What’s scarier than Andy Serkis as Gollum? Andy Serkis as Gollum in drag as Theresa May. The motion capture legend brought his iconic “The Lord of the Rings” character back for an anti-Brexit advertisement that criticizes the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and her diabolical obsession with Brexit. May has been head of the UK’s Conservative Party since 2016.
The advertisement features Serkis in drag as May and finds him riffing on Gollum’s famous scene in Peter Jackson’s “The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers,” in which the two halves of his personality have a back-and-forth conversation. “We takes back control,” Serkis hisses as the Gollum version of May. “Money, borders, laws…blue passports! We wants it.” Meanwhile, the Smeagol side of May argues that perhaps it’s best to consult the people before taking on the financial burdens of Brexit.
The video arrives at a busy time for Serkis.
