LONDON — Wearing a tall black hat, a heavy mottled fur coat covered in trinkets, a long beard and plenty of hair, Andy Serkis received a round of applause from the crew of “A Christmas Carol’’ after thanking them for their hard work on the set.
“I don’t think I’ve ever worn such an uncomfortable costume,’’ said Serkis. “The costume’s really heavy. I’ve got an eye which is kind of a milky eye which I have no peripheral vision out of the right-hand side of my face. I’ve got long fingernails.”Even the colder night shoots were no relief. “I thought, I’ve got the best costume, I don’t need a warm set coat. But then it started raining and I realized when my costume started getting wet, it weighed about five times as much,” Serkis said.
Serkis, who is perhaps best-known as the actor behind the computer-enhanced character of Gollum in “The Lord of the Rings’’ and “Hobbit’’ films, talked to the Associated Press on set in Hertfordshire, England, after wrapping his part in the production of “A Christmas Carol’’ last summer.
