Watch Andy Serkis Read Trump Tweets Gollum Style
For some of us, Andy Serkis will always be Gollum.
From Lord of the Rings to Planet of the Apes, Andy Serkis will always be best known for his role as Gollum.

The main highlight was when Colbert asked Serkis to read the “covfefe” tweet which Serkis couldn’t help but tag on a little improvisation — “What’s covfefe, precious?”
