LOTR brothers stick together...
 

A friend of mine sent me this picture, which I think is cool... These guys got so close during LOTR films, which they admit to being almost like brothers. I think it is cool... It is almost like a fraternity in a way... I guess... anyway, they are supporting Viggo's new film Hidalgo, which had its big opening and is supposed to rock... Has anyone seen it? I have like 3 movies I want to see, and I don't know what to see 1st...

Viggo def looks better with long hair.

I'm sorry... but Eljiah Wood is always going to look like his 12 to me. And he is MY age!

I remember reading that those guys all got a tattoo of the number 9 on their ankles. Apparently "9" is of some importance in the LOTR series. I thought that was cool :)

Viggo is so yummy. I disagree with ya, AGDLynn, about him looking better with long hair. I thought he was HOT in "Crimson Tide" :D

There were 9 members of the fellowship:

Frodo
Sam
Merry
Pippin
Gimley
Legolas
Aragorn
Boromir
Gandolf

I believe there were also 9 humans kings which were given rings.

Three Rings for the elven kings under the sky
Seven for the dwarf lords in the halls of stone
Nine for mortal men doomed to die
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the land of Mordor whare the shadows lie
One Ring to rule them all
One Ring to find them
One Ring to bring them all
And in the darkness bind them
In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie

I am sorry, I am sorry, I am sorry... I am a LOTR dork, I know... and proud of it... Has anyone seen this new Hidalgo as of yet? I know some of you said you were going to see it.

I was right :)

they all did get the tattoo, but put it in different places.
the only two that have show in are sean (his is on his ankle) and elijah (his is on his hipbone)

Orlando has one on his wrist... I think.

However I thought I read that the 9 cast members all got different tattoos in elvish. They were all numbers... but one cast member got a #1, another: 2 , another: 3, etc etc etc.

Maybe I read that article wrong.

Nah, I'm probably the one who misread the article. I know there was a 9 in there somewhere, though! lol

Being a shameless, teenybopper-esque Orlando fan, I can confirm that this is true.

Actually KRose... I was wrong.

"A Marked Man: Orlando has two tattoos -- a sun on his stomach and the Elvish symbol for the number "nine" on his forearm. (He and eight of his LOTR castmates got inked with the Elvish marking to commemorate making the films.)"

they all got "9" in elvish.
