Personal Life
Serkis lives in Crouch End, North London with his wife, actress Lorraine Ashbourne, and their three children: Ruby (b. 1998), Sonny (b. 2000) and Louis (b. 2004).
Serkis was a vegetarian but started to eat fish during the filming of The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. He writes about it in his book Gollum: How We Made Movie Magic, published in 2004.
Serkis was born to Catholic parents, and though he has been a staunch atheist since his teenage years, he is drawn to the karmic possibilities of energy transference, specifically "the idea that your energy lives on after you".
