Date: 2011-06-20 02:08 pm (UTC)LORD of the Rings star Billy Boyd has revealed his dream of a cameo role in prequel The Hobbit has been shot down... but he plans to gatecrash the set anyway.
The Glaswegian actor played Pippin in the movie trilogy and hoped he could appear in the new two-parter - set 60 years earlier - as the character's father.
His hopes were boosted when it was reported that fellow hobbit Elijah Wood would reprise his role as Frodo in the opening sequence of the first movie.
But Billy now admits a return is unlikely, although that won't stop him teaming up with Elijah and Dominic Monaghan for a nostalgic set visit.
Billy, 42, said: "No, I wouldn't think anything will come of that but I am definitely going to go down there, I haven't been back since the premiere of Return Of The King.
"Most of the guys have been back for a little trip or something but I have not managed it.
"I have been talking to Dom and Elijah and we are all going to go back this year. We will all go together, like a reunion trip. We want to go and see the sets.
"And while we're there, there must be something for us. They must need a hobbit in the background somewhere. I can even put the big feet on myself!"
The award-winning trilogy had a huge impact on Billy's profile as an actor and his life off-camera.
He became firm friends with the rest of the cast over the 14 months they spent shooting the movies in New Zealand.
He and Dominic are still close, even writing a film together. Billy said: "That time was a big chunk of our lives and had a big impact.
"Me and Dom are working on this script together, we're finally getting serious about it.
"We were chatting about that time in New Zealand and it was just a crowd of guys having a laugh with swords and stuff. The friendship with Dom has come out of it, to. He is a great guy and great with Jack, our wee boy.
"Dom is the babysitter when we go to America. He's funny, he makes me laugh more than anyone else."
Billy hopes the movie they are creating will capture the easy bond between them and is thrilled it now seems to be coming close to reality.
He said: "We were with the writers yesterday and are getting close to a script we all like. I think once we get to that point it will all go fast.
"We are seriously moving ahead with the film, it is becoming real rather than something in our heads.
"We have Sid Ganis to produce, the huge Sony guy who was head of the Academy. There are really good people involved. We will definitely both be in it, it is written for us.
"It's surreal comedy stuff. We are trying to get something different and really like the way it's going."

Date: 2011-06-20 03:45 pm (UTC)Billy: We disappear in the film for fifty minutes.
Dom: And that is probably the darkest piece of cinema you’ll see, that fifty minutes.
Billy: I think it’s actually a storytelling device. It makes people get sadder and sadder…
Dom: Just long for Pippin and Merry.
Billy: Yeah, they’re thinking, ‘I’m missing something. I don’t know what I’m missing…’
Dom: ’There’s a piece of my life, a shard of my heart has been torn out…’
Billy: ‘…I don’t know what it is…’
Dom: ‘…and I don’t understand what it is.’
Billy: ‘…it’s something.’ And then…
Dom: And then!
Billy: There’s….there’s the two little buggers up a tree!
[Both sigh in relief]
Billy: That’s better, eh?
Dom: Like a new sunrise!
Billy: Oh, it’s beautiful, isn’t that? Like someone’s just given you a cake.
Dom: Yeah, or candy floss. Or cotton candy, as you might say in America.
Billy: Ohhh, cotton candy. Or a big bag of popcorn.
Dom: Yeah. Or pumpernickel, as they say in America.
Billy: Oh pumpernickel! Rocky Road!
Dom: Baby Ruth. We’re just gonna say chocolate bars now.
Billy: Yeah. [laughs]

Date: 2011-06-20 05:41 pm (UTC)LET ME GO AHEAD AND ASK YOU THE QUESTION THAT BILLY WANTED US TO ASK YOU. HE'D LIKE TO KNOW YOUR 18 FAVOURITE THINGS ABOUT HIM.
My 18 favorite things? Okay.
#1 - The space between his nose and his lip. I think it's called the filtrum. That's f-i-l-t-r-u-m. Billy's got a fantastic filtrum. You know how babies have that very cute, sweet little filtrum? Billy's got the exact same thing! So that would be my #1 favorite thing about Billy. (aside) He's telling me now what to say now, but I'm not going to!
#2 - Very small, dainty hands and feet, which makes him very dexterous; anything that he does with his hands is always very precise.
#3 - Quite big biceps for such a small man. Big strong arms.
#4 - Funny.
#5 - His hair. There's something very interesting with his hair. When he's in a good mood, he spikes it all up, so he looks like a complete lunatic.
#6 - His voice ... very good.
#7 He's got quite enchanting eyes. You know how it is with the eclipse? If you keep looking at it for a certain amount of time, you can't stop - you have to keep looking at it. That's like Billy's eyes - if you look at them for more than 20 or 30 seconds, then you're hooked. There have been a couple of times in bars where I've had to actually pull girls away, so they'd stop looking at his eyes ... (otherwise) you'll be there for the rest of your life!
#8 - I really liked the smell of his car when we were in New Zealand, because we used to keep our surfboards in there, and his car just absolutely reeked of rotting wetsuits and sand and protein shakes. Billy didn't care about that.
#9 - He got me into a couple of bands I really liked.
#10 - Choice of movies. He's got a very good taste in films.

Date: 2011-06-20 05:42 pm (UTC)#12 - Fear of heights. Billy's got a great fear of heights that he just doesn't question. I'm very scared of heights too, and when we went to this bungee jump, I said to him, "We're going to conquer our fear of heights. Come on, that's what we'll do. We'll do a bungee jump, and then you can always say you did it." And Billy was like, "No. I'm afraid of heights, and that's what I'm sticking to." I like that!
#13 - Sleeps like a dormouse at any opportunity. If Billy's given 25 minutes to sleep, he'll do it. Whereas if I'm given 25 minutes to sleep, I'll run off and get a drink, go and call someone, play with my Playstation ... do 50 million things at the same time and get frustrated.
#14 - Good surfer. He's my main surfing buddy, which is always a good thing. He's also my scuba-diving buddy and my kayaking and canoeing partner. So we have a great relationship both in and out of the water.
#15 - Always shares his food. When we're in a restaurant, Billy will always say, "Try this!"
#16 - We enjoy drinking pretty much the same amount, which is nice. If you're going to spend a year and a half with someone, it's good if you drink on the same level! Billy and I can keep up with each other, which is essential.
#17 - I love the fact that he choose 17 favorite things because he knew I could only think of 16!
ACTUALLY, IT'S 18.
Oh, really. (Boyd is heard giggling loudly) My 18th one is ... let me think. Oh - the fact that he always leaves his sunglasses everywhere. While I've been with him, he's probably lost about seven or eight pairs. In New Zealand, he'd just leave them on café tables. What I used to do is just pick them up automatically, and a couple of hours later, he'd say, "Oh, shit! I left my sunglasses!" I'd say, "No, Billy ... here you go." That was my job: picking up sunglasses.
YOU REALLY ARE LIKE AN OLD MARRIED COUPLE. YOU KNOW EACH OTHER SO WELL ...
We kind of are! There are a lot of gay rumors rife on the internet.
I REALLY DIDN'T MEAN IT THAT WAY!
Well, (there are rumors)! We spend so much time together. We enjoy each other's company. We're constantly walking up and down the red carpet with an arm around each other and chatting and all that kind of stuff. So the rumors are rife! There was also a rumor about Elijah and me that Ian McKellen told us about - we were having an affair in L.A.! But you know, I'm not going to confirm or deny! (laughs) (Billy and I) do fit like a jigsaw. Still now, three or four years down the line of knowing each other, we'll manage to make each other crack up in tears of laughter ... and fascinate each other, which is (the perfect) relationship. Maybe we will get married in a couple of years! If he was a girl, I'd marry him today! I've been suggesting to Billy a sex change, but he really feels quite manly about things. (Boyd shouts, "I love women!") Yes, he's very passionate about women, as I am.
You know what else is interesting? Even though we spend so much time together, and we went to the same bars, we tended not to fight over women. Billy has a girlfriend right now and has for a while, but when we were single in New Zealand, we never really chased after the same women. Billy liked girls that looked a little bit different (than the ones I liked), and we always gave each other quite a wide berth. Besides, I can't compete with Billy for a woman because he has that incredible mind ... (pauses) But I also have that incredible body! Thinking about both of us ... I mean there must be a few girls out there who would think that the combination of Billy and Dom must be like a dream! It's like putting Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise together, you know.
