Andy Serkis brings back Gollum to parody Theresa May

TwitterFacebook

As you’re likely aware, the UK’s Brexit deal is well, not very popular.

Despite the turmoil, the deal is very precious to Prime Minister Theresa May though, which makes it prime parody material for Andy Serkis, who played Gollum in the Lord of the Rings film series.

“This is it. Our deal,” Serkis, dressed as May, said in the video. “We takes back control — borders, laws, blue passports.”

It’s part of a campaign for the People’s Vote, a group calling for another referendum on whether the UK should leave the European Union. Read more…

In the case of the real world, Jackson says the recent elections in America show signs of a generational change that give him hobbit-like hope for the future.

Andy Serkis brings out Gollum to make a hilarious point about his most famous role

TwitterFacebook

Andy Serkis has proven by now that he is not a one-trick pony. The motion capture actor and now director of Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle has starred in everything from Star Wars to Planet of the Apes. 

But, he is undoubtedly most famous for playing the tortured, ring-obsessed Gollum — AKA Sméagol — in Lord of the Rings. Which is why James Corden on The Late Late Show asked Serkis to whip out the character for a little while. 

Serkis delivered a pretty funny Gollum/Sméagol monologue about his two-sided relationship with his most famous character. 

“Don’t make me do Gollum, I don’t want to do it. Yes you do, precious.” Read more…
