That green colour isn't because I'm envious.

Nope, that's just... a rash, yes. Right.

Sir Ian McKellen has returned to Wellington with plans to drop in on an old stomping ground - the hobbit hole at Bag End.

The revered British actor, who played the wise wizard Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, is in New Zealand with the Royal Shakespeare Company to play the title role in King Lear.

He intends to catch up with old friends while in Wellington, and Peter Jackson has invited him to stay at his home in Wairarapa.

"He kept the set of Bag End, which was Frodo's house, and set it up for guests with running water, so I'm going to spend the night there," Sir Ian said yesterday.

"It'll be the one the hobbits were in which made them look small, so it'll be big enough for humans."

I'M NOT ENVIOUS. I'M NOT ENVIOUS. I'M NOT ENVIOUS...

A green rash? Uh-huh. I'll buy that. Not. ;P

Spending the night in a hobbit hole. That would be so wonderful...

Yes. That would give me time to take copious amounts of pictures/video to help build my own hobbit hole...

Ha! He's not having to duck to avoid the light fittings, then! How lovely that must be for him to stay there. I wonder whether Elijah has been a guest?

:D

PJ should run it as a B&B.

You may not be envious...but I am!!! :DDDDD

oooh, what I wouldn't give to stay in Bag End!

[ourdramaqueen.livejournal.com]

What I wouldn't give to live in Bag End!

[primula-baggins.livejournal.com]

Hey, if PJ ever needs extra money (not likely), he could rent out Bag End. I'm sure half the world would love to stay there! : )

[ourdramaqueen.livejournal.com]

Yes, I think to run it as a B&B would be very profitable for him! I'd stay there in a heartbeat!

I got such a warm glow when I saw this story yesterday. As far as I know, Elijah was last in NZ round about April 2005 but never mentioned staying in Bag End when he referred to it so I suppose that means he didn't. But he must, he really, really must - and prefereably with some of the other hobbits for company:)

Yes, with Dom for example... ;)
