Gimli concerned about Legolas’ post-LOTR life

Posted by andPOP Staff on October 18th, 2005

The Fellowship has parted ways, but Gimli is still looking out for Legolas.

MTV News reports that Lord of the Rings actor John Rhys-Davies has expressed concern about his former co-star Orlando Bloom’s career choices. Rhys-Davies said that films such as Troy and Kingdom of Heaven are damaging to his elven friend, although he admitted that Bloom’s not sailing on “an unpleasant boat.”

“What stroke of genius does it take to take young Orlando, who has a huge and powerful fanbase in the 8 to 18 female base worldwide… and put him in a film that is R-rated, so that his fans can’t get in to see it?” Rhys-Davies asked.

“Obviously, his managers are making a bucket of money out of him, but they’re not looking after him, and they’re not looking after his long-term interests. And that annoys me intensely. He’s hugely, badly managed. I look at Orlando’s career and say, ‘Oh, God.’ ”

There may even be some vestigial Gimli-Legolas friendly competition going on, as Rhys-Davies said, “Don’t imagine that just because you played the elf in Lord of the Rings you can carry a film like Kingdom of Heaven.”

Rhys-Davies really should worry more about himself. After he laid down Gimli’s axe, he’s appeared in The Princess Diaries 2 and an assortment of indies, made-for-TV films and straight-to-DVD releases. He’s just finished filming Uwe Boll’s Dungeon Siege. UWE BOLL, the guy who made Alone in the Dark.

“I had to take anything to just keep working,” Rhys-Davies explained. “In Hollywood, if you get one part in 10 years that’s worthwhile, you’re lucky.”

On the other hand, Rhys-Davies praised the career choices of Elijah Wood, aka Frodo. Since his employment as the Ringbearer ended, Wood has appeared in such critically acclaimed films as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Sin City and most recently, Everything is Illuminated.

“He’s a different lad,” Rhys-Davies said of Wood. “He’s always going to be a rather quirky character actor with a golden soul.”

Aww.
