Anthony Hopkins surprised fans by appearing alongside his wife in a social media post shortly before England’s match against Mexico during the World Cup.
The 88-year-old actor was photographed next to Stella Arroyave, 70, and looked unrecognizable, with a slimmer face, completely white hair and a beard. The couple was ready to cheer, with him wearing England’s team shirt and her, who was born in Colombia, wearing Mexico’s green shirt.
“We are all winners… #worldcup2026”, he wrote in the caption of the photo posted on Instagram.
In the comments, many football supporters and Hopkins fans wished the couple a great World Cup and showed a lot of affection for the actor; “God was in a very good mood the day He created you,” one person wrote.
“You will always be the greatest actor and the best Hannibal Lecter,” another commented, referring to Hopkins’ phenomenal work in “The Silence of the Lambs”, which earned him the Oscar for Best Actor in 1991.
“Girl, the way he is looking at you… it looks like he is hungry… be careful,” joked a third person.
