Saturday Film Review: Woods Wants McEvoy as Hobbit

Friends and family of Lord of the Rings star Elijah Woods are today remaining tight lipped about the star's whereabouts, after he fantasised aloud about dressing British actor James McEvoy up as a Hobbit and taking him on a quest. Other pals however, state that Elijah has become somewhat obsessed by Hobbits since his seventeen years filming the epic trilogy.

Elijah's agent dismissed the reported comments, saying his client was "clearly joking", even though he was found rummaging through the studio's wardrobe department at the time, looking for the big, fake feet he and the other actors wore for filming.

Privately, a close friend admitted that Elijah had a bit of a thing for James, after seeing him as Mr. Tumnus in the Chronicles of Narnia. He also revealed that Elijah had spent a fortune voting for Chris Hollins and Ola Jordan to win Strictly Come Dancing, and that he cleared his bank account out to pay his phone bill when the BBC announced that the semi-final was down to public vote only.

"We're all very concerned about the cost of voting for Dancing on Ice now," said the close friend. "He's taken a real shine to Danny Young and is badgering the studio to come up with a long lost brother for Bilbo."
