"Cut, Elrond is giggling in the scene"

I have suuuuch a huge crush on him

Lol I love it! I've always loved those behind the scenes stories the lotr cast would share. I can't wait to hear more stories from the filming of the Hobbit.

BTW, he is Figwit - not "Lindir".

Figwit forever ♥

i was waiting to see if the mention of "figwit" would show up

I don't even know why they tried to give him a real name. The whole point of his role in the later movie was because people randomly noticed him and gave him this stupid name. Just role with it!

Yeah, but Lindir is an elf in LotR... whose name has to do with 'singing'. So that's rather fitting...?

I stopped being friends with a guy who cancelled on me to see FOTC. He was my ride and then I couldn't go either.
