Freeborn Be free. Happy holidays,” Anthony wrote, possibly as an addendum to the famous 1960s British film Born Free, about a couple raising a lioness.
His comments were met with well-wishers, including Hugh Jackman, his co-star in the new film The Son, who wrote Happy Christmas Tony x.
The Son is based on a play by French playwright Florian Zeller, part of a trilogy that includes The Father and The Mother.
Anthony previously won worldwide acclaim and an Oscar for the film adaptation of The Father, in which he starred opposite Olivia Colman.

Story: When he won an Oscar last year, he made it clear that he loves the comforts of home, but he missed the ceremony because he was staying at his home in Wales
He clearly showed his penchant for the comforts of home when he won an Oscar for The Father last year and didn’t even zoom in on the ceremony to accept it.
A source then told Page Six that Anthony was “fast asleep” at home in Wales when his Oscar triumph was announced.
His win was seen as a surprise in some quarters at the time, as fellow contestant Chadwick Boseman had recently died.

The next day, Anthony released a video from Wales expressing his surprise and gratitude at winning the Oscar.
He also paid tribute to Chadwick, who died aged just 43 in the summer of 2020 after a secret battle with cancer.
Florian Zeller directed The Son himself and edited the script with Dangerous Liaisons writer Christopher Hampton.
With a cast that includes Laura Dern and Vanessa Kirby, the film received an unenthusiastic critical response to the 40% tune on Rotten Tomatoes.
