Andy Serkis alone in the house looking for the tv remote: 'THEY STOLE IT FROM US!'

[h.j.w]

He definitely should've gotten an Oscar for Gollum, he nailed it.

[joekim]

I wonder if he ever just speaks as Gollum to himself at home or to his family.

[ohifonlyx]

Almost creepy how quickly he slipped into that. Dude was ready for it.

[marragonn]

Man his Gollum/Smeagol is just such a masterpiece of acting.

[dyanpoot]

Just look at his pure talent, Lord of the rings, Star Wars, Hobbit, King Kong, Marvel Cinematic Universe . Now Directing Christian Bale and Cate Blanchett ...
You ROCK mr Serkis You Rock ..

[noraauwigotner]

I love how James just has to say "Gollum" and Andy immediately jumps into character and spits his tea all over the place!

[vika]

He lives a dream. He makes millions and can walk out on the streets without people knowing who he is.

[MichaelHolmgaard]

Gollum is one of the greatest acting performances in cinematic history

[mileneisabel]

He is such a great actor and deserves the best.

[LeskoBrandonx]

He also voiced two orks... Snaga, the ork that chased Merry and Pippin through the forest... and Uruk-Hai, the ork that said “I’m starving, we ain’t had nuttin but maggoty bread for three stinkin days”... as well as the ring wraith Nazgul and the actual witch king.

He also voiced Caesar in all the new planet of the apes movies. He’s a god damn vocal genius

[soquidsnake]

His face is so naturally expressive, and you really forget how much he looks like Gollum until he does the part

[rsw]

I wonder if he ever gets tired of being asked to perform Gollum.

[OfficialNataly]

Met Andy Serkis about 3 years ago, he was the only actor who stayed behind to sign autographs and take pictures with all his fans, everyone else went straight to their limos. He’s one of the most humble human beings ever, love this guy! He’s a legend! And he signed my limited ed Hobbit Empire collectors magazine 😆 ❤️

[JUPTR_SUP]

Its amazing to think that just from listening to his cats with hairballs, he was able to create the gollum voice... Its just AMAZING ✨

[nostalium]

4:25 He did Gollum so hard, his tooth fell off!

[tianzie]

When he is in Gollum mode everyone just Shut up

[FreakieFan]

his performance as Gollum is so amazing. Totally should've gotten an Oscar nom (I hope he gets an Honorary Oscar soon).
Even without the effects, just as himself here doing Gollum he is utterly transfixing, as if he almost didn't even need the effects and it would've still worked amazingly in LoTR

[TomBertramMusic]

Corden's face, he is so happy and can't believe he's hearing Gollum in person

[ToxicSkull]

Michael is cool and all but he needed to lay low in this one. This was Andy’s moment
