Sean Astin is recounting the hard time he received from his colleagues while filming The Lord of the Rings trilogy in what sounds like some bouts of gentle roasting. But the jabs at Astin’s expense may have actually been for the sake of the filmmaking, it turns out.
During a recent Q&A panel he co-hosted with co-star Elijah Wood at Rose City Comic Con in Portland, Oregon, Astin joked that the film projects he likes best were the ones where he was “really skinny.” By that metric, he has great fondness for The Color of Magic miniseries from 2008 since he was “running all the time” back then. He joked that The Lord of the Rings “blew,” by comparison, since he had to put on weight to properly portray the role of Samwise Gamgee.
