- Elijah Wood has been in more than 60 films over the course of his more than 30-year acting career-from Academy Award-winning indies, to one of the highest-grossing box office film franchises of all time in Lord of the Rings. His latest project is No Man of God, which is set to release in theaters and On Demand August 27th. But how is he with spicy food? An impromptu tasting at the Complex offices last year didn't bode well, but now Elijah is back for revenge in the Season 15 finale. Watch as he takes on the wings of death and discusses Lord of the Rings lore, Austin food favorites, and the differences between horror films and video games. Thanks for another great season, spice lords!

He completed his journey. He is the Lord of the Wing.
Ha ! I see what you did there , very clever ...

Underrated comment
Imagine
One wing to hurt them all
Frodo going to be crying about a different ring after this one.
😂😂😅
Very good, my friend!
Hahahaah perfect
I can’t stop laughing at this comment!
Best comment
I never realized how articulate and interesting he is - a pleasure to watch and listen.
I'm showing my age here, but he reminds me of Tony Randall. Just an authentic gentleman.
I’ve also always thought that Elijah is a very interesting and unique human being
@@thebuddyholly I can recommend a video with him called Movie Fights - its a few years old but gives a great glimpse into his thinking around movie creation
Totally 😊
I love when the guests are pleasantly surprised and impressed with the questions being asked 14:15
There are about 8 different 20+ minute compilations of guests just being impressed with Sean's questions
@xerowon3490 i mean he's a great interviewer lol, he kinda has to be tbf
5:16
Elijah Wood just seems like the nicest dude. Like his fame doesn't phase him, he's enjoying the ride of life
word
Well it almost swallowed him alive IIRC. He was severely depressed after LoTR
Not too many child actors grow up to be this stable. It takes a humble person to navigate through all the traps of being famous, especially when you're starting off as a kid.
Yeah, he strikes me as the type of guy to forget that he’s famous
Commenting before watching.
Classy.
Elijah is so well spoken and articulate, hearing him speak just feels satisfying
Absolutely. Would be a pleasure to meet him.
and then the bomb destroys his eloquence. Love it.
@@Snackery24 As it always does lmao
Was just thinking exactly that!
Yeah man.. Really.. He speaks eloquently with ease.. No uhs or buts or silences to gather thoughts or anything like that..Its as if he memorized all the things he was going to say.. Fascinating
I'm convinced LOTR is what it is, not just bc they're epic films based on epic books, but all the actors are like Elijah. Just cool smart dudes and chicks that created the best environment for one another to do their best. They are all comfortable with who they are and love to have fun. Loved this episode, you rock Elijah.
Because the entire country helped make the films
New Zealand was such an important factor, like the other commenter said.
But yeah, the cast definitely made the series very "generational". brings back so many memories to me as an audience, too, because of the actors' genuine camaraderie. I am 38 now and Peter Jackson's LOTR will forever be so nostalgically ethereal.
as someone who watches Over The Garden Wall every fall, I loved hearing him talk about how he especially loves when fans mention it. I also loved that, as per usual, Sean did his research -- but he still set up this opportunity for Elijah to mention other projects that are/were special to him!
Elijah's one of the best guests that's been on this show. He's genuinely excited to be there, he responds to questions enthusiastically and in depth and he even reviews the hot sauces as he tries them. Hats off.
I totally agree. He did an amazing job! Sometimes guests either complain too much or do the interview for the matter for getting it done. He did justice
some people just develop a bad attitude working the same job for too long. these actors are like "you want me to eat hot wings for free but i have to answer non-invasive questions about my career?" always a good idea in life to take a step back and look at where you are vs your ancestors who didn't even discover fire yet, some people want to me more like that and some want less.
Guy's like a kid at X-Mas - it was a delight to watch
He is incredibly, vividly descriptive of what he's feeling, tasting, and suffering through. It's a testament to how his brain functions, that he can continue to do that while eating all these wings.
Perhaps for me, most impressive as compared to other guests, is that he seems to be genuinely hungry during this interview. He eats most of the meat from the majority of the wings. Everyone else, by and large, only takes a bit or sometimes two - other than Paul Rudd, who ate the entirety of every one of his cauliflower wings.
Word, Elijhah , Paul rudd , or Shia Lebouf is my top 3 favorites on this show so far,
The fact you didn’t call this “Lord of the Wings” is a tragedy
Top comment right here
lmao
underrated comment
Spice Lord of the Wings 😂 Yess! Elijah Wood masterfully handled the spice 🌶
Fact
I think Elijah Wood was the last person on earth I was expecting to pull a 50 cent reference (6:21 - 6:27) in a Hot Ones interview.
Props to what seems to be a curious mind.
lol it made me giggle when he said it. The fact that that’s the exact thing that came to his mind in the moment is somehow even funnier. I don’t think I’ve ever spent one second imagining his private life, but now I want to imagine him blasting early 2000’s hip hop driving around town. Hahaha
That and the Kanye 45 he said he bought of washes in the blood. Would've never imagined but love him even more now.
Totally caught me off guard, I did one of those bark laughs
Well, he played in a Beastie Boys music videos so that's not so surprising. :)
I lost it when he said "the capillaries in my face are on fire". So genuine.
He lives in my town, most locals know where his house is. Its been dubbed "frodos house" people leave him alone. Its a plain jane regular house. Very humble guy.
That's wonderful to hear!
That sounds great. I respect those people.
I find that hard to believe. I'd be surprised if no less than a dozen people knocked on his door a day, Sackville-Baggins style. 😁
I mean, less. Not "no less".
Typical Hobbits, keeping to themselves
Pay attention to how thoughtful all of Elijah's words are. He almost never uses filler words and always sounds so well-spoken and intentional. You love to see it!
Yes very intentional. He definitely did good on the writing portion on the SAT’s lol
He is very articulate and honestly it is refreshing to hear someone like him speak. Lots of people today have made language so lazy and dumbed down that it's a shame. They blame the school system too...which now i get cuz they don't even teach cursive anymore...but not so long ago they taught english and language arts thoroughly.
And then he drops an F Bomb and you can't help but laugh your ass off at Frodo swearing.
@@grekygrek Dude what was the point in taking this compliment and turning it into something completely negative..
Best guest ever. Very observant 💍
It’s very cool to see how Hot Ones has grown from a small internet show to an interview that A-list celebs know about and genuinely want to be on.
A friend of mine got a cameo from him a few years ago which was supposed to be maybe a minute or less and Elijah ended up going on for like 5 minutes congratulating them on their move to Norway and and dishing out awesome facts about the country. Such an amazing guy.
Elijah wood looks like the most British person ever that’s not British
He doesn't have fucked up teeth though.
@@comradeeverclear4063 nor is he morbidly obese, guess we’re both as surprised
@@ciaranjamiesonfamily-frien5144 cry
I don't know, I think that goes to James Cromwell, the farmer from Babe.
@@ciaranjamiesonfamily-frien5144 Doesn't the UK have obesity rates on par with the US?
WHY IS ELIJAH SO FUCKING FANTASTIC!? He's so happy and polite and kind, and just amazing!!
Creepy, maybe he is Kevin?
Seriously, he's such a likable guy. Humble as hell and seems to be a joy to be around.
youd never say hes from america right crazy
my real name is Elijah
fax
Elijah is hands down the best guest this show has had. Sean appears to be suffering and struggling more and Elijah continues to be well-spoken and thoughtful in his answers. What a champion!!
This has to be one of the best interviews so far. Sometimes there’s a guest I’m hyped to see and their personality just falls flat. Elijah brought it, he is a beautiful human being.
Elijah would be literally dying and say “you know what’s fascinating, I can actually feel my soul leaving my body and my heart slowing down”
This deserves more likes lololol
@@rediscoverNewark it does!!
😂😂😂
"You know what's fascinating is I can literally feel my stomach contents touch my spine as you're punching me. That's really interesting."
😂
20 years later, it still shines why he's the perfect Frodo. What a nice guy
Absolutely! Match made in Middle-earth
He did a great job but one thing that nags me is that compared to the books movie frodo came of as complaining although I feel like that was the directors doing
@@stankobarabata2406 I’m referring to the books my friend as he was in the rings proximity for 6 years before his adventure started. I fully understand what the ring could or would do and how it affects someone. It’s just a preference he just came off as a bit complaining to me compared to the books
@@riven5677 Condensation. You feel this way because the only way that the Lord of the Rings could be properly adapted to tell effectively the story needing to be told was to compress a great deal of time, traits, behaviors, Etc into a much shorter length of time or a much more stark relief
@@riven5677 I think it's because in the books Frodo is pretty self-assured. It makes for better viewing when there is more of a internal struggle. Honestly I liked the movie because the ring is supposed to be tearing him apart and the book half the time he's just tired but you don't get the true struggle.
Elijah's "na zdrowie" caught of guard, as I'am polish :D He is so fun and genuine. The best interviewer ever!
yeap. I speak russian and it also made me smile ))
Oh, man. I'm a huge fan of Elijah.
I'm surprised nobody ever mentions Green Street Hooligans. One of his more underrated films that nobody talks about.
I mean, even as a kid he was a great actor, like in The Good Son along side Macaulay Culkin.
What a great episode. Thanks so much!!
I was thinking the same thing. I love Green Street Hooligans. It might be my favorite movie from Elijah.
I feel you! I'm a huge fan of his because of Dirk Gently's holistic detective agency, I love him as Todd so much, it's a pity no one really talks about that show within the mainstream public, it truly deserved better
That film would be great if it wasn’t rendered utterly unwatchable by Charlie Hunnam doing the most offensively bad English accent I’ve ever heard
@@arcticfoxinsox just let people enjoy things, please.
You don't have to trash things other people enjoy. That doesn't make you better, smarter, more sophisticated or anything.
It's a pointless edgelord move.
Now, go out there and actually enjoy something instead of grinching on other peoples' joys.
Happy new year.
@@OmegaBlack999 Jesus, it was said light heartedly. As an English person, I think I’m allowed to say when someone’s impression of us is bad. I even said the film would otherwise be great. You’re being very dramatic.
The fact this guy STILL loves talking about Lord of Rings after all this time, all these interviews, is amazing and really shows how much the movies meant to him.
The whole cast is like that too. They all seem to have a deep connection with the movies that hasn’t left all these years later.
Meanwhile, the Star Wars cast just want it to endddd
It really does. Probably the most epic thing any of them will ever do
@@zachlloyd7078 absolutely. once in a life time movie roll for sure
hes the mark hamil of lord of the rings
This man …is the man? He takes multiple bites of each, he triple dabs his last dab to the point the crew fears for him, and his eloquence is continuous. Well played, sir.
He's The Guy
kinda poetic
Kudos to him for cleaning the wings. A lot of people just nibble and I don't say I would do better but really only respect for this man. A really great human being.
You mean Hobbit?
Now all Sean needs is Gaydalf and Dildo Baggins to carry Chodo's burnt O-Ring from Mount Doom to the Burn-Center in Chapel Hill. 😆😂🤣
Elijah is probably my favourite famous person, he is genuinely a good person. He's a brilliant artist and actor and I have to say, I got a little emotional when he mentioned he loves when people talk about Over The Garden Wall, because it is my all time favourite piece of media. This little gem of a show is an absolute joy to watch and I've been watching it every single year since it has come out, during autumn.
It’s time! 🎃
Amen to all you said
Elijah is such a happy person. I enjoy his energy so much
as a typical INFP/ENFP :P
@@DutchGuyMike why are we so angelic ...
I’m in disbelief of how natural and enjoyable their conversation was throughout the end. We all agree that Sean's a great interviewer, but Elijah Wood as a guest is something else. He's just so effortlessly... himself. Not stuck-up, very well-spoken (even when he cursed it sounded amazing lol) and we can just see how passionate he is as an actor and human being in general.
Also the part where he talks about not wanting to come off as a dick, it may sound simple, but you’d be surprised of how many people out there who wouldn’t even consider that on day to day life, let alone celebrities. So, props to Elijah!
I'm not a huge fan, but I like him more now.
I totally agree
I have loved his work for a while but this gives me so much more appreciation of him
Yeah, really comes off as just a normal, super friendly person. :)
Elijah is so down to earth and I love that the LOTR cast went to a fan party after the awards show. 💗
:-/ Ok mate, put it away.
Damn bro Sean's and Elijah's energies bounce really well off of each other.
Yeah i wanted it to go on longer!
How they were after the last dab really allowed me to see what you mean.
Sean has hobbit energy
Hell yeah, vibin'!
They are secretly gay for each other. 🤔🤔
Love Elijah's collar escaping during the interview! He cleaned his wings and gave in depth answers. Respect between them. And their dreamy eyes!
Such a great guest, you could tell he wanted to be there because of the experience more than the added publicity. This episode was an amazing flow because it was all natural, from his past stories and that he actually took a taste of everything and told us his feelings throughout. Elijah, you did amazing.
I LOVE how Elijah is just...into this. He's genuinely interested in what's going on and super present in the experience.
or he hates it and is an amazingly good actor... he does seem to be having fun with it though.
I love grounded fame. Elijah is obviously not out of touch. Dude seems like a really great guy.
@@DrieStone it is cool to see ppl not Go crazy. Like the much less successful people that become dicks from a semi decent movie as opposed to very accomplished celebs that appreciate their fans
A man of culture.
This is how you make people like you. Show you're listening to what they’re saying, be honest and apologize when you’re not to ask for them to repeat and take a sincere interest in their lives while trying to relate to them. Most importantly, though, try and learn from what is being said and only speak up when asked a question or if the conversation dies down. Eli shows just how simple this is!
As someone who is tired of hearing actors pretend to be "real people", Elijah is so fucking intelligent, not just as a person but about video games and media and tons of other stuff. A very pleasant surprise!
He is humble. As former child actor he has seen and heard a lot of lousy things happening to child actors in Hollywood.
He was so personable on “My Dad Wrote a Porno” podcast. He comes across as very humble and lovely.
How the fuck did you expect him to be? I don't understand these celebrity-obsessed people. Whatever.
@@bazingacurta2567 most celebrities are not very intelligent. Elijah is intelligent. That is a pleasant surprise. We worship and elevate opportunistic and narcissistic idiots.
Elijah is so fucking intelligent, not just as a person but about video games and media and tons of other stuff.
Wow a modern day Plato because he plays video games rofl. Is this the comments section where redditors hang out?
:^)
I’m so glad he mentioned Over the Garden Wall and seems to have a great appreciation for it. That’s my favorite thing he’s been in and just one of my favorite shows in general.
I come back to this one again and again for feel-good vibes. I sincerely think this is the best interview Hot Ones ever did. Elijah is so gracious and eloquent, it's a joy to hear him talk about *anything*. I hope he comes to the comment section here once in a while to know how much he was appreciated.
Just caught myself smiling through the whole thing. It’s just so wholesome.
I noticed too that I was smiling alot!
As a society we don’t value Elijah Wood properly, shame on us. Also he has to be one of the most articulate people I’ve ever listened to
He's just an actor after all.
You can't expect our pluralistic society to value an actor, because not everyone is interested in actors.
@@iche9373 he’s not ‘just’ an actor, he’s an actual person
@@ferninthewild8584 yes, and a stranger.
@@iche9373 not a stranger, we all grew up with him, he is a brother to young Generation and a son to older generation
@@levent.a.7280 you grew up with him but does he know you? No. Why? Because he is a stranger and a brother you never had.
Elijah: “I wish the wings had never come to me. I wish none of this had ever happened.”
Sean: “So do all who live to see such times…”
😂😂😂😂
Great comment.
😂😂😂
The real question is it Sean Evans or Sean Bean(?e)?
Best comment ever
I love seeing how pleasantly surprised Elijah was by Sean's questions, he was so excited to be there it's adorable and made the interview
Every interview I've ever seen of Elijah he's been so well spoken, genuine, humble, just all around wholesome person, always excited to be there! Gotta love him.
Elijah is a fucking delight, I thoroughly enjoyed this episode!
If ever a person could be described as a delight it would be Elijah!

There needs to be a sauce named “Careful Around the Eyes”.
Thank you! I was getting anxious he didn't tell him!
i would like to add my signature to this petition
BIG. BLUE. EYES.
Big bottle in the middle of them
And one called "Never touch your pee pee"
He is so well-spoken and enthusiastic , this is one of my favorite episodes and i always enjoy watching actors like him who are only recognized for a role put some spotlight on thier other projects and gets to talk about them.
It's amazing how every guest tells Sean he always does the best questions and leaves the program entertained af. It's always good vibes and good words, that it speaks a lot of how of a well periodist Sean is, and amazing leading the program.
I'm impressed because Elijah is giving enthusiastic and genuine answers to all the questions!! What a nice guy
absolutly, in 2016 he also spoke up about the serious problems in hollywood everybody knows about, but doesn't talk about.
It's the same in his WIRED interview.
@@DaNr1to2 I love the way he comments about the sauces.
hes just a good guy over all. hes like if a big fan of movies became a well known actor. he never lost that enjoyment of film and food when he made it like others. it feels like if you went up to him and talked he would actually hold a conversation with u, and most actors would try to avoid situations like that.
Seriously, such a great interview. I thoroughly enjoyed it
23:15 The way Sean is blew away by what Elijah is saying is so wholesome, I love it!
I love how his Austin food recommendations are at once super delicious and super accessible. Mr. Movie Star could've rattled off some $250/seat places, but instead, as always, he chose the down-to-earth.
The conversation flows magically. Elijah is such a well spoken guy.
Why doesn't he sound British?
@@levent.a.7280 because some people in this world don't sound british
He speaks with intelligence and intellect while maintaining honesty...really impressive and enjoyable...
I mean, it's all scripted and edited so of course it flow magically.
@@carny15 Spoken like somebody who never has tried to speak like a normal human while suffering severe pain from scorching hot food :D Or your tolerance is out of this world who knows ;) Either way Elijah is just an all around nice dude and i don`t think they script any of it as demonstrated by many ppl going off the rails.
Elijah Wood is THE definition of a grounded human being. I have so much respect for who he is; especially since he's been in the business since he was at least 8 years old. Much respect!
666th comment here.. LOL.. Chris Angel, headless Japanese man, and a japnese man walking through a table is better than David Blaine.. David Blaine didn't eat carolina reaper, just like the scene in Cobra Kai.....
Someone taught him well
@@Daiyuki117 I once watched a interview of his in which he spoke about his upbringing. His mum was most of the time on set and she made him hang up his costumes (and not throw it on the floor), clean his trailer himself and she wouldn´t let him cut the line during lunch. I think that kind of treatment by his mother made him the kind and well-mannered person he is now as a grown-up.
he's super cool tbh
I'm just happy you brought up Spyro. The Legend of Spyro trilogy has had a tremendous impact on me and is also criminally underrated.
I know they're compared physically a lot, but putting that aside, I don't know of two actors who are more grounded, sweet, and authentic while having such major stardom as Elijah Wood and Daniel Radcliff. They remind me of each other with their easygoing and no-pretension attitude about themselves, what they do, and who they are. Love to hear them in interviews.
That's kind of what Dan said recently in an interview 😂 that they don't actually look THAT much alike, but the idea of them is the same: short, brown haired actors with similar energy.
True lol !
The wholesomeness levels on this are up there with Paul Rudd.
Oh that's definitely one of my favorites!
Accurate

The one with Theo Von is really awesome also! Just two bros eating wings

What a genuine guy Elijah is. I know plenty of non-celebrity individuals that don't come off nearly as grounded and thoughtful as Elijah does here. Nice to see. I now want to watch all of his films.
this has got to be my favourtie episode, and i really wasn't expecting it to be!
elijah is sooo lovable!
and him and Cate Blanchett asked many similar questions
When Elijah Wood said, "Hey, Shortys," then made everyone wait in anticipation for a good 3 sec to see if he'd say, "it's your birthday." Knew he wouldn't leave us hanging. Good man.
He’s uptight ,& weird .
Sean: shout out to shorty,
Elijah: Hey shorty, it's your birthday..
This KILLED me when he said it so nonchalantly
We going to party like it's your birthday going to sip of bacardi like it's your birthday... And you know we don't give a f*** cuz it's not your birthday
He just casually tosses that out
if u dont like elijah woods now u do. if u liked him before now u love him. hes just lovely.
This is the epitome of what quiet confidence and security in who you are looks like in a person.

Elijah, dude, you handled this like a fucking champ.
It's that hobbit diet. Those bastards never stop eating!
I mean he did go through Mordor
He cleaned the wings!
Yeah, i´m impressed. Did not think he would do this good.
While I watched this, I realized that I never saw an interview with Elijah Wood before. He seems to be very nice, down-to-earth and funny in a way I like. He also seems very natural and as strange as this might sound, but I like that he burped and blew his nose and obviously didn't want to get this parts cut out. What I like about this is, that he doesn't appear like somebody with no manners, but he's also not blushing a lot about it. He's just like "Sorry, but it is what it is, dude". And that's just fine and tells a lot about his character. This is the kind of people I like most.
"Hey Shorty's... It's ya birthday." The casual delivery is killing me.
Elijah seems like he "gets" the spirit of Hot Ones more than any other guest
I was going to make a remark like "Really? More than Steve-O?" considering Steve-O's effort in making the show seamless despite the interview being done remotely last season, but I kind of understand your point. Elijah understood the hot sauces and why it's there and he communicated that perfectly.
The essence

i havent religiously watched these interviews but i swear ive never seen sean actually react to the wings like this before! its almost like he was vibing with elijah so much that he got second hand spice
This was such a delightful interview. Both Elijah and the interviewer had great questions/answer and the conversation was overall so sweet and friendly. Great job!
He's just such a delightful human being.
That great feeling when one of your childhood movie actors is a great, wholesome person is making the child within me smile with joy.
..he really is..
He has a real professorial vibe.
His Punk'd appearance proves he is one of the most wholesome human beings to ever be filmed.
@Miles Doyle Jesus wouldn't even like that comment.
Really appreciate that Sean didn’t make this all about LotR, even though it’s a big part of Elijah’s career (but he didn’t awkwardly ignore it either). I feel like this interview was very well-researched and thought out.
Every one of Sean's interviews are aell researched and thoughtful
@@robertconnell7082 very true. When he says “even hotter questions” he really means it. They always go all out and have really thoughtful, well researched questions,
I've noticed in other episodes that Sean deliberately keeps the "familiar territory" to a minimum, and even still tackling it from a unique angle.
Always.
He always is. And that's why these episodes are great
This almost feels like two friends hanging out. What a fantastic episode!
Wilfred was one of my ALL TIME FAVORITES!!!
ME TOO!!!!!
I love how Elijah Wood isn’t afraid to be genuinely himself
Because he doesn't have an ego.

Fiddly cent.
He's just a regular everyday normal guy...
went straight to the comments to make sure someone acknowledged it 😂😂
Hearing Elijah speak like a normal human give me hope❤️🔥
I love when the guests give an in depth critique of the sauces. Trevor Noah did a really good job as well.
"Hey Shortys…" bites wing "…it's your birthday!" 6:23 This man is pure gold!
I was looking exactly for this one, Elijah referencing 50 cents... high levelsssss!!!
Man of culture, more like man of taxonomy 😂
the behind the scenes of how they did the forced perspective for scale is absolutely mind blowing. Make you really apprecaite the level of innovation and creativity in the first 2-3 movies.
When I saw it was Elijah Wood, I wasn’t expecting it to be good. One of the best guests on I’ve ever seen. Very genuine and smart guy. It also helps when the questions during the interview are great. They seemed to click very well. Great job all around!
Definitely doesn’t try to be cool he’s just genuinely himself.. which makes him cool.
This is always my draw to the show. Even if the guest is an excellent actor...the heat will bring something out whether he/she likes it or not.
That was my first thought after his second wing. He seems so genuine and radiates in this interview. I am even more of a fan of him.
This 100%
Man blew his nose 5 times. That's cool
Elijah just keeps talking as if the sauces don't even affect him lol. The guy is just too wholesome.
Lol and so laidbacked
Very funny way of dealing with it
He's dying... but that won't stop him from living
Also let’s talk about Elijah eating the entire wing no matter what… baller
What a delightful human being. This interview was made so much fun by how much he enjoyed it.

: D the only clues Elijah was affected were the courteous burps, slight glow, and the increasingly errant right collar!
"this is so fun" "it's amazing to be here" "im so honored" Elijah Wood was SO DAMN HAPPY to be a guest on Hot Ones and it showed. So wholesome 💖
Yeah, it's like he was waiting for this moment for a looong time. Dream come true lol.
Y tf would u be honoured? You have no stake in this. You're making no sense.
@@Tyronejizz lmao YOU'RE making no sense
@@whosmakingthatsound nah its like saying youre honoured because someone else did something you had nothong to do with makes no sense.
For example: im so honoured someone came to the birthday party of my neighbours makes no sense.
@@Tyronejizz you understand she used quotes? So she is not saying she's honored. She is quoting him...
I've been wanting to fix Elija's collar during the whole interview. He's a good sport man. Looking forward to more of his projects.
I appreciate that Frodo returns from Valinor every once in a while to make a new movie. Truly the greatest hobbit of all times
"Hey Shorty"
*Raises wing*
"It's your birthday"
I can't with this lmao
Best line in the whole video 😂
*shorties
Lmao that went over a lot of peoples heads.
@@jimmyj3173 oops lmao
@@george43to01 he was referring to the restaurant where the wings came from you dink. Him and Sean said "shorties" not shorty 🙄
I love how he is just a normal dude. He doesn't feel like a celebrity at all even if he was Mr fricking Frodo in The Lord of the Rings. Also, he plays videogames like the rest of us. So cool.
Guy is always just doin stuff around Austin like a regular dude. A regular dude with a ton of money, but just doing stuff.
Thats why he was so natural in Wilfred, he just played an elevated version of himself. Well a version of himself that hallucinates an anthropomorphic dog
Yeeeeeah, he's just... nice. Just... nice. A nice guy. Like you watch him in things and it doesn't matter if he's good or bad in them. He's just nice.
I really wish Dirk Gently had gotten another season. I liked him on that.
We'll just ignore his American accent which seems to have come from nowhere. Certainly, not where he was born or lived most of his life!
@@russellcontreras394 omg I totally forgot Wilfred til just now it was awesome tho
Elijah wood is the most pure person I have ever seen when it comes to celebrities. I wish I could hang out with this guy.
Elijah Wood is such a delight. America’s Sweetheart.
Elijah is a national treasure. So down to earth. You feel like you can just go get lunch with the guy and have a real conversation
Exactly 💯 all the hobbits seem like chill guys. I'd invite them and their partners/wives to a game night
Hes special
Down to earth as the Fires of Mount doom
His collar is making me uncomfortable
Elijah Wood's table is actually closer to the camera to make it seem like he is up to scale with Sean Evans. Some great cinema magic in this video
best guest ever. feel like ive known him my whole life just from watching this episode.
I love how much you can see them both enjoying this entire episode together.
One thing I've always liked about Elijah and Daniel Radcliffe is how normal they've stayed. They always seem very thankfull for their well earned succes
I just listened to Conan O'Brien's podcast with Daniel, and he seems like such a nice, normal guy.
Agreed about Elijah, too.
Short men are way more self conscious about themselves, so they dont usually succumb to the “hollywood” ego

Elijah is such a freakin' KING of interviews, man. Combined with Sean's skill, this is a perfect episode.
You're right, this is a perfect episode
Agreed 100%
didn't knew he was a gamer till they talked bout video games later
Ya this was such a great interview
he's the kind of dude i can see wearing a top hat
He conducted himself so well during this interview. I’m really impressed. What an interesting guy.
This is by far my favorite guest on this show to date
"Hey Shorties, it's your birthday"
Iconic.
Cracked me up too 🤣
I also died laughing at that. Wonder how many caught the reference.
Too good lol
ill never forget this
@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley anyone who was born before 2000 polly Pretty familiar I'd say
I could listen to him talk for hours
You're in luck! He's in lots of movies!
@@isthisthingon100 oh really? What kinda movies?
ENHANCE
And he's hylarious too!
I don't even understand why people downvote this. Elijah has always been amazing, but he proves it.
