ANDY SHARMA AS GULLIVER FROM GULLIVER’S TRAVELS

Andy is much more used to being behind a camera than being in front of one, but he gamely steps up to the challenge in an outfit inspired by the protagonist of Jonathan Swift’s four-part satirical work Gulliver’s Travels. 

With the help of costumier friends, Andy manages to put together a presentable eighteenth-century costume in green and gold, complete with a tricorne hat and a first edition copy of the book itself. The highlight of his outfit? The embroidered 6-inch tall Lilliputians climbing up his fancy breeches, and, in one of his pockets, a little Polly-and-Feriha-sized doll that seems to wave hello at whoever sees it.
