Beloved by fans and critics alike, The Lord of the Rings films amassed a total of thirty Oscar nominations. To date, The Return of the King stands triumphant with eleven Academy Awards—a record that’s shared with other films like Ben- Hur and Titanic.

Recently, our team looked at some of the deleted scenes and shocking mistakes from the franchise, along with some false facts which are bound to raise some eyebrows. We’ve also rounded up some little- known trivia about Éowyn of Rohan, Saruman the White, and Boromir.

Behind the Scenes Photos That Change Everything. Evil Frodo. Out of all of the original characters from the Lord of the Rings and the nine members of the fellowship, it’s clear that Frodo Baggins must endure the heaviest burden of them all.

Tasked with the responsibility for carrying the One Ring and dealing with the immense pressure from the quest to destroy it, Frodo undergoes a huge transformation during his journey. In this photo, actor Elijah Wood definitely has the terrifying look down pat! With a seriously gnarly set of details, including colored contacts, grimy fingernails, and a wild set of hair, this look is pretty chilling. Wood certainly looks like he’s a far cry from those carefree days in the Shire, when Frodo Baggins was perfectly content to read a book out in the woods.

Orlando Bloom’s blue contact lenses and blonde wig. Last December, actor Orlando Bloom posted some of his reflections on being part of The Lord of the Rings cast over the years. December 1. 9, 2. The Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of The Ring. Interestingly enough, the film was one of the first projects Bloom landed when he was fresh out of school – it was only two days after finishing up his program at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, and then he landed his role as Legolas Greenleaf in The Lord of the Rings franchise. On his Instagram, Bloom posted a collage featuring the makeup and prosthetics needed to complete his transformation into an Elf.

One photo shows his pointed ear prosthetics, while two others reveal the bright blue contact lenses Bloom donned for his role. In the bottom corner, another image shows off Bloom, all smiles, with his wig on. Crazy Hobbit Foot Prosthetics. Orlando Bloom wasn’t the only actor who needed some serious prosthetics for his role. Actors Sean Astin, Billy Boyd, Dominic Monaghan, and Elijah Wood all needed a specific set of makeup and prosthetics for their roles as Hobbits of the Shire. According to the Extended Edition of The Fellowship of the Ring DVD, the main hobbit actors needed to wake up much earlier than the rest of the cast, in order to get a head start on their detailed makeup and prosthetics.

After over a decade since the release of director Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings, here is a collection of must-see behind the scenes photos.

Each actor needed to be set with a pair of hairy Hobbit feet, along with makeup and setting their signature wigs. The entire process took about an hour and a half every morning, and many times, the prosthetic feet would need to be glued on again later in the day. Viggo Mortensen kissing Billy Boyd. Actor Viggo Mortensen, who played the enigmatic Aragorn in the Lord of the Rings franchise, couldn’t keep his hands to himself during the filming process. Amusingly enough, actor Billy Boyd (Peregrin Took) relayed some of his anecdotes in the Cameras in Middle- earth documentary found on the Extended Edition of the Return of the King DVD, Mortensen helped inspire a crucial scene towards the ending of the film. When actor Sean Astin, who plays Sam Gamgee, and Sarah Mc. Leod, who portrayed Rosie Cotton, were filming their wedding scene, Mortensen decided to nudge things along in his very own way.

On the DVD, Mortensen explains that Astin was having a little bit of trouble with the scene, and Mortensen had an epiphany. After running over to Billy Boyd’s trailer to wake him up, Mortensen surprised Boyd with a big kiss on the mouth. In the documentary, Boyd said, “Viggo grabs me and kisses me hard on the mouth.

I mean like, I’ve never been kissed from man nor woman and…by god. I saw stars and I think I fell in love for a split second and then I felt a bit sick.”1. Ian Holm and the Bilbo puppet. In one of the more hair- raising scenes from The Fellowship of the Ring, Bilbo Baggins succumbs to an uncontrollable force of evil. In a sentimental sequence, Bilbo gifts his nephew a protective mithril shirt, with the intention of helping to protect Frodo on his journey. When Frodo decides to change into it, the One Ring catches Bilbo’s eye, and he becomes possessed with rage.

Frodo flinches and quickly draws away from his uncle, who lashes out at Frodo after seeing the one ring in Rivendell. The scene might be short, but definitely made a long lasting impression on viewers. In a behind the scenes image from New Line Cinema, actor Ian Holm is shown with a menacing grin, and lurking behind him is the puppet used to film the scene. Talk about creepy AF!
