The Gollum actor read the entire J.R.R. Tolkien classic in one sitting this week Andy Serkis has raised £280,000 with his The Hobbit readathon this week.
The actor, who plays Gollum in the classic film series, read the whole J.R.R. Tolkein book in one sitting on Friday (May 8).
It took the actor just under 11 hours to finish the book, and he was watched by upwards of 650,000 people. The money raised will be split evenly between NHS Charities Together and children’s charity Best Beginnings, of which Serkis is an ambassador.
Thank you ALL so much for tuning in and for supporting our frontline workers. I am truly humbled by the response! Because of you, we raised more than £270,000 and counting!
