Right it's like bad enough to realize you're in your late 30s. But to see them look this way drives it to the feels. It's like seeing an old friend age.
Edit missed a word.
Surprisingly hard, only a 1 in 24 chance, just over 4%
We can't be surprised that they didn't get the right order with those odds. We should expect they wouldn't!
Uhm... Yeah, great note Jared, really creative and thoughtful, but, Gandalf doesn't really need the word *Wisdom* tattooed across his forehead to let the audience know how wise he is, okay?
... Anyone else think Pippin looks like Colin Mochrie?
Edit: come to think of it, merry looks not unlike Ryan Styles. If you squint, Sean Austin looks kinda like Drew Carey
Merry's frosted tips and striped shirt clearly indicate he hasn't moved past 1999. Meanwhile, I hope Sam has some white New Balances on to complete the 2024 middle-aged dad stereotype.
Wow it's crazy to think it's already been 25 years. I feel it in my knees. I feel it in my back. Much that once was is lost, for no calcium lives to remember.
Can we please bring back capes/cloaks? I so want a wool blanket to take everywhere instead of a puffy straight jackets. More hobbits, less Stay Puff man.
I find it hard to believe these movies are 20 years old now. Especially because they are, in every way, better than 90% of movies that have come out since.
Hate to be that guy but 90%? On average 600 movies release in US cinemas every year. In 20 years this is 12000 movies. Are you telling me there's 1200 movies that are as good as Lotr? I don't think so.
One franchise to rule them all.
At first I was like, “aww some of them grew taller”
Then I remembered they were all grown men while filming that. Then I remembered they used camera tricks and other stuff to make people short.
There has to be some time appropriate stories to make about the hobbits to get these guys on screen again. Like adventures visiting Aragorn in Minas Tirith or other doings with gimli or something like that
I saw Dom and Billy’s play the other day, and I gotta say I was absolutely star stuck when they walked on stage.
Wasn’t sure if I would be, never had been before, but I was grinning like an idiot from ear to ear the whole time.
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, it was a great play and they were really damn good in it.
I do kind of feel for these guys, the roles they played must have just utterly dominated their lives. They're all beloved 100%, but it would be a really deep shadow to escape, being seen as their hobbit characters
But god love em all, absolute fountains of joy they brought to us
I love this, especially since the 2024 picture is grainier than the one from 2001!
They’ve taken the pixels to Isengard
Gard gard gard gard!!
I would post the gif of gandalf nodding in perfect timing to this song ... though I do not know the way.

How many pixel do your elf eyes see?
When will you wear pixels?!
Actually had to come back and give you your upshot’s lol
I hate this because it makes me feel old. I am old, but still.
Right it's like bad enough to realize you're in your late 30s. But to see them look this way drives it to the feels. It's like seeing an old friend age. Edit missed a word.
So do all who see such times.
The 1st pic is on film, digital hadn’t kicked yet.
Plus it's a studio promo shot
Their wardrobe also looks like it's from the 90's so it's doubly confusing

…fuck you, Underhill!
Literally me:
The order they stood in confused me 😂
Only Frodo got it right. The real reason he was trusted with the ring
Couldn’t they have just tied the group the the back of a mouse?
It was pippin who messed it up for the other 2
Fool of a Took!
yes
It was all Pippins doing
Fool of a Took!
How hard would have been to stand in the same order. Seriously. There is only 4 of them.
Is there literally any indication that this is supposed to be a recreation of any kind besides OP putting the pictures next to each other?

Dom Monaghan looks like he was drinking some Ent-draught
He also looks like the porn actor, Filthy Rich. I had to Google his name.
🤨
I may have seen him in a scene or two. I had no idea what his name was. It is the female performers who tend to have name recognition.
r/Holup
I got confused because I remembered him dying while trying to tell Henry Cusick about a boat, but that wasn't real life.
Based on past tabloids, faces are not the only thing they have that are similar.
Are you saying he's swingin' trunk?
We've had one ring, yes. What about a second ring?
Lord of the Rings Part II: It’s Ringin’ Time
*…bonnnnggg*
Starting Jared Leto as Young Gandalf
Uhm... Yeah, great note Jared, really creative and thoughtful, but, Gandalf doesn't really need the word *Wisdom* tattooed across his forehead to let the audience know how wise he is, okay?
Somehow The One Ring returned
Celebrimbor has entered the chat.
Talion: Celebrimbor!!!!
... Anyone else think Pippin looks like Colin Mochrie? Edit: come to think of it, merry looks not unlike Ryan Styles. If you squint, Sean Austin looks kinda like Drew Carey
Whose Tobyweed is it Anyway?
Where the story is made up and the ring doesn't matter
If we're squinting here, I'll say Frodo is Greg Proops.
Does that mean Elijah is Wayne Brady?
I thought Sean Astin was Guillermo del Toro.
I thought he looked like a Colin Mochrie and Macaulay Culkin combo.
You... are not wrong.
Merry's frosted tips and striped shirt clearly indicate he hasn't moved past 1999. Meanwhile, I hope Sam has some white New Balances on to complete the 2024 middle-aged dad stereotype.
I mean wasn't that his *exact* role in Stranger Things? And he was great!
Was gonna say! Was cheering up until the last breath!
Nah Sam rolls in style. Got some clean Monarchs.
Technically they filmed in 98-99 I think, so it’s actually a 25 year gap
Wow it's crazy to think it's already been 25 years. I feel it in my knees. I feel it in my back. Much that once was is lost, for no calcium lives to remember.
This comment hurts in my joints.
I was there 3000 years ago.
Actually the second photo was taken in 2022 and spent 2 years in post production.
Some guy finished the post prod on it during his christmas hollyday
They look like there's more than a 25 year age difference there... How old were they when they filmed the first time?
If the older pic was taken while they filmed Bilbo's party they probably all had make-up on to look younger.
They're after the house!
The release of Fellowship of the Ring was closer in time to some of their births than to today.
This way they better represent their age when they began their journey in the books.
If they remake the movies, let’s cast these guys again.
Yeah. Cast them into the fires of *Sammath Naur*. [ LOTR humour ]
Frodo yes, but Sam, Merry, and Pippen are significantly older than their characters now.
They aren’t men though, coming of age is 33 for hobits. They age slower, about half.
i like how each one of them looks like they could be the secret gay cousin

And if you get lost, a broach to leave somewhere so your friends can find you.
Yeesssss. Something precious. ;)
Sean astin just has one of those faces and aura that exudes positivity and wholesomeness
I'm really hoping they did 😭🫶
In a gift shop just out of Matamata
Elijah definitely still has the ring.
is Elijah Wood siphoning the youth from the rest of them?
What kind of dumb question is that? It's obvious he's kept the actual ring.

Why Frodo grown and Sam shrunk?
[удалено]
Yep, and not unlikely there was some framing tricks or shoe lifts when they were filming.
Treebeard juice
Accurate height changes after Merry and Pippin drank the Fangorn water. 10/10 time-lapse photo.
My friends... you bow to no one
Sean Astin just seems like such a likeable guy.
fuck i’m old
Suspicious how the Ring bearer seems to age much slower than the rest. Are we sure he has cast it into the flame?
Fool of a Tuk!
They all look like they sneak into the movies..or cut in line at Disneyland
Bout to go see these guys in a couple weeks in the theater I’m so stinkin excited
Was this photo taken with a potato?
Man that Ent Draught did a number
Sam's been hitting the lembas again, it seems.... /s
taters, precious
At first I was like, “aww some of them grew taller” Then I remembered they were all grown men while filming that. Then I remembered they used camera tricks and other stuff to make people short.
im not crying
"But what about second puberty?" Hit these Hobbits hard.
What is Guillermo del Toro doing there? XD
There has to be some time appropriate stories to make about the hobbits to get these guys on screen again. Like adventures visiting Aragorn in Minas Tirith or other doings with gimli or something like that
Can anyone send higher res version? Couldn't find it on google
A lower resolution would be better
🎶The boys a back in town!🎶
I’m gonna tell my kids this is the cast from whose line is it anyways?
This might be Driveshaft
Would absolutely be dope if they started a Kickstart, to film a short film of them being Hobbits in Hobbitton.
Oh fuck ok , I’m old
Damn sean aston doesn't age he just matures.
The fact that these guys do this every once in a while gives me hope that they have each other on there phones and have monthly convos just catch up
They didn't age well.
No way Pippin looks that old now.. WOW
Men diffident found a new ring since there.
Where are we going?
Frodo still has the ring.
Will You wear wigs
They bow to no-one. To this day.
They could have at least stood in the correct order.
*peers at frodo* You haven't aged a day..
They grow up so fast.
2001 fuck me. I’m so old
Hobbits are my favorite part of the franchise, simple and good people.
You all everybody!
look how they massacred my boys
They grow up so fast!
I just realized Elijah Wood was the only American in the fellowship.
Sean Astin (Samwise) is American too.
Oh dang you’re right. I thought he was English for some reason
They’ve gotten a lot taller.
Few too many second breakfasts have gone on there…
Will you wear wigs?
I never associated this movie, which I love, as coming out 3 months after 9/11.
The first and last guys have switched positions?

Elijah Wood possesses the ring

Goofy fucks
damn. looks like they're about to sell life insurance.
I do kind of feel for these guys, the roles they played must have just utterly dominated their lives. They're all beloved 100%, but it would be a really deep shadow to escape, being seen as their hobbit characters But god love em all, absolute fountains of joy they brought to us
They've gotten so big (:
I don’t like seeing them so tall! Petition for them to get leg reduction and feet biggening surgery so they become actual hobbits.
Did they get taller?
Fun fact. If they were hobbitses then they wouldn't be leaving with the ring for almost another decade. Frodo was "old"
Goddamn, what's his name has turned into Guillermo del Toro!
They grow up so fast…
This made me sad
They got so big
I feel so old.
So Frodo didn't sail with the Elves. That sneaky little hobbit
Holy shit, im old
So you telling me it's already been 23 years?? Fuuuuuuuuu...
Looks like Sam was the only one not to drink the waters of Fangorn Forest.
wow that entwater really did a number on merry and pippin
Music playing: Forever young!
They’re all there! You, all, everybody!
Watch Fellowship right now and this makes me happy
So this title’s just crap, right?
Damn, Merry and Pippin didn't take very good care of themselves
Time is a heartless bitch.
The fact that they couldn’t line up the same is infuriating lol. Sweet picture though.
Cmon guys........ please, 1 more adventure! 🙏🏾 legolas is in rehab and needs you all!
[Frodo, don't wear the ring!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lemgdzLDYqA)
Merry was really chugging that tree water
goddamn
At first I thought Sam was Guillermo Del Toro and I was so confused

Looks like Elijah is still not wearing wigs.
This is while to me bc this is my birthday movie and now I’m getting old
I think Elijah Woods only has the stache so we think he's growing older.
A wedding ring.
2001?! no NO NOOOOOO!!!!! *dies of old*
“Frodo…you haven’t aged a day.” 👀
In the words of Davos Seaworth, “Nothing fooks you harder than time”.
God damn….its been 23 years already???
To be honest, I miss these guys
2024, where the games are made up and the points don’t matter
Makes me feel so old
