Cinema legend Sir Anthony Hopkins has again melted the hearts of social media users with his version of the Toosie Slide dance challenge. The challenge is based on the song by Canadian rapper Drake, released together with a music video in which the singer dances to the lyrics: "Right foot up, left foot slide, left foot up, right foot slide". The song and Drake’s dance moves became extremely popular and spawned numerous variations on social media, with numerous celebrities taking part in the challenge.
Drake’s Toosie Slide has become the fastest trend on TikTok to reach a BILLION hashtag views - surpassing the milestone in just 2 days 🎉
