Iagweth, Natalie Portman is short...but there is another elf who was played by a relatively short actress(Galadriel). Cate Blanchet had to wear booster shoes in order to gain the proper height of an elf.

Miranda Otto wore a wig? Are you sure? I saw her in interviews, and her hair looked practically the same, if a little shorter and styled different. (And not everyone wore a wig, that's definitely Viggo's stringy hair dyed darker. )

Heh, heh Diamond18. No, I'm sure everyone wore a wig. Miranda's hair does look pretty much the same, but it's a little redder. Plus PJ decided to go with the sure thing & not risk any 'bad hair days' . But seriously, no one in LotR will be shown with their own hair.

To be honest, everytime I see Liv Tyler, I think of her appearance in playboy. (I never really saw it, mind you, but I've heard a lot about it)

Everyone wore a wig? I thought there were at least a couple of characters with their own hair. I'm pretty certain I read about Viggo having extensions.

That can't be Viggo's real hair, it must be a wig because his hair is sort of reddish, not nearly as dark as in the movies; and I'm pretty positive that everyone wore a wig except for maybe Liv? She probably had extensions though...

Hair color means nothing, because hair can easily be dyed. I think people are having trouble accepting your statement, Estel, because you're backing it up with nothing more than an assumption. I know from the special features that a lot of people wore wigs for the movie, but that doesn't automatically mean everyone. I remember seeing a photograph of the actors standing around out of costume, and Viggo had long hair. Why would he wear a wig out of costume? I'll try to find that picture again, but right now I have to go to work. Eek.

Meela · 09-08-2003, 11:56 AM

Viggo could easily use his own hair. He's had darkish hair before, and it's been long. He's not the sort to need a wig.And I'm sure I've seen Liv putting on a wig...

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> and it's been long.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Yes, but he didn't this time. How could he grow it out when he only had 24 hours notice that he'd even be playing Aragorn? I'm not basing this on assumption, I've read it before (or heard it?) in a documentary on LotR, I'll try to find it, but don't get your hopes up.
