(click here) Books-Commentary - J.R.R. Tolkien LOTR Movie: Does Legolas look like Gwyneth Paltrow? Does anyone notice that the hobbits, especially the guy they got to play Frodo, looks a little like a girl, with long, curly hair, long eyelashes, etc? What's the story with that? And there's no doubt about Legolas. His hair is longer than Galadrial and he wears a hairclip. He obviously is meant to look like a woman with female 'do. In fact, don't you think he looks like Gwyneth Paltrow? Do you think Tolkien would be spinning in his grave if he knew that elves and hobbits had been transformed into she-males? Legolas.

Hum cool I dont understand the topic at all.        Iffy posts on 10/28/2006 5:14:38 PM The person who posted this obviously is not very good at observance. There is a certain facial difference between Gwyneth Paltrow and the guy who plays Legolas (Orlando Bloom). For instance, Bloom's jaw is a bit more square than Paltrow's, and Gwyneth has a far more defined cheekbone. The directors in this movie most definitely did not give a female a male part in this movie. But why am I even bothering to try and enlighten you? After all, you will do all in your power to hold that your judgement is true.        Lauren posts on 10/28/2006 4:23:29 PM How very dare you! THey are both gorgeous ;) xx        Dudette posts on 8/23/2005 11:10:57 PM yes. ther you go he was forced to wear the wig in order to play the part. HE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A GIRL, HE LOOKS LIKE A SEX GOD.        The commentator Eric Mulder Number One Elf Fan posts on 8/23/2005 10:23:26 PM Even the elves in the book are said to have long hair so why shouldn't Legolas and all the other elves have long hair?        Dudette posts on 8/22/2005 1:53:49 AM OKAY. a Hollywood hater. yu are rite i think that hollywood is totally goin downhill.        Chip posts on 8/21/2005 8:36:50 PM What's the difference? Even if he did wear a wig and looked like Paltro nobody should care. Hollywood s ucks. Theyre the money making mafia. All good money better off feeding poor people in india or africa.        Dudette posts on 8/21/2005 7:12:23 PM it's not like orli wanted to wear the wig, is it?? he had to in order to play legolas. anyone who played legolas prbly had to wear the wig. orlando looks hot with or without a wig.        maureen posts on 8/21/2005 6:14:47 PM Yes I do think Legolas looks like Gwyneth Paltrow especially with the long blond hair. If he wore make-up he would look just like her and he has her same eye color. Telling men from women is not so one-sided. There's a lot of interchange between sexes if you ask me. His body might reveal his a male but his face can tell otherwise        Dudette posts on 8/21/2005 5:46:39 PM WHAT ARE YOU PPLE INSANE??? Orli looks nothin like that ugly bitch. the thought make me sick. i can't believe that sum of your minds could be soooo perverted. he is prbly the only reason i even wasted my time watching that godd amn movie. HE IS THE HOTTEST MALE THAT EVER WALKED THE FACE OF THE EARTH.        The commentator leah posts on 8/21/2005 2:53:16 PM leglas is HOT!!!!!!!!! yall r sick and stupid he dosent look like a girl r yall om crack???????        Lady posts on 1/22/2005 10:04:39 AM i don't think that the hobbits were feminine, the feet cancelled out the eyelashes. But i do have to say that I do see the resemblence in legolas' hair. gross.        The commentator Burrahobbit posts on 1/22/2005 1:49:55 AM fan girls are evil fan girls are evil fan girls are evil fan girls are evil fang girls are evil... I mean fan girls are evil. Fang girls would be cool. Click here to post a message Other Recent J.R.R.
