What would you do? heh heh heh . . .

FrodoFriend · 01-03-2002, 01:21 AM

What would you do if you met the actor who plays your favorite LotR character walking on the street one day?
Here's my scenario:

Me: Frodo!! O great glory and splendour!! It's Frodo Baggins!
Elijah Wood: Oh well, it's nice to be recognized but actually my name's Elijah Wood.
Me: Frodo speaks!! Frodo speaks!! Speech, speech!
EW: Er, yes, well . . .
Me: But you're so tall!! Have you been drinking Ent-draughts??
EW: No, I'm not a hobbit!
Me: Not Ent-draughts after all, he's been into the old Winyards!! *starts pawing EW and attempting to remove his shirt* Can I see your mithril coat?
EW: Ahhh!! Help! Bodyguards! *tries to run*
Me: Oh no you don't! *lassos EW with an elven-rope* I have plans for you . . . *starts dragging EW to secret lair*
EW: Help!! Help!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SOMEONE HELP ME!!
Me: Mwa ha ha ha . . .

(Later, at secret lair)
EW: Orlando! Viggo! Billy! Dominic! Sean! She got you too?!
Guys: Elijah!
Me: Now . . . DANCE!!
Orlando: Please, can't we just give you our autographs?
Me: No! (irritably) Dance, slaves!!!
Guys: *sigh* Yes, O Mistress Supreme.
(Dancing . . . dancing . . .)
Me: Now . . . STRIP!!
Guys: *stare in horror*
Me: Just kidding. I wouldn't go that far.

Hee hee hee . . .

I see you've given this a lot more thought than I have.

Wayfarer · 01-03-2002, 06:18 PM

I don't know...

I, personally, think I would like meeting christopher lee most of all.

Feraway Hawkbriar · 01-03-2002, 06:41 PM

woohoo! *grabs a bucket O popcorn and joins in the waching of the forced dancing of the Fellowship of the rings. Then it dawns on her* DUUUUUDE Lord of the Rings meets Lord of the Dance! hell yeah! quik! all you starts dancing by only moving your feet below the ankles! do it ! do it noooow!

hehehe.

I think that if I met any one of the actors in real life I'd be like..well.very star stuck..y'know. The basic hey! its..YOU!..autograph..stalk them for the rest of the daay.. somehow get their number and call them at ungodly hours of the night. ..same-ol same ol.

...not really.

bropous · 01-03-2002, 07:21 PM

I think, above all, I'd like to meet Ian McKellum or Christopher Lee. Ian McKellum because he brought so much to the character of Gandalf, and Christopher Lee because he is an original Tolkien fan, who read the first book and anxiously awaited the publishing of The Two Towers and the Return of the King in the '50s.

Too bad you can't spell his name right bropous

bropous · 01-03-2002, 07:34 PM

Well, heck, Darth, all the more reason he should seek me out so he can correct my spelling!

FrodoFriend · 01-03-2002, 10:19 PM

Well, I don't know if that's what I'd really do if I met Elijah Wood . . . But I'd probably tell him that that's what I wanted to do, which would be nearly as bad and quite embarrassing.

Hmm . . . of course, stalking's always the nice, mild, alternative . . .

Renille · 01-03-2002, 11:10 PM

If I saw a cast member on the street, my eyes would just go all big, and I'd probably faint or something. Or else, I'd whisper...like I always do when I'm more than slightly nervous..."Hi." Farther than that, I wouldn't be able to go!

Kamyel · 01-04-2002, 12:20 AM

Hmmm, well I like just about everyone who was cast in the movie. But if I were to meet one of them I think I'd like to meet Kate Blanchet (Galadriel). However seconds after I make this post I'll change my mind. It'll be, "No! I want to meet Gandalf. No Frodo! No make that Legolas!" lol.

Of course the downside of seeing any of my favorite's in real life would be spoiling the picture I've created of them in my head.

Ñólendil · 01-04-2002, 02:52 AM

I don't think I'd say anything, those celebrities probably get bugged enough as it is.

bropous · 01-04-2002, 12:39 PM

"I don't think I'd say anything, those celebrities probably get bugged enough as it is."

Good point, Inoldonil.

Pailan · 01-04-2002, 01:17 PM

If the timing was right, I would go for an autograph and leave at that. However should I run into Liv Tyler... See the start of this thread and insert her name.

***Tessar*** · 01-07-2002, 12:19 AM

Me: oh my gossssssssssh! ahhhhhhhh!

Ian McKellen: what was that?

Me: *big eyes* ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......wow.......

IM: Are you ok? you look pale.

Me: *bigger eyes* ohhhhhhhhhhhh...ahhhhhhhhh....

Im: uhhh hello?

Me: are you really Gandalf?.......

IM*kindly smile as he sees that I am obviously one of those fans who loves lotr to the point of obsession* Yes I'm Gandalf...well I played the part of Gandalf.

Me: *dopey grin* you're even cooler than I thought...... I had a dream about you... you were pacing back and fourth and the moonlight shone on you're white hair....

IM: *starting to get worried* uhhh... thats nice, do you want an autograph or something
kid?

Me: *says in elvish* I am no mere mortal! I am an elf prince! hear me Gandalf the Grey!

IM: kid I'm really busy, if you want an autograph you can have one just ask.

Me: *rolls eyes* Yes, thanks, an autograph would be nice, *hands him a book* just sign right here next to radagasts name.

IM:*signs book* ok there you go kid have a nice day.

Me *sigh* uhhhh... you too.....

(later when I am staring in to my palantear)

Me: no he does not know who he is. our only hope now is arwin......*thinks of her*...never mined...*sob* all is lost!....*sob*

lol

sorry to all you liv fans.

Rána Eressëa · 01-07-2002, 07:09 PM
