Gandalf: From White Robe Wizard to Rainbow Ambassador.
When it comes to the most influential and popular character in the Lord of the Rings series, it has to be Gandalf. This wizard, who has risen from gray to white, is the hope and light of Middle-earth. He is not only a mentor and protector of Frodo and the other Fellowship of the Ring, but also a leader and warrior against the dark forces. His sentence "you shall not pass" shook the hearts of countless audiences.
Gandalf is played by the famous British actor Ian McKellen, who was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for this role and is the only actor in the Lord of the Rings franchise to be nominated for an Oscar. His acting skills and aura brought the character of Gandalf to life, which was praised by audiences and critics alike.
But you know what?Ian McKellen is completely different from Gandalf's image in real life. He is an openly gay man and an active supporter and advocate for the LGBTQ+ community. He often participates in various "rainbow" events and uses his influence to advocate for gay rights.
He is also an artist who loves ** and theater, and has performed the ending song for "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies", and has also performed classic plays such as "Hamlet" on stage.
Ian McKellen is now 82 years old, but he is still active in the film industry, constantly challenging his acting skills and roles. He once said that there is no role in the world that he is not willing to play, he just wants to be a happy actor. His attitude and values in life make us have to admire and admire.
Legolas: From Elven Prince to Pirate Captain
If you were to rank the characters in the Lord of the Rings series in order of beauty, Legolas, the elven prince played by British actor Orlando Bloom, would probably be in the top three on all the charts, and possibly the top in most of them. His blonde hair and blue eyes, his light posture, and his magic arrow skills have made countless audiences fall in love with him.
Orlando Bloom rose to fame with the role of Legolas and became one of the most important roles of his career. After the "Lord of the Rings" series, he ushered in another peak of his career - in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, he played the role of the little blacksmith Will Turner, proving that good-looking people are not only beautiful in the golden age, but also in brown hair.
But you know what?Orlando Bloom is also very different from Legolas's image in real life. He is an adventurous and athletic man who has been injured many times in activities such as skydiving, skiing, motorcycling, etc. He is also a person who loves ** and art, has had romances with Katy Perry and many other stars, and now has a son with supermodel Miranda Kerr. His private life is often followed and criticized, and he is also subject to controversy and criticism.
Orlando Bloom is now 44 years old, but he still maintains a good figure and good looks. He has starred in a number of movies and TV series in recent years, but none of them have had much repercussions and impact. His acting career seems to have fallen into a trough and stagnation, which makes us wonder if he has lost the shine and charm of the past.
Bilbo Baggins: From Hobbit to Cyborg.
When it comes to the most legendary character in the Lord of the Rings series, it has to be Bilbo Baggins. This brave hobbit once went through many hardships in the "Hobbit" series to find the lost Lord of the Rings and became the first owner of the Lord of the Rings. The story of his adventures, which inspired his nephew Frodo, also started the story of the Lord of the Rings series.
Playing Bilbo Baggins is British actor Ian Holm, who plays the elderly Bilbo in the Lord of the Rings series**, while in the Hobbit series, he stars the young Bilbo through digital technology. His acting skills and expressions make the character of Bilbo full of wisdom and humor, and also make us feel his obsession and pain with the Lord of the Rings.
But you know what?Ian Holm is also in great contrast with Bilbo's image in real life. He is a multi-talented actor who has played important roles in many classic films**, such as Dr. Andrew Ash in "Alien", Magneto in "X-Men", Father Priest in "The Fifth Element", etc. His interpretation style is changeable, from gentle and kind to cunning, from human to cyborg, from realistic to sci-fi, he can do anything.
Ian Holm passed away on June 19, 2020, at the age of 88. The news of his death has left fans and peers around the world saddened and regretted. His posthumous work is an animated film called The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, in which he voices the elderly Bilbo. His voice and image will remain in our hearts forever.
Frodo Baggins: From Lord of the Rings to Professor.
When it comes to the most iconic and protagonist aura character in the Lord of the Rings series, it is, of course, Frodo Baggins. The brave hobbit took on the task of destroying the Lord of the Rings and led the other eight Fellow Fellows on a journey full of hardships and dangers. His will and sacrifice, which saved Middle-earth from the reign of darkness, also moved and admired us.
Playing Frodo is American actor Elijah Wood, who has shown Frodo's innocence and strength in the Lord of the Rings series, and has also made himself an internationally renowned star.
After the Lord of the Rings series, he starred in a number of different types of movies and TV series, such as Sin City, Wilfred, Jack the Ripper, etc., showing his diversity and challenge.
But you know what?Elijah Wood's image is also very different from Frodo's in real life. He is a lover of literature and has worked with bands and has written reviews for books and magazines. He is also a passionate educator and philanthropist, having donated and promoted to a number of charities and educational projects. He is also a person who loves games and anime, and has used to dub and produce for some games and anime.
Elijah Wood is now 40 years old, but he still looks good and looks good. He has continued to star in a number of movies and TV series in recent years, but none of them have much influence and popularity.
His acting career doesn't seem to have much progress and breakthroughs, which makes us wonder if he still has more potential and possibilities.
