HEY, HOPKINS — NICE ABS!

Crewmembers on the upcoming flick “The Human Stain” were oh-so-eager to eyeball a scene where sexy Nicole Kidman seduces much-older screen lover Anthony Hopkins with a sizzling striptease! But everyone DREADED witnessing the climactic moment when Nicole removes the 64-year-old actor’s shirt — expecting it’d be “wrinkle, wrinkle, ancient star!” Well . . . surprise, SURPRISE! “My eyes almost popped out of my head,” said a female eyewitness. “The man looked absolutely RIPPED! He had the chest and abs of a guy 15 years younger!” Turns out trim Tony (nobody’s old fool!) secretly worked out for WEEKS to sculpt his bod for the scene!
