The two-time Oscar winner, 88, was preparing to watch England's match against during the World Cup alongside his wife, 70-year-old Stella Arroyave, and posed for the camera with what looked like a playfully competitive expression on his face.

There was no mistaking whose side he was on, however, as he was clad in the 2026 England jersey, while Arroyave, who was born in Colombia, wore Mexico’s green jersey.

'We're all winners... #WorldCup2026,' read the caption.

Hopkins, who recently , is perhaps best known for his iconic role as Dr Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs (1991). His chilling performance garnered him the Oscar for Best Actor.

He revisited the cannibalistic serial killer and former forensic psychiatrist in the sequel Hannibal (2001) and the prequel Red Dragon (2002), which doubled as a remake of Michael Mann's classic serial-killer thriller Manhunter (1986), in which Succession star Brian Cox played a very different version of Lecter years earlier.

As Stevens in The Remains of the Day (1993), Hopkins delivered an acclaimed performance as the repressed and devoted butler who gives up personal happiness and love to serve his employer, Lord Darlington.

The film also starred Emma Thompson as the estate's housekeeper, Miss Kenton, whose affections Hopkins's character couldn't return until it was too late.
