Anthony Hopkins has been cheering up the internet once more with his dancing skills, this time with a sassy Latin number, definitely worthy of a spot on Strictly Come Dancing. The veteran Welsh actor, who is mood-boostingly cheery on his social media, is seen sort of Samba-ing across a room to Colombian folk music and his fans are loving it.
The post on Instagram, captioned 'Sunday Summer Vibes', sees the double Oscar-winner dancing to La Pollera Colera in a jazzy summer shirt and fedora to make the Man from Del Monte jealous. It's not the first time Sir Tony has bust some moves on camera and his social media - he has 2.8m followers on TikTok alone - shows fans and film buffs a lighter, sillier side to the actor who is famous for serious roles such as King Lear, Hannibal Lecter and Stevens in Remains of the Day.

The 84-year-old, who was born in Margam, was seen earlier this year dancing while getting ready for the Oscars, at an Oscars afterparty and doing a (slightly disconcerting) version of the Jiggle Jiggle dance that took TikTok by storm earlier this year.
Model Naomi Campbell was one of the first to comment with three love hearts to the video, while many of his followers were chuffed with his love of Latin music. Colombian actor, Carlos Manuel Vesga called him a: "A British Cumbiambero!" - which means a person who dances to the Colombian cumbia type of music. Another fan wrote: "Best thing on internet today."
Last year, Hopkins was in Wales when he scooped his second Oscar and was filmed dancing with actress Salma Hayek and popping into Llantwit Major Greggs for a pasty. Last week he also scooped the Global Contribution to Motion Picture award at the National Film Awards in London.
