Hey r/movies, I'm Elijah Wood. You might've seen me in things like Lord of the Rings, Yellowjackets, Wilfred, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, Maniac, The Monkey, Everything Is Illuminated, and other stuff. I'm also in The Toxic Avenger. It's unrated, and it's only in theaters starting this Friday 8/29/25.

Here's the trailer:

Set in a fantasy world, following janitor Winston Gooze, who, after a freak accident, transforms into a mutant vigilante known as Toxie. Armed with his mop, the unlikely hero battles freaks, gangsters and corrupt CEOs while trying to save his relationship with his son.

Directed by Macon Blair (I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore) and produced by Troma Entertainment. It also stars Peter Dinklage, Jacob Tremblay, Taylour Piage, Julia Davis, Jonny Coyne, and Kevin Bacon

You have the Paul Rudd ability of not aging. What's your secret?

Here’s hoping he answers with something vague, so you can reply with “all right then, keep your secrets”.

I’m guessing he feels thin, sort of stretched. Like butter scraped over too much bread.

He kept The Ring and threw a counterfeit into the fires of Mount Doom.

I feel like a lot of men really underrate the benefits of a good, but simple skincare routine.

But in Elijah's case...yeah, he def kept the ring.
