There's a guy at my school, Chris, who almost looks exactly like Elijah/Frodo. Same eyes, same hair... pretty scary. (he's a little guy, too, so that makes him look like a hobbit even more)

"Hi Fro... I mean, Chris!"

I was just wondering, does anyone else have friends or family who look like the LotR-cast? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

(ooh, if I wrote anything wrong, yes I'm Dutch [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img], please correct me)

LePetitChoux · 02-18-2003, 07:27 AM

Nope, nothing wrong.

It's just that the topic is a repeat one, but then again that other one wasn't answered on a lot, so maybe it is OK for you to keep this... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

eleanor_niphredil · 02-18-2003, 07:38 AM

heck, you spell better than me, and I'm english! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Someone that I know looks exactly like Frodo too! And yes, he is small. It is kind of freaky when he looks at you and you see Frodo. funny, he knows nothing about LOTR, and is compleatly oblivious to the lookalikeness.

Sorry about that.

I wasn't quite sure about the "does anyone else have friends or family who look like the LotR-cast?"
Anyway, thanks [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

So there are more Frodo's in the world! That means there is a bigger chance for me to marry one!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

FRODO LIVES!

Merri · 02-18-2003, 10:00 AM

I met someone at camp who looks exactly like Elijah Wood as Frodo (he must be your Chris's long lost twin!).

This guy- Tony, has the mop of brown curly hair (and it's not even a wig!), Elijah Wood eyes, and big feet. He even moves like Elijah Wood . . . I mean, how much more hobbity can you get? Of course, he's not exactly 3"11, but still . . .

Finnguala · 02-18-2003, 10:02 AM

Lol, maybe it is Chris' twin brother, who knows... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Tar-Palantir · 02-18-2003, 10:10 AM

Every time I see this one person, I swear to you I almost blurt out Bilbo every time! I have to choke it back, it's uncanny. The height, the face, the hair, the age (of bag-end Bilbo), even the voice!!! Twilight zone stuff.

I don't know him that well, so I haven't given him a ribbing about it, I just say "Have you seen LotR?" - He says, "yeah why?" but I just can't tell him (it might be insulting) and I just about burst from laughing and him not getting the joke.
[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Finnguala · 02-18-2003, 10:23 AM

Doesn't he know he looks like Bilbo? I mean, you recognize your own picture when you see it. (At least I do [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]) Too bad you can't ask it...

Meela · 02-18-2003, 11:14 AM

i am a mixture of eowyn, eomer, theoden, theodred, gamling, boromir, faramir, grima, gollum, and legolas rolled into one

theres a guy at the local cinema who is basically Gimli in his day job, and treebeard lives in our back garden

Merri · 02-18-2003, 01:19 PM

Meela- Treebeard lives in your garden? Can I come and visit? PLEASE? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

There's another guy at my school I forgot to mention. He looks just like Sam . . . er, Sean Astin as Sam, except that he's Asian.

Meela · 02-18-2003, 03:33 PM

sure, come along [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] theres probably a whole load of ents down there! probably where the entwives got to

Ithaeliel · 02-18-2003, 05:21 PM

Hmm, the lead singer from The Strokes looks a lot like Elijah Wood, I think... and it's really ironic that Elijah is a fan of the band.

Rynoah, the Overly-Happy · 02-18-2003, 07:50 PM

I do, actually. My brother-in-law's brother (I guess that'd be my brother-in-law still, but to avoid confusion...) reminds me of Sean Bean and Dominic Monahgan at the same time. It's scary.

Faye Took · 02-18-2003, 10:15 PM

Well my boyfriend looks like Dominic and Elijah mixed. He has the bright blue eyes that Elijah and Dom have, he has the ears that stick out, and the hair! He's a surfer too! Him and Dom have a lot in common! It's quiet amusing! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Raefindel · 02-18-2003, 11:36 PM

I have a family member who looks like Bilbo.

Rochelle · 02-19-2003, 12:03 AM

Unfortunately I know of no one who looks like anyone from LotR. However, if you're related to a Legolas, Boromir, Aragorn or Elijah lookalike gimme' a holler! *hehe*

doug*platypus · 02-19-2003, 05:35 AM

A mate of mine has (no lies) been mistaken for Peter Jackson in Wellington several times before.

eleanor_niphredil · 02-19-2003, 06:27 AM

I really hope that this mate of yours in not female! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

A man that my dad knows looks like the cartoon version of Bilbo! Seriously, his feet are like a ducks, and hairy!

Manardariel · 02-19-2003, 06:40 AM

This 7th grader at my school lookes a LOT like Miranda Otto, when she stares. That is soooo scary, especially as she always has those eyes... [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
And then there´s this person in a shapoo-add that always SERIOUSLY reminds me of Orlando- no kidding. That´s even scarier, sice that person´s a GIRL! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Merri · 02-19-2003, 07:43 AM

Faye, does your boyfriend have any brothers? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

**The Saucepan Man** · 02-19-2003, 08:03 AM

There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvish ...

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Amanruthiel · 02-19-2003, 08:38 AM

My best friend looks like Eowyn, and funnily enough her husband looks like Aragorn - no kidding. He works as a Robin Hood in Nottingham, and due to his outfit for work (very rangerish due to playing Robin Hood) he is often being called Strider and Aragorn by visitors from abroad.

My friend has the picture of Eowyn and Aragorn on her computer desktop and a colleague said she was really vain having a picture of her and her husband!

Someone in my school looks a little like Figwit! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Finnguala · 02-20-2003, 09:38 AM

Figwit?? [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img] [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

eleanor_niphredil · 02-20-2003, 02:41 PM

This is Figwit
http://www.figwitlives.net/

He is one of the elves at the Council of Elrond. It stands for "Frodo is grea...Who Is THAT!"

Faye Took · 02-20-2003, 07:13 PM

Well yes Merri, he actually does. But he's only about 10 months old. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Finnguala · 02-21-2003, 11:00 AM

LOL!! That Figwit thingy is FUNNY!!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Peri · 02-21-2003, 11:16 AM

LOL! Well, I have a friend who wants to be Legolas. And he could too. He has blonde hair, he's very tall and thin, and has an attractive face. Now he has everyone at school calling him The Prince of Mirkwood. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

eleanor_niphredil · 02-21-2003, 01:42 PM

The Prince of Mirkwood would get a good long "huh?" From everyone I know. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Finnguala · 02-22-2003, 05:59 AM

Hehe, in his dreams I suppose. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

eleanor_niphredil · 02-22-2003, 06:01 AM

In OUR dreams!

Firondoiel · 02-22-2003, 01:54 PM

My sister has seen a guy at college who looks a whole lot like Elijah Wood. He works in the music library on campus and when ever I visit my sister we go looking for him but he's NEVER there!!!! [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] My sister's roommate has seen him and agrees that he looks a whole lot like our beloved Elijah. There are also two guys at my sister's college that look like Merry and Pippin from the back. They do! I've seen them. Their hair color and styles are just like Merry and Pippin's!! They're always with each other too just like our dear hobbits!
