Anthony Hopkins Recites Hamlet On Tiktok At 87. Here Are The Accounts Seniors Are Loving Right Now

When a two-time Oscar winner posts himself reciting Shakespeare in a single take, the internet pays attention. Anthony Hopkins joined TikTok in 2020 and has 3.7 million followers. He is not alone. According to AARP’s 2026 Tech Trends Survey, 73% of adults 50 and older are active on social media. The audience is there, and so are the creators. Here are some of the accounts worth following.

Anthony Hopkins (@anthonyhopkins)

Hopkins posts the way he acts: with complete commitment and no apparent concern for what anyone thinks. The Hamlet clip runs under a minute. There are paintings, piano performances, and a New Year’s video marking his sobriety anniversary that drew 458,000 likes. No filter, no caption explaining himself. Just the work.

Grandma Droniak (@grandma_droniak)

Lillian Droniak is 94 years old and has 14.9 million TikTok followers, which is more than most professional athletes and all of your favorite podcasters. She dispenses dating advice, comments on current events, and has been known to share her rules for her own funeral. She is funnier than you, and she knows it.

Brunch with Babs (@brunchwithbabs)

Babs Costello started making videos during the pandemic when her daughter taught her how to use TikTok. She now has 4.1 million followers who come for the cooking tutorials and the life advice delivered in the tone of a mother who has seen everything and remains warm about most of it. She has a cookbook deal. The recipes actually work.

Grandad Joe (@grandadjoe1933)

Joe Allington is 89 years old, British, and has 9 million TikTok followers for his family-friendly comedy and dance videos. He became a viral sensation during the pandemic and has not slowed down. His content is the digital equivalent of running into the funniest person at a party and realizing they are much older than you.

Grandpa Chan (@grandpachan)

A Korean grandfather and grandmother in their 80s who started their TikTok account specifically to connect with their four grandchildren. They now have 2.6 million followers who watch them make traditional Korean food, navigate modern technology, and demonstrate what it looks like when two people who have spent a lifetime together still enjoy each other.

Joan MacDonald (@trainwithjoan)

Joan MacDonald started working out at age 70 after her daughter encouraged her to address serious health problems. She documented the process, and over a million people followed along. Her platform brings the same message: it is not too late, the work is real, and the results are visible and verifiable.

Wrap up

The assumption that TikTok belongs to teenagers has been quietly dismantled by a 94-year-old with opinions about dating and a Welsh knight reciting the To be or not to be soliloquy in his living room. These accounts are worth your time. Some of them might even change how you think about yours.
