”Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.”

You ever have one of those days where you wish you could just rip your feet off at the ankles because they’re just a-howling? Sure, you’d be left with bloody stumps and that would probably suck, but maybe the pain would be less? Ok then. If removable feet are your thing, then you might have been a Hobbit in a previous fictional life. It would seem that the Hobbit feet the actors wore during filming could not be removed at the end of the day without damaging them. Hence, a special oven was running almost 24 hours a day ‘cooking’ Hobbit feet so the actors would have a new pair for every day of filming. A new pair of feet each day? Sounds like a little piece of Heaven. Even if they are bumpy, fat Hobbit feet.

Did you know that Christopher Lee was the first person cast in the trilogy due in large part to his extensive knowledge of the books. He is also the only cast member to have met J.R.R Tolkien (the author) and was considered to be the resident expert of the material on the set.
