He's my second cousin, once removed on his mother's side, and my fourth cousin twice removed on my father's side." The ridiculous string of family connections just drives home the point that, whether on paper or the silver screen, Hobbits can't get enough of their family history. At one point in the film version of The Fellowship of the Ring, while Frodo, Sam, and Merry lie low in the Prancing Pony at Bree, Pippin can be heard in the background saying, "Baggins? Sure I know a Baggins. Tolkien's commitment to Hobbit breeding was so intense that the author even provides an utterly thorough breakdown of genealogies for the Bagginses, Tooks, and Brandybucks, as well as the prestigiously titled "Longfather-Tree of Master Samwise" at the end of The Return of the King.Ī reflection of this dedication to family history also finds its way into the movies in one scene, in particular. Wood made his film debut with a small part in Back to the Future Part II (1989). He is best known for his portrayal of Frodo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings film trilogy (20012003) and The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012). Once again, we turn to the book The Fellowship of the Ring to see Tolkien declare that "hobbits have a passion for family history" and are willing to sit and listen to genealogical breakdowns for hours on end. Elijah Jordan Wood (born January 28, 1981) is an American actor and producer. All of these factors add up to provide a convincing argument (on the surface, at least) that Bilbo and Frodo are uncle and nephew, respectively, even though it's clearly stated in the source material that they are cousins. In addition, the presence of a full-grown Merry and Pippin at Bilbo's 111th birthday party confuses the fact that, in the books, there's a 17-year gap between the party and Frodo leaving the shire at the age of 50. In Peter Jackson's trilogy of Lord of the Rings films, Bilbo clearly comes across as Frodo's uncle. To top it all off, cinematic adaptations have a way of muddying up the waters by skipping over the little details and explanations like explaining family relationships. On top of that, The Fellowship of the Ring also states that "When Bilbo was ninety-nine he adopted Frodo as his heir." This complicates the relationship even further by giving it a father-son vibe, as well. This automatically establishes a "kindly old uncle" vibe between the two. She became the mother of Frodo Gardner, Elanor, Rose, Merry, Pippin, Goldilocks, Hamfast, Daisy, Primrose, Bilbo, Ruby, Robin, and Tolman (Tom). She wedded Samwise Gamgee, renowned companion of Frodo Baggins in the quest of the One Ring. After inheriting the One Ring from his cousin Bilbo Baggins, Frodo bravely volunteers to take it to Mordor to be destroyed. Sarah McLeod Rose Cotton, nicknamed Rosie, was a hobbit of the Shire. Fellowship was released in 2001 and went on to gross more than $870 million at the worldwide box office.The first factor is the age difference. Wood played a hobbit named Frodo in 'The Lord of the Rings' films. He was also given a pair of prosthetic "hobbit feet" of the type worn during filming.
Before the cast left the country, Jackson gave Wood two gifts: one of the One Ring props used on the set and Sting, Frodo's sword. The Lord of the Rings trilogy was filmed in New Zealand, in a process taking more than one year for principal photography alone, with pick-up shots occurring annually for the next four years. This gave Wood top billing as Baggins, alongside a cast that included Ian McKellen, Liv Tyler, Orlando Bloom, Cate Blanchett, Christopher Lee, Miranda Otto, Sean Bean, Sean Astin, Billy Boyd, Dominic Monaghan, Viggo Mortensen, and John Rhys-Davies. Wood was cast as Frodo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, the first installment of director Peter Jackson's adaptation of J. He is best known for his portrayal of Frodo Baggins in the Lord of the Rings film trilogy (2001–2003) and in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012).
