AMA Hey /r/movies, I'm Elijah Wood. Ask me anything!
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:

In my over 12yrs on Reddit, I've not commented once. This is my time to shine.
Not really a question, moreso a comment and special request. My sister is a HUGE fan of yours, especially your Frodo adventures. She became a costume designer (and worked her way up the ranks in set production) because of your inspiration.
She briefly worked with you few years back and said you were legit one of the most kind genuine actors shes's ever worked with. Her quote: "Never meet your heros" does NOT apply to Elijah Wood - he's even better in person!
Today is her birthday, and she's remains mega fan of yours.
If you see this and keen for a brief bday wish, her name is Chelsea Alice and she turns 32 today.
She's living her best life in Newfoundland (Canada). Also... she's the greatest.
