Faces of Middle-Earth
 
Have you ever encountered people whose faces resemble Tolkien's characters?

I know a female version of Frodo (really, a copy), and also a guy who looks so much like Legolas, except he's got dark hair. Anything else?

A Gimli clone works at my cinema and I know a guy who looks like Aragorn. And Boromir lives next door. I look like Gollum and Eomer's love child.

I know a Saruman who lives down the street... and his daugther looks like a cross between Gollum and Smaug! Her boyfriend (who works at the cinema) looks like Aragorn, but much younger.

I look like Arwen and I have a cousin who looks like Gollum. Well actually I look like a mix of Arwen and Galadriel, but more Arwenish. At my school there was a guy who looked like Frodo, guy who looked like Legolas, and a guy who looked like Sam!

A friend of mine knows a guy who is a carbon copy of Frodo (Elijah Wood). He even sounds like him! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

My Grandmother always tells me that I look like Arwen, and I always reply,"No! Arwen's evil and she's after the Ring!" and then run away screaming.

I could have sworn Ian Mckellen was standing behind me in the supermarket line. . . This guy looked exactly like him without the prosthetic nose and long hair and wizard gear. . . But it wasn't cos he looked at me strangely when i gaped at him. . .!! lol

Meela 07-24-2003 06:04 AM

I would kill to be standing next to Ian, even if it is just a lookalike. I was stuck behind a David Wenham clone for 5 minutes once (not complaining though... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]). And I saw Tolkien in the street.

I have a colleque, who is sitting next to me this very moment, who looks like Gollum.
He would probably kill me if he knew I was typing this right now, but on the other hand, I'm sure he doesn't even have a clew who Gollem is... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Hmmm there's a Gandalf look alike at archery (Along with random fit archer... **Drools**) And apparently I look like Sam, but with long hair so I guess I look more like Elanor, which is freakish coz thats my name (No, really)

Lyta_Underhill 07-24-2003 10:33 PM

I saw Gimli driving a pickup truck in Fayetteville, Tennessee. No, really! And then I saw him again! And again! And again! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Cheers,
Lyta

P.S. And my husband looks like Aragorn when he doesn't shave and Boromir when he does! (heh heh...not really! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] )

My grandad looks like Beorn in the Hobbit, I know a girl who has eyes exactly like Frodo's (Elijah Wood's) and I saw someone who looked a copy of Aragorn on a trip to Switzerland.

And I know this busdriver who reminds me of Saruman [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

My ex-manager at BK looks freakily like Elijah Wood...though I'd hope EW isn't that wierd.

dancing spawn of ungoliant 07-25-2003 12:49 PM

There's one boy at my school who looks just like Elijah Wood as Frodo(he's taller though). He has blackish curly hair and his eyes are just like Elijah's. Even a friend of mine who has seen FotR and tTT only once and isn't a LotR fan said to me:"look, that guy is Frodo!"

Princess*Buttercup*Of*Rohan 07-25-2003 01:26 PM

Someone in my school looks *just* like Borimir and one day he was walking with me and my friends and I knew his real name but accidently said Hey Borimir! got some funny looks from my friends but he laughed and told me i could call him that.

I always thought that Sam Roberts (singer) looks like a mix between Boromir and Aragorn, but it's probably just me....
