Elijah Wood Answers the Web's Most Searched Questions | WIRED
I have some better questions for him: - Does he wear wigs? - Has he worn wigs? - Will he wear wigs? - When will he wear wigs?
I'll do you one better: WHY does Elijah Wood wig?
Does he kick balls?
7:52
*vigs
ven vill he vear vigs
Then: "Do you wear wigs?" "No" "Will you wear wigs?" "I don't know" Now: "Occasionally"
he wearsss wigsss finally
He was such a good sport for that video. Respect.
"Ven will you wear wigs?"
Lol
"WHEN WILL YOU WEAR WIGS? "
Elijah: "I guess... boring american?" Daniel: "I guess... boring english?"
IkR
WTF they ARE the same person!
Of course! He's a Bagins!
Omg 😲 true! 😂😂😂 I guess no one is ever satisfied with what they've got.
The same time, exciting German for E and exciting Jewish for D.
I love how he actually answered all the questions honestly and really well. A lot of celebrities just turn it into a joke, which is fine, but this was refreshing
Could NOT agree more. Frustrating when some ppl. Just give a dozen half-assed answers and it’s done in 2mins. Like we learn nothing about them as a person. He seems dope
You would love Cara Delevigne one. Talk about a person who didn't want to do this.
#hairs
I don't think I've ever seen one where someone didn't give good answers. I've only seen a few, but this one, the Dominic Monaghan/Billy Boyd one, the Paul McCartney one, and the Daniel Craig/Lashana Lynch one are all really good.
Elijah Wood seems like a celebrity who’s forgotten he’s famous
Yes. And Tobey Maguire as well.
he's a has been
He seems to not let it get to his head. He seems like an person you'd meet up with to have coffee or just hang out listening to some music
Well he’s been out of the limelight for a while so that’s definitely a possibility
I met him as well and he was sweet and congenial and unassuming and not like that other poster says at all. And his friends were lovely sweethearts. They all sang karaoke with us. It was one of their birthdays I believe. He sung along to some of the songs, too.
"I didn't go to college. My university time was taken up in Middle Earth." There will never be a harder flex than that.
I was the 420th like lol.
@@maxscardanelli6185 no i was liar
@@maxscardanelli6185 "424 of the second age"
He answered cool and smart way.
Imagine saying that at a job interview \m/😂😂😂
I love that, all these years later, he’s still has no problem talking about LOTR
That’s an underrated aspect for sure, actors usually seem to get sick and tired of talking about their most successful roles and films even tho it’s to be expected that they’d get asked questions about it but he’s more than happy to talk about it
But Jesus you love him no matter what…
why would he have one ?
I love how thorough he is with his answers. He actually cares and is happy to be here.
Couldn't agree more, great interview, one of the best imo. After watching this he is def bullish on my list of celebs id love to have a drink or hang out with lol. Seems very cool, mellow, sincere and just a good dude.
What does Elijah Wood look like now ? Big blue eyes. Big. Blue.
yEs
Gol-
*smiles angrily at Elijah*
Yes, this is the reason why he is famous.
@migaloo I watch this interview at least once a week, it's absolutely necessary
How does he manage to look like Tobey Maguire, Daniel Radcliffe and Eminem all at the same time?

@@emiliarosales6790 😂🤣😂🤣
With a lot of effort xDDDD
It’s the power of the ring
"'How did they make Elijah Wood small?' In the Lord of the Rings... I'm assuming" lmao
😆
What else it would be 😂🤣
Lmfao
the fact that "Elijah Woods is stealing your socks" is one of the web's most searched questions is just amazing... And the fact that is not even written as a question hahaha
I'd be okay with this lolol
His response is hilarious: "How did they find out?! I thought I was being so sneaky!" 😅
He’s such a down to earth guy, middle-earth to be exact...
Shut up and take my like !
Gonna start using that. "You sure are a down to middle-earth guy"
hahahaahahaha
And that other location he was in too! Uh...uh... it was pretty...Unknown...really..
YES
His laugh is the most adorable thing. Like a pigeon who's found an abandoned sandwich.
how does one even make this shockingly accurate observation
Its scary
😂
Lol
Haha 😆
For someone who didn't graduate high school, he's incredibly articulate and has an above-average vocabulary.
He didn't graduate not because of lack of -- but because he was acting
To be fair, United States High School education isn't exactly an indicator for a well-educated person...
@@peterlewis2178 no school education is exact indication of well-educated. The only sure way you can indicate is by meeting the person and talking to the person. However, high school education, etc is a good approximation.
@@bern9642 Well, the problem with US High School education, though, is that it's so inconsistent. In a lot of parts of the country, you can graduate without learning basically anything. Or at least, not learning anything that really indicates what most people call being well-educated. Most well-spoken "well educated" people in the US have either self-teaching or some kind of private schooling to thank for it, not the public school system.
@@peterlewis2178 true
I love how committed he is to giving quality answers. This is so entertaining.
the ones where the people joke around instead of actually answering are actually more boring than ones like this. he's so genuine and interesting
When he laughs, I feel the Shire.
Why did I laugh so hard at this comment
Yeeeep
Yep, love it! xx
i laughed too hard at that
That's why he doesn't age
Elijah Wood’s giggle is like if Winnie the Pooh became the Joker. As if he couldn’t possibly be a cooler human being...
So, like Kaa then? ;)
08:56 I guess that's something Winnie the Pooh would say.
Dr. Giggles
it made me shiver every time
😂😂👏👏
Bless this child and his frozen pizza and the girlfriend that puts up with it.
I mean it's Elijah Wood - any woman would love to have the chance to put up with that ;)
@@ynpavo Good point.
Elijah is now 41. My childhood heroes are getting old, but I'm getting old with him. It's beautiful but melancholic. Treasure every moment, friends.
And yet he still has energy of a 20-year-old!
"Why is Elijah Wood hot?" Elijah: I didn't know, thanks. All right then. Keep your secrets.
Underrated comment
Genius
Yes.
"My parents" - Elijah Wood
BEST COMMENT
One of the few child actors who grew up to be a cool, talented, well-adjusted adult. Props to him for staying "normal".
Finn I don’t think we heard the same laugh
Mathew Lennon you forgot rupert grint and emma watson
I think his mom worked really hard to make sure he turned out okay. I think it's easy for the stars, but also for their parents to let the fame go to their heads. Props to his parents for raising a good guy!
@@OllieMossMusic person said one of few, not the only one
Is Kirsten Dunst an example?
I think this is by far the best self-interview of this kind. He is SO easy going and humble and adorable and answer everything so well... really cool!
God bless elijah wood man, he’s so down to earth, so humble and cool.
down to middle earth
His laugh is both innocent and disturbing at the same time, like The Joker.
when he laughs after 'what do you eat' all I could think was 'people'
I have my new joker request
Your profil pict is disturbing
@@darrenb9359 hahaha XD
Disturbing to a spoiled kid maybe
his little hobbit laugh is amazing
I mean he never laughed like that as a hobbit in any of the films idk why that’s a hobbit laugh lol but it’s unique that’s for sure
Right? That was adorable.
Boi have you ever heard his laugh in that old prank interview with Dominic Moneghan? That was amazing lmao u should check it out
No One that prank interview is legendary. “The dolphin...is dead. Killed in car accident”.
@@NoOne-hl2eo oceanmists17 thanks guys, just watched it and i think i've never laughed so hard. not sure my neighbours liked it tho
"Is Elijah Wood a dj?" "Yeah" I would pay to see Frodo Baggins dj a party in a nightclub
I doubt theyd let you in free anyway
Yeah I saw him DJ in Denver back in 2016 at a night club here.
That's Master Baggins Lord of the Vinyl
DO YOU SCRATCH
In 2016 I've seen Elijah Wood deejaying in Poland. He was awesome
Wow, he's so genuine. Ahh, these answers are usually delivered so sarcastically and his were SO sincere and I appreciate it so much, it actually makes me a little emotional.
He is such a sweet man...clearly a gentle soul.
Elijah's Favorite foods: 1. Pizza 2. Frozen pizza

> admits to having the one ring > absolutely does not age

hmmmmm 👀
I connected the dot
COINCIDENCE !?!?!? I THINK NOT !!!!
@Kirsty Forshaw exactly lolll
Adorable laugh, loves pizza, has Hobbit in his heart and soul forever, never ages. He's amazing on every level ❤️
I love this interview . He doesnt just simply answer the questions . He always tells a story & stuff
His laugh is just the purest thing.
Almost Joker-esque!
@@crypt0nym0ussec57 I didn't know I wanted that until just now.
Niimpä
Such a fun giggle!
Reminds me of Nick Offerman's laughter. It's awesome.
Today is the day I learned about Elijah's adorable giggle.
You call it adorable?it creep me out..😅😅
IKR its like when you see a dog eat a hot dog... ots adorably clumsy...
it's indeed adorable
Jeff Brando his girlfriend like it only thing that counts lol
It sounds like Mark Hamill's Joker laugh.
Just him going "How do they know? I'm so discreet!" About the socks thing is too funny.
I love his laughter 😂 He seems so normal and nice 😊
"Does Elijah Wood play spiderman" "No, but I've played the video game" +20 respect
@Evita Holli plagirised
HOW DID HE NOT REALIZE THAT THE QUESTION ABOUT WIGS WAS A REFERENCE TO THAT PRANK INTERVIEW?!?
Best Video ever
Exactly omg !! I was screaming inside
I mean to be fair it has been 10 years hahah
@@Yiyiyihan yeah fair enough
@@Yiyiyihan 10? Try 16 years
He seems like he remained on the ground much more than other actors his age. He looks so natural and nice, like the guy next door😊
“Does Elijah wood wear wigs?” “Will he wear wigs?”
Vhen vill he vhear vigs?
Elijah Wood is that one actor who seems British although he's clearly speaking in an American accent. Is it just me? 😂😂😂
He's been best mates with Dominic Monaghan for twenty years. I guess some of it rubbed off.
New Zealand likes to think of him as a New Zealander.
He does have a slight accent, the way he talks is unique and I wonder what that is exactly. Other than his sweetness 🥺
LOL I always thought he was british until I saw this video. I'm surprised
I don't know why, but I keep forgetting he's American and getting startled when he opens his mouth and speaks with an American accent.
Elijah Wood could be anywhere. He could be stealing your socks right now.
😂😂😂😂
Sneaky little hobbitses!
*me looking back and seeing Elijah stealing my socks in my wardrobe*
and i would let him.
I nervously looked up at my dresser after reading that
I love how in depth he went into each answer. Like the scaling question, I feel like a lot of actors would’ve summed it up quickly but he went into each method he could think of right away.
Some kid in a video game: “Who are you?” Elijah Wood: “I’m the guy.”
Dude I completely forgot that time he was in spy Kids for like 2 scenes 😂
I love that he seems still totally happy to talk about LOTR after all these years, like it was genuinely such a joyful experience he doesn’t tire of discussing it
Yes! What we usually see is actors or actresses who once starred in a huge movie/franchise, ended up hating them because they became typecasted to the character they played in. I think Elijah is too, but he doesn’t seem to be bothered at all.
It was his 'university' experience, more or less. I think it's such a big part of his life that he sees it as more than just the filming of some movies.
So true... then there’s Joaquin... can’t even talk about a movie months afterwards lol But ya gotta love em both.
@@Campbell464 The joker movie was bombarded by the media (if that"s the movie you're referring to, if not then my bad). I think most people would prefer to chill instead of go to another interview with the same political questions over and over again
Hmmm, i dont know, hes an actor. They are good at... acting.
Is this guy aware that he played one of the most iconic roles in one of the best movies of history?
Yeah, Harry Potter is my hero 😍
Ha ha.. so funny
He also was a child actor...so he kinda is used to the fame
Not one of the best movies of history... THE BEST movie in history
@@Derekre4 Ya need to calm down, it's a great movie, but there are far greater once.
Him like Radcliffe, the familiarity and safe comfort feeling they gave me warms my soul.
Oh he’s treating these questions like a real interview this is just lovely 😊
“does Elijah wood play spider-man.” *giggles maniacally* “in the movie?”
I have a strong feeling that some random casting dude Will look at this and boom there you have your new Joker for the next Batman flick.
Imagine if Spiderman helped the Fellowship in the trilogy lol
*giggle maniacally* are the best describing words for elijah wood
For a second, I thought he'd say: "well, in the movie, no, but in real life tho... yeah, I'm Spider-Man! 😎"
He looks like live action Golem, walking amongus
He looks like a family friendly version of Eminem
FVCK NOW I CANT UNSEE IT
No
😂😂😂
omg
I also see some Mac Demarco in there
His giggles are so pure.❤
his laugh is beautiful
Elijah wood expressing his love for frozen pizza is honestly everything.
He's turning into a Hobbit. Anyone checked his feet hair?
Now we know how to lure him to places, lets have a frozen pizza convention, see if we can summon him
It's nice to know that Frodo is the kind of guy you can hang out with.
yeah, his hair line says the same
"I have the one ring" "Does Elijah Wood age?" Well someone wasn't paying attention.
Spot on
Underapreciated
Wow.
Lmao great comment

"I love food too much." -spoken like true shirefolk.
"Did you go to college?" "Nah, I went to Middle Earth."
Heheh *relatable*
10:17
If given the chance most people would make that decision
That will be the coolest CV ever
I dont wanna go to college TvT but i have too
His giggle 🥹🥹
Glances over “I have the one ring.” Spends 5 minutes on delight of frozen pizza. 🤣🤣🤣
“Does Elijah wood have a personal life?” Elijah: is barely offended and actually explains what he does in his free time
I sort of expected him to simply answer "no", and move on.
@Suffer No Fools other celebs they have on this show seem to dislike these sort of questions though
I guess you can be kind of offended by extreme stupidity. Not in a personal way, but more in a "What the heck. Are people really that dumb?!" kind of way.
@Suffer No Fools maybe. it's an awkward question but elijah woods was gracious enough to answer it. respect for him. no need to call the people liking the comment dumb
@Suffer No Fools yeah it seems like he was getting frustrated too by the end of it
Elijah Woods looks like a fusion between Eminem and Toby Maguire.
Well atleast he looks like a good fusion
J Wiz lol
spider rapper
@@cheatsykoopa98 lmao
@@enriquejoygomes now that's an Avenger's level threat
He still sounds like a amiable sort of guy, I could imagine myself playing some video/board games with him over a drink and some snacks. And never feeling like I just wanted to leave.
This is so excellently enlightening. Elijah is exceptional at sharing his experience.
“I DJ” Imagine you’re at a club and all of a sudden Frodo Baggins comes up and DJ’s
He scratches
Dj frodo Does anybody want to hear the mordor mix!!!
*they're taking the hobbits to isengard!*
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
A child star who isn’t problematic. He’s a treasure.
Look at the reasons why they grow up to be problematic though
Hiding in plain sight is a good tactic
It’s why him and Dan Radcliffe are always mixed up as well not just looks
I wouldn't call him a child star. He did act as a child but he became famous after lotr in which he acted when he was around 20.
Both him and Sean Astin were actors as kids, so it's pretty cool that both of them turned out to be pretty cool adults instead of having a lot of problems
Does Elijah Woods wear wigs? Has Elijah Woods ever worn wigs? Will Elijah Woods wear wigs? When will Elijah Woods wear wigs?
"Where is Elijah Wood now?" on this video and "What is Daniel Radcliffe age?" on Daniel's are answered the same way. Please do a film/series together soon :D

I've followed Elijah since Back to The Future 2! He made me cry on "Radio Flyer" and on "The Good Son". It's been lovely to watch him grow both as an actor and as a great human being. He's got a great histrionic range and he's already a big name! I hope we enjoy him on the screen for much more long!
