A fun little tidbit

[bunniewabbit.livejournal.com]

I was poking around (as you do) and found an article dated March 3, 2007, but I do believe that it's from January '06 (surely it wouldn't be January of this year? I'm losing track of dates, here):

Stranded on a corner with Elijah Wood and Billy Boyd

EDIT: sssneaking figured it out: it was the Sundance Film Festival of '05. Weird that it's dated so recently!

Help! Help! I can't see it "You do not have permission to unscreen this comment".

What she said. ^ ^ ^ ^

me too :(

[bunniewabbit.livejournal.com]

Sorry -- try it now!

[bunniewabbit.livejournal.com]

Sorry -- pasted the wrong linky. Works now!

[bunniewabbit.livejournal.com]

Fixed! Sorry.

[sssneaking.livejournal.com]

No problem. Thanks very much for the link...

I wonder if the SUV was somebody they knew, via some hotel or just the power of one of those fancy Black credit cards with a 24 hour concierge service ready to sort out your every need.

[ladysnaps.livejournal.com]

hehehe.. that's a pretty good story.

i'll tell you what. if it were me, and i had my truck ready to serve, i wouldn't care what was in the back seat because they both would be in the front with me.

no dirty minds here. :)

thanks for that. it was just what i needed.

Thanks for the article. Cute!

I believe On a Clear Day was shown at the Edinburgh Film Festival when EII was. So this must have happened in August, 2005. I wonder why "Frankie" didn't post the story until March 3, 2007. The movie has been out for a long time.

I'll bet Billy called someone he knew in Edinburgh and that's who came to pick them up.

[bunniewabbit.livejournal.com]

Edinburgh was my first thought, as well, but the article clearly states January. So, I'm wondering if it coincided with when Billy was in town for ORC last year, maybe? We need a billy girl here to tell us for sure!

[bunniewabbit.livejournal.com]

By "in town," I mean that maybe it premiered in LA around that time.

I'm with you. But that was a guy it happened to...you and I would definitely respond differently. *g*

Wood Would we ever!

I'm pretty sure this is the Sundance Premiere of On A Clear Day (some time in Jan 2005). The site in the link is a Utah site plus a quick google shows that Elijah was there for that premiere (e.g. a picture at Always And Forever).

[bunniewabbit.livejournal.com]

Ah, that makes perfect sense! I'll bet you're right. The only other times I could remember them being somewhere with multiple premieres was Edinburgh or Toronto, and this was clearly not one of those. Thanks!

[yeuxdebleu.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you're right. I just read the article again, so disregard what I said above.

I wonder whose publicist it was that screwed up. If they were in LA, most likely it would have been Elijah's.

[yeuxdebleu.livejournal.com]

Gawd, but you're good. I'm going to start calling you Sherlocke. :>D

[sssneaking.livejournal.com]

Not at all. It's just elementary, my dear yeuxdebleu. :-)

[yeuxdebleu.livejournal.com]

LOL...touche.

[chickenlegs-11.livejournal.com]

What a lovely article! Very low key, no gushing, but still managed to convey Elijah's class and beauty! Thanks for sharing this.

[frolijah-fan-54.livejournal.com]

Thanks, bunnie. Cute story - and how like them to be so low key about it? Can you imagine many other celebrities who would have been that cool about it? Why couldn't they need a ride when I'm around? *sigh*

[http://users.livejournal.com/_celebrian/]

That's a great story. Thanks for the link. :-)

[annwyn55.livejournal.com]

What a nice read and a lovely description of Elijah! I can squee at the thought of two hobbits together and feel pride that they were such gentlemen - in the truest sense of the word. *sighs*

HART

His skin seemed translucent and unbelievably clear. His brown hair still had childlike softness and his slight build made it easy to believe he had just arrived from Middle-Earth.

i adore that description

[pipinatuc.livejournal.com]

Thanx for the link and cute story!

[chicoriumeyes.livejournal.com]

45 min is a long wait! I would have offered a lift in my truck so quickly, and even let Elijah be the first person to smoke in it!

[mole-caz.livejournal.com]

I'm sure I wouldn't have been that patient! Thanks for sharing.

[janejanejane.livejournal.com]

Thanks for sharing this interesting and well-written story. Billy and Elijah are such darlings! :)

[owlgrey.livejournal.com]

They are both so sweet.

"His skin seemed translucent and unbelievably clear. His brown hair still had childlike softness and his slight build made it easy to believe he had just arrived from Middle-Earth."

Was this guy gay or something?? lmao

wasnt this the same festival where there was a vid of him puttin on lip balm and Pam was sat next to him, if so I'm surprised that Pam wasn't with them or even Ali, Billy's longtime girlfriend.

[bunniewabbit.livejournal.com]

Yes, this is the same festival. No clue why Pamela wasn't with them, but I don't think Ali was even there. At least, I don't recall seeing photos of her at the festival.
