[LOTR clip from Prancing Pony with Frodo
& Strider]
[Matthew Hardy sitting opposite Elijah Wood,
Dominic Monaghan & Billy Boyd.]
Matthew: Your character {points at Elijah
and Elijah straightens up suddenly in shock}
Frodo -
Elijah: What have I done?
Matthew: - caused a bit of a ruckus in the
first pub that you three went drinking at
Elijah: {snort/laugh}
Matthew: {speaking to Dominic & Billy} -
and you were very tolerant, your two characters,
so I wondered if you had a real mate who was
causing so much trouble on a regular basis wouldn't
you, like, grab a hold of him and tell him to put
his head in?
Billy: No, because that's like Dom in real
life
Elijah: {leaning across Dominic to wiggle
finger at Billy} I think he wasn't, he causing the
trouble though, 'cause he mentioned my name:
Baggins.
Dominic: {coughs and starts laughing at the
same time}
Matthew: He did, yeah!
Elijah: 'Cause he... He caused the trouble.
Don't blame it on Frodo.
Dominic: {with a strangely hoarse/sexy voice
(he might be recovering from the cough } We had we
had a couple of, we had a couple of ...err, you
know hardcore nights in New Zealand. The kinda
group of us all went out. Ye know, 'cause if you
work hard and then you have one day off a week
every so often, everyone would just be like {puts
on even more hoarse voice} 'C'mon we're gonna go to
the pub!'
Billy: Especially the stuntmen!
Dominic: Yeah!
Billy: Never drink with a stuntman...
Dominic: So you're out with the stuntment, so
you're out with 25 of the hardest guys in the world
and they're buying you drinks and you just feel
invincible. And Elijah and I climbed the Bucket
fountain thing in Marlington(?) and we were right at
the top and, umm, being all nasty and silly. And
then we told Pete the next day and he wasn't happy,
was he?
Elijah: {muffling his laughter} No I think he
shed a tear.
Dominic: He was like 'That's part of my
childhood!'...
Matthew: Are we going to see this in 'The
Making of Lord of the Rings'?
Dominic: {still going with his Peter Jackson
impersonation} shouldn't be climbing that!
Elijah: We conquered it.
Dominic: No, it wasn't filmed.
Elijah: {laughing} We should do it on the
DVD!
Billy: Or maybe it was filmed... {raises
eyebrows knowingly}
- - - >Back to the interviewer's with Elijah Wood only now. < - - -
Elijah: So is this for the Comedy Channel?!
Matthew: {confirming} For the Comedy Channel.
Elijah: Wicked! Are you supposed to be funny?
Matthew: Uhh No.
Elijah: Oh okay.
Matthew: Yeah. But if I am it's a bonus. Now,
do you fear being followed by nerds at sci-fi
conventions for the rest of your life?
Elijah: Well, that is if I go to them –
if I go to the sci-fi conventions. But I actually went
to a comic convention earlier this year, and I thought
I could just go. Naively, I thought, I'll just go and
see some friends, some people from WETA digital, uhh...
WETA effects were there. So I went andvisited them and
you know, it wasn't easy. In fact every time I stopped
I got surrounded by a group of 'Lord of the Rings'
fans. Which was quite cool.
Matthew: Where was William Shatner?
Elijah: He wasn't there actually. {pauses} I
would never set foot in a Star Trek convention, now
that scares me to no end.
Matthew: Can we expect Elijah Wood, now that
he's a major movie star, to...
Elijah: {half laughing, half pained} I'm not
- I'm not a massive movie star don't say that, please!
Matthew: You may be a massive movie star. If
that happens, will you slip into drink, drugs and
debauchery?
Elijah: {smiles and shakes head} No. {laughs}
Matthew: Why not, man?!
Elijah: Oh, cause it's terribly boring!
Matthew: Is it?
Elijah: Yeah.
Matthew: What about all the chicks?
Elijah: Uhh If that's how you get chicks then
I'm going to be useless.
Matthew: Please, pass some of that stardom on
to me. I'll use it on your behalf. {leans over and
shakes hands}
Elijah: All right mate.
Matthew: Thank you very much!
Elijah: You're welcome.
Matthew: Elijah Wood. Comedy Channel.
Elijah: {to camera} Keep laughing Comedy
Channel.
Matthew: Any chance of you saying "Matthew
Hardy Rocks! I know because he said so."?
Elijah: Matthew Hardy Rocks! I know because
he frickin said so!
End.
Thanks HobbitAngel!!!
