Hugo Weaving revealed he doesn't feel connected to The Lord of the Rings films, viewing his role as Elrond more as a job than a passion, describing his experience in Rivendell as tedious compared to his co-stars' action-packed arcs.
Weaving expressed a lack of interest in revisiting Middle-earth, having grown weary from spending years in the role of Elrond, which he found less significant than what fans perceive.
Reflecting on the disparity between fan affection and actor sentiment, Weaving noted that while the films are treasured by audiences, to him they feel like just another paycheck.
This sentiment echoes the experiences of other famous actors in genre films, like Alec Guinness, who was disenchanted by his role in Star Wars, suggesting that the enthusiasm for such movies doesn't always extend to those who create them.
