It’s been twenty years since the first part of The Lords of the Rings was released.
The first part was “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” released on 19th December, 2001. It’s been 18 years since the last part came out. The final film “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” was released on 17th December, 2003. We can still remember what a masterpiece it was. It was the best cinematic fantasy film of the time and people went crazy for it. We can never forget how Frodo, the Ring-bearer destroyed a ring in the fires of Mount Doom. The role of Frodo Baggins was played by American actor, Elijah Wood, who was 20 when “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” was released. He is twice his age now. All the actors who appeared in this iconic film have changed so much in these twenty years. Here, we have a compilation that shows how Lord of the Rings’ actors have changed over eighteen years.
