he’s also a great interviewer, check out his podcast where he interviews guillermo del toro

I saw someone comment that he doesn't seem to realize he's famous. Feels like that's accurate.

@@gslinger19 he shouldnt have trhown the ring, he should learn to harness and control the power of the ring. Fight sauron with his own power!

@@brandons5426 he sure doesn't act like it One of my parents did amphetamines. I'm pretty attuned to tweeked out nonsense. I see none of that here.

I completely agree. He’s very good at describing and recalling the details where it’s almost like he’s tell you another story.

Exactly what I was thinking! He’s amazing 🙏🏻

Seriously. I actually enjoy watching him in interviews. So much knowledge, but such a non pretentious human being. He seems like such a good person.

Agreed, only Jeff Daniel’s Breakdown came close for me. I truly believe Elijah Wood is bigger fan of movies than me

@ezenoto His love of music makes sense. He's in Apples in Stereo and Beastie Boy videos? #love

I got to see him on a panel for wizard con years ago and he was great to listen to.

Perfection.

I am such a fan of the raw emotion he portrayed. I just... Can't believe how blessed we are that he got the role. It's amazing to watch. Lord of the Rings was the best cast series I've ever seen. It's probably so good because the friendships were real. I have dreams to direct films, and i always remind myself that i would have time set aside for the cast spend time together before they start working, like they did. It's smart. Ugh. The chemistry was amazing.

@@stellasilverstone I wish you all the best with your dreams to direct! You can tell when a cast genuinely bonds with each other or not, and in the case of LOTR, it was just perfect!

yeah that was 20 years ago hes still a awesome actor

This is true. The accent could have easily been laughable. He was also incredibly sincere, without the faintest feeling of irony, which we never see anymore. Everybody in those movies was perfect. It could never be done again.

Same!! Like can we just chat over some beers and geek out over film?? Please

He's super sweet and down to earth. I met him at a convention once and he immediately made me feel at ease even though I wanted to freak out because I'm meeting an amazing actor that I grew up watching.

Yes! I keep remembering how he went to people's islands on Animal Crossing in the early months of covid lockdown and was so polite. A sweetheart!

Yes, especially rare because he was a child actor.

down to *middle earth

@@jparkerez23 hahahahahah

It’s awesome that he seems to have stayed grounded as a human being. Not some “persona” or having entitlement for his amazing legacy. No ego.

Literally I came here for #1 The Guy #2 frodo

Not much to say probably. Short part, more of a cameo, and probably just took the job as more of a favor or for the quick fun.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

no huck finn? no good son? bah!

No man, clearly it's all about North...with lines such as "My crack?!? What gives you the right to show my crack on every highway?!?"

All of the Hobbits are still friends to this day and still hang out all the time. I can’t imagine a better way to meet your best friends than by taking part in the greatest movie trilogy ever created.

If you haven’t seen it, Dom Monaghan and Billy Boyd have a podcast where like 30% of what they talk about is still Tolkien lol. Elijah and Sean Astin have both been on there. Maybe other cast members, too

@@SnailHatan what’s it called?

@@thehyperobsesr In case you havent found it yet, its called the friendship onion.

@@Eli-oi9vk great thx😉

he isn't that loaded financially.

Lol right, I thought they'd save it for last

They always do it chronology order, the reason LOTR is first: he doesn't have much to talk before that.

not true actually, he was a big child actor

@@Overdive91 I'm pissed that I'm like halfway through and nothing on the faculty and the good son.

Not talking about Lord of the Rings is like not talking about Sairway to Heaven when talking about Led Zeppelin. This film will be what he’s remembered for above all

Star Wars fandon - Mark hammil LOTR fandon - Elijah Wood

@@gabrielswalsh I had the same thought lol

Agree. Educated and well grounded. Bravo.

Ya. It's like he just shows up when he puts out a movie or something. Weird.

I feel like the fact he obviously made so many friends that he's still so close to even to this day makes it all a very fond subject for him to talk about rather than just another job. Just seems like an incredibly warm, humble guy.

I wish they would have mentioned that one, it was an incredible twist and something extraordinarily different for Culkin and I don't think anyone could of imagined he would play such an iconic role as a villain. I also was hoping they would mention Radio Flyer

Yes, they completely skipped his acting history as a child and teen actor. Shame.

Or North!!! I loved North!

I agree…that is my first introduction to him as an actor…he was so good in it…

they left so much out, his career did not start with LOTR. Though I'm a huge fan of those movies, they should have spent two thirds of the time they spent on those movies on the childhood actor he was. He was fantastic in The Good Son. And I also liked him in Forever Young with Mel Gibson, and Deep Impact was another great movie. A very good child actor who did not seem to be weight down by it.

Elijah had a role in it?

@@echoptic775 Yes. He played the older brother.

@@echoptic775 he was the lead

@@BillyCobbOfficial i just saw it didnt know that, but cool

@@BillyCobbOfficial you’re everywhere Billy first riverschat now here 😭

John Rhys Davies had a mixed opinion about working on the films, mostly because of his allergic reaction to the prosthetic he wore on his face. But still speaks highly of the films themselves.

Your forgetting Christopher lee

@@Thros1 yeah true he was (deservedly) annoyed that he got cut out of Return of the King.

@@Nebuchadnezzar31 I remember being irritated when the film came out that they omitted the scouring of the shire, but it made sense for the film adaptation. Over the years that irritation faded to actual admiration for that choice. It was brilliant in the books, but the film worked so much better without it than it could have if they tried to include it. That feeling extends to a bunch of things the films left out/changed. Plus, it gave new LotR fans a great reason to read the books and experience the bits they missed in the films.

@@Nebuchadnezzar31 He still really only had good things to say in that Reunited Apart show

He listed Alamo drafthouse as one of his favorite places on another video haha

Whats a hobbit doing in Austin, did he introduced himself as mr. Underhill?

That’s dope! Yeah he’s definitely be cool to hang out woth

I've briefly met him too, and he's very down to earth and cool.

Lmao.. Elijah memes

I’d like to know more about his movies the good son , huck finn, radio flyer , ect but none of the interviewers ever ask :(

"Everything is Illuminated" is a must watch. A+

@@bonnieparkertheoutlaw7353 exactly. I want to know more about his more popular films since he was a child that brings back wonderful memories. Not these obscure indie films.

💚

yeah thats insane saw every single one tin theaters oof

It has always seemed to me to have been one of those very rare occasions when a whole bunch of people who are at the very top of their game come together. The actors, the writers, the costume designers (the birth of WETA workshop), the set designers (literally built Hobbiton), the animators (they literally created a computer program to generate the huge armies) and so many more. A confluence of talent, experience, perseverance and imagination that we probably won’t see again

The only visible flaw in the films at all were the appearance and disappearance of the chain holding the ring.

@@candicelitrenta8890 lol I never thought about this. This is gonna bug me next time I watch them xD

Only flaw: It wasn't long enough. Seriously I would watch them just walk about more and do stuff like eat, sleep, joke, tell stories and more. LOL

Agreed. I've watched it at least 100 times now and have been a fan since I was pretty young and the lord of the rings trilogy is some of my most favorite and beloved movies! I actually just got done rewatching the trilogy a couple of days ago. Never gets old for me. However Harry Potter is in this category for me too, so I can't quite agree with you on that part but to each their own 😅

He does talk very fondly of it in his recent Hot Ones interview!

@@ettorecassetta8183 I haven't seen that episode yet! Thanks for letting me know!

@@macmusicreview 'Ooooooooohhh......My name is Wirt and his name is Greg. We're related cause my mom remarried and then gave birth to him with my step-dad.'

It’s my favourite show ever, he did such a perfect job

Ohh gonna check that show out

Did they mention Good Son ?

Virgo mortenssen was underutilized

He speaks very clearly, perfect diction, excellent vocabulary, doesn't say "like" or "uhh," you can hear the joy in his voice.

@@cleverusername9369 as soon as I read this he said uuuhhh like yeah

In fact I would want to be engaged TO him.

Do you watch/listen to The Friendship Onion?

He's like the polar opposite of Jim Carey, completely normal, well adjusted, and down to earth lol. And yeah I think you're right in that he truly seems to be quite likeable. His episode on Hot Ones is one of my favorites simply for the fact that he just comes across as being utterly genuine and friendly, like he hasn't had his soul sucked dry by Hollywood like so many of his peers.

@@Jmart8624 Lol what?Jim Carey's really cool irl lol.

@@alalalala57 I used to really like him too. In recent years he's kinda lost his mind and is a bit full of himself.

Thisnis exactly what i was thinking

Well Hes an Actor He was Acting

True, one of the few guys who was never tired talking about LOTR. Even Gandalf actor looks tired always talking about it.

Yes it is

Best film trilogy of all time

@@paulh.9937 false

@@cadancummings7992 name one that's better

@@paulh.9937 Leprechaun and Jaws.

Yes very good commentaire

So underrated never thought I'd see any1 mention it

That was my favorite as well

Oh I love that one. Pretty bubbles in the air. XD

watched through the whole thing waiting for it :(

Green street is not underrated in the uk don’t worry

Apparently his mother didn't let him go to Hollywood parties without her as a kid. Very wise of her

@@Luke-kj1rj momma knows best.

more like a child actor that the industry didn't destroy

@@Golgari213 is his mother maleficient/snow white stepmother?

@@annedrieck7316 duhh

You’re freakin cute 🥰

Super weird ending though it felt rushed like they had to end it

Me neither, whatta shame

Great show. Loved it. Good shout out

I agree. Was hoping to hear something about that show

I think maybe they left it out because of the Max Landis connection.

One of my all time favs

That is one of my fav during my childhood years....cause he is with macaulay culkin

Carrey robbed of an Oscar

@@andrepalmieri57 100%

Preach! What a gem of a film!

so happy any time i see the cast talking about it, its my favourite film, has been for a while. that's paaaatric baayby boy.

I got so bored in the first 15mins I couldn’t continue ...

His big blue blue eyes

@@laurenleshank good to know, thanks 👍

He never seems to be tired of talking about them, that makes me happy.

Without a doubt, the credit card scene is by far my favourite

love that movie. so intense. I also enjoyed North and the Good Son as a kid

@@RyanYoxo, my favorite scene was his first fight. All the Brits busting his balls for the way he was swinging fists

Gambit LeBeau yeh that happens just after the credit card scene hah

Great flic. I was waiting for them to being up that movie

I agree, 2 seasons and they just ended it with a giant cliffhanger.

i am elijah wood. ask me anything.

You spent the whole day watching a 30 minute video?

@@jamielawrence6301 Must be a frequent pauser.

You rewatched a 34 minute video for 24 hours straight with no breaks?

That's silly

That’s perfect 😂.

😂yes!

I've seen this comment before...

@@sharonstoned645 the comment on the most asked google questions

How unoriginal...

yes. wilfred is top tier television and still helps me through life

Yeah, Wilfred is a "at least once a year" kind of show (: I take something new each time.

I never watched it bc it was “too much” but I definitely need to see it.

That show helped me through such a horrible period of depression, such an underrated show. I empathized with the character so much.

Big facts big facts

❤️

One of my favourites as a kid, it was one of those films you discover late at night when you're not supposed to have your telly on 😂 I loved it so much

I was searching through the comments section for this lol. The faculty was a very good.movie.

The comment I was looking for. Such a fun movie that honestly put on a lot of actors

Breakthrough movie for Josh Hartnett. You don’t see much of him anymore…

Comfy

and flipper! i def had a crush on him as well when that came out :)

Same girl! I was waiting for them to talk about North

He was my first celebrity crush too!!! He is a great guy and very talented actor.

Hobbits have long life spans

He still has the one ring

Yes, he has. He's a little heavier now, he has some wrinkles around his jaw and eyes and he's got graying hair with a receding hairline. That's completely fine when you're 40.

@@niktve ?? That's not the only thing he said

Yes he has. But to be fair he isn't that old !!

The total opposite of what in The Hobbit happened. But I still like those movies.

@@pietroscarpa2384 well another way of seeing it is that since they had laid the foundation during TLOTR, they didn't need to do same for Hobbit as the world was similar

This is what makes the best art. Music included.

Was thinkin the exact same thing

The Faculity and Over the garden wall

The War with Kevin Costner.

That’s because his career wasn’t that successfull. He had one big role, and the rest was just secondary roles. He can’t afford not being humble and nice 😅

@@Chrysobubulle Or maybe he is just humble and nice

He's not dead. He'll make more movies.

Yes! I was waiting for the commentary on that one! I know time is tight but they missed several of my faves.

My mum bought the DVD because of the cover. Turns out it’s directed by Liev Schreiber, also quite a touching little film. I’ll never forget the shot of the wall of shoeboxes in his grandmothers(?) house.

Great comparison they’re both in that rare category of person

@@beeticket Ya good list, all great people, what’s a INFP?

Theres a movie called "the trust" him an nic cage and its brilliant but no ones seen it😫

omg I loved the Dirk Gently series too!! I've probably rewatched the show at least three times HAHAHAHA

I was so sad to not get a season 3

Winfred was too weird for me even though you could argue that Dirk Gently was weirder. I guess there's different kinds of weird and Dirk was more aligned with my kind.

@@Skane365 Wilfred was awesome

🔥🔥🔥

I thought he seemed too young. I loved the result of the movie, but when I read LOTR as a kid I imagined him to be more his age. Like Martin freeman as Bilbo

I love it when _really_ young kiddos can read complex stories. Even when they read stuff like Stephen King. Bet _you_ can't wait until she rereads some of these more complex stories when she's older? Just to see how her comprehension changes over the years. Once she's lived some social experiences to compare them to. It really is exciting to be a parent of a smart child. We get to see them grow & change so much. It's almost hard for us to keep up with them sometimes. Suggestion for you both to try? Put on a movie score playlist in the background _while_ you read. One of our favourites right now is composer, Hans Zimmer's 'Inception' & composers Wojciech Kilar & Michael Seifert, 'Bram Stoker's Dracula' (1992). These makes for a _very_ interesting thrill ride of an adventure. All while our noses are buried in our book. Happy reading to you both. Have a fantastic day, cheers!😁

​@@Digitalhunny True. I know she will get more out of the complex books when she is older. My wife is waiting for her to read her favorite book, 'Watership Down', until she is nine. Thanks for the advice. I will try playing music scores in the background. My daughter plays movie film scores all the time when she studies or draws, of her favorite movies like Lord of The Rings and Harry Potter.

I will never forget the charge of the Rohirrim. Still gives me chills to this day!

@@gsmith12 dude ur giving me chill rn just thinking about it “DEAAATHHHHH!!!”

@@sunshineTV3 facts! I love that speach Theodin gives soooo much! Just getting every single one of them hyped to die but Atleast kill as many Orcs as they can on their way out… so badass

I also wish they had talked about some of the roles he took as a child actor.

That's still how I think of him.

Yes! The good son is the first movie I think I ever saw him in! But he was also amazing in radio flyer, forever young and huck Finn

The Good Son and Radio Flyer both classics
