Serkis mocks Theresa May

-

As if British Prime Minister Theresa May weren’t in enough of a Brexit bind, now she has to deal with a biting Andy Serkis impersonat­ion that’s making the digital rounds.

Literally biting because it’s Serkis via his immortal rendition of Gollum.

The Lord of the Rings actor reprised a version of the One Ring-obsessed character in a new video posted by We Wants It. Much like the Gollum of the film series, Serkis’ May has her own fixation: the Brexit withdrawal agreement.

“Oh, Precious, our agreement,” says a blue-suit clad Serkis. “This is it. Our deal... We takes back control: Money, borders, laws, blue passportse­s.”

But another May personalit­y quickly rebuts: “No. It hurts the people. Makes them poorer.”

The parody features the two sides of May arguing with herself and it’s somehow both hilarious and terrifying. One personalit­y only cares about how much she wants the “juicy and sweet” deal, while the other recognises that there are plenty of people opposed to the idea.

“They hates the deal, all of them hates it. They wants a people’s vote,” Gollum/May says to herself.
