Gandalf tells you why to quarantine.
Charlie Hopkinson is a comedic impressionist, impersonator, voice guy, whatever you want to call it who specialises in voices from current television shows and films. His standup is a character act about a retired maths teacher, his standup set includes impressions of Sir David Attenborough, Robin Williams, Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson, Peaky Blinders, Tommy and Arthur Shelby and Gandalf from Lord of the Rings.
Always looking to update my roster I look to try out subscriber suggested impressions in the impressions challenge series before honing the best ones. Recently I have added Peaky Blinders and Marvel / Avengers characters to my arsenal!
I currently run a number of series including:
Impression Reels - The very best impressions I can do, Including LOTR, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Peaky Blinders, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Cartoons .etc
Impression Challenges - Trying out new impressions in a less polished form.
Impression Dramatic song covers - Voices of Reason.
Low Budget Animation - Stickman sketch remakes of Iconic Tv shows and movies.
How to do Impressions - An audience lead tutorial series where I attempt to pass on my Impressions knowledge.
Dubs - Comedic dubs of iconic scenes with new dialogue, (My Peaky Blinders and Lord of The Rings dubs have grossed over 6 million views on Facebook)
Standup - Clips from Standup sets I have performed over the last year.
Comedy Sketches - Comedy Sketches
I started learning impressions in 2012, at the age of 20. You can follow my full impressions journey in my new ‘How to do impressions’ tutorial series
After graduating from the University of Warwick in the summer 2013 he took 4 months out to concentrate on SEworld videos full time, including producing his most viewed video to date ‘Morgan Freeman and 40 other impressions’ with just over 12 million views. This foray into being a ‘full time SEworldr’ was cut short as he went travelling for 3 months before starting a 2 year teaching Graduate scheme with Charity ‘Teach First’.
While teaching he has performed in and narrated the 4 episode series ‘Lookalikes’ as Morgan Freeman. The show and the narration received a positive reception. The show aired on Channel 4 during the prime time slot of Friday 10pm for three weeks. It is now currently available on Netflix. Charlie also performed with other well known impressionists for an unaired pilot.
Charlie has worked for several prominent brands in relation to their products, including google and formula 1.
Since the summer of 2016 Charlie has once again dived into the world of SEworld, for the first time producing content on a weekly basis. He is also focusing on live performance; he has performed in live venues a total of 3 times to date.
His top impressions include:
Morgan Freeman (Red -Shawshank redemption)
Sir Ian McKellen (Gandalf - Lord of the Rings)
Aaron Paul (Jesse Pinkman - Breaking Bad)
Alan Rickman (Snape - Harry Potter)
Michael Caine (Alfred - Batman)
Jon Snow (Game of Thrones)
Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Carribean)
Christoph Waltz (Django Unchained, Inglorious bastards)
Alec Guiness (Ben Kenobi - Star Wars)
Agent Smith (The Matrix)
Sean Bean (Boromir - Lord of the Rings)
Richard Armitage (Thorin Oakenshield - The Hobbit)
Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister - Game of Thrones)
Tyrion Lannister (Game of Thrones)
Bryan Cranston (Walter White - Breaking Bad)
Frank Underwood (House of Cards)
Tommy Shelby (Peaky Blinders)

and now it is 2021 because some people don't listen to gandalf:(
Imagine how this video would age when CDC and WHO will say that lockdowns didn't do jack sh*it to stopping Corona virus, just like they did with Ibrupofen being ok to take in case of Corona or the PCR tests giving 30% positives therefore they aren't so reliable like they used to be in the beginning. 🙄
You are a genius
Quarantine is to try to stop this virus Corbyn.
This is absolute gold
The quarantine only helps the NHS buy more time to put up more and more vapid TikTok videos.
It's too bad that this did not age well, it is excellent work. But it's time to get back to living life, Mithrandir. Maybe you could do one on that?
How did I find this just now?! I’m subbing!
Welcome to the channel!
This could have been an official announcement instead of that boring government one.
0010110 VICTORY OF THE LIGHT MY DIVINE FAMILY
Nice impression, but all these virtue signaling videos are ubiquitous and by now very, very boring.
The average age of death for Coronavirus patients is older than the UK's average life expectancy. So to conclude you are more likely to die of old age than this virus.
@Guy Incognito no, i'm saying your comparison is flawed, to truly compare the data sets, you need an existence where the virus is the only way to die, and one where everything else is the only way to die then make a comparison. Obviously in reality it's impossible, but your comparison in the real world is not accurate
@Charlie Hopkinson That would be even worse as that means we have destroyed our economy and turned our nation into an open prison to prevent people already dying from catching a virus.
Not a direct comparison, as people already dying on old age is the baseline, the virus deaths is on top of those, the two are not mutually exclusive
The voices are super!
President Gandalf 2020
damn he is hot 😲
This channel is pure propaganda Bullshit. Stop spreading the lies of the Rothschilds and their minions. You fool.
Why the halfling? 😂
AWESOME!
why do i still get emotional over thid
Or you can just cast a ring to the fire and destroy the Coronavirus
This part gives me the courage during this pandemic these days. Lesson: Just stay the f**k at home.
If Amazon hire you to be Mithrandir in the upcoming Middle Earth series, Please dont decline.
Haha Gandalf flashbacks
That whistle everytime you say an "s"
I love it
Incredible. Please. Continue.
I Feel like these are some of the best educational videos driving the point home for people. NHS/Government should really hire them lol Who dares say no to Gandalf
To corona. YOU SHALL NOT PASS INTO US!!!
😭😭😭😭🥰
Good
I feel this is the End of the World for the Human Race.The Virus will make the Human Race to become extinct.The Birds,Fish and the Animals will be left.The Aliens from Outer Space will invade the Earth in their UFO’s. The Dinosaurs will return as well.What a Partnership,Aliens and Dinosaurs.I wish I was here to see it all.There again I am a Time Traveller(I will see it).

😀
*LMFAO*
Perfect
Please do a black gate scene when this is all over just make sauron the virus
So perfectly said !
Subscribed to your channel and shared this with friends..love to see a hobbit version of this (a little detailed one) of possible
Wow just binged your channel for a bit. Was awesome!! Subscribing now.
Tolkien would be rolling in his grave if he saw his creation used as propaganda to justify the exercise of absolute, tyrannical state power. 'But what if we used the ring for good?...' did all of you miss the primary message of the saga?
lol, 'every scientist'. Have you ever questioned a single thing you've heard from the media? I know it's a waste of half a second to paste this here, but I'm feeling generous. seworld.info/will/iKOuqrHUpJdztKM/video
@benhmn I don't fear it, but I fear it for other people, or is the view of every scientist lost on you?
Amazing strawman, but no. My message is that this is an involuntary lockdown of 1 billion people, not a quarantine. And if you fear a force of nature with a tiny chance of killing you over completely unprecedented governmental overreach, then the entire point of LOTR is lost on you.
What’s your message? Don’t help each other and take some small responsibility?
Is it just me or does he have a southern accent?
Loving all the LOTR quarantine related content!
How about Vikings !
Ooops he did it again 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
Make more of these!!
Good shit! LOL
The virus is real but this lockdown is crap. Fauci had already admitted to his fellow doctors in the New England Journal of medicine that it's just a strong version of the flu. They"re locking us down while Trump signed 5G into LAW. ( Yeah no one got a choice about it, they just did it) So now we'll all be hooked up to the cancer causing " Internet of Things" Meanwhile Trump has given unprecedented power to the Federal Reserve over the US economy to keep it from collapsing ( from no one being able to go to work) & it's only a matter of time til they introduce a cashless, digitized economy as well as a coronavirus vaccine ( possibly with chip inside) So The New World Order is being rolled out in front of our faces & they used a populist president to do it while we all cower at home over a "virus" no more fatal than the common cold. So how was your day?
I love ur impressions they're so good, people need to see this to stop the virus!
@Charlie Hopkin HEY!
Yes Charlie thank you for doing this! Will share!
Your immitation of Gandalf is remarkable. Dont't know how else to put it. Beautiful.
😂 👌👏
Gandalf: True courage is about knowing not when to take a life, but when to spare one.
Deep
you should tell that to Covid-19
@Unspoken Uprising fixed, and I think the movie's version is a little different.
Check your wording on that mate. You A, Contridicted yourself and B, got the quote slightly wrong xP
This is gonna go viral. Your Gandalf impression is out of this world bro
marry me
I wish the virus 🦠 had never come to us. I wish none of this happened. Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide . All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.
@KFMV UYL that would be nice.
Nah this world is fucked up it needs to be restarted if possible
Let's all remember that a wizard is never late, nor early, he arrives precisely when he means to!
The beacons are lit! I will answer the call... by staying inside.
Man,you really suck!!!!!👍👏🤣🤣
