen Show’, the 80-year-old lifestyle guru and TV personality said she had to break up with the 84-year-old Welsh Oscar winner after recalling her chilling performance in the thriller horror film “The Silence of the Lambs”.
Stewart evidently did not enjoy the side of Hopkins as a Latin dancer.
