Frodo: Hey little guy! Who gave you such a cute sword and shield!?
Who gave you such a cute sword and shield!?
Boromir: 👉👈 my dad… (I’m his favorite.)
For those who didn’t read the books, Frodo was 33 when Bilbo vanished and left him his prized ring. Then Gandalf took 17 years to go research the ring before he discovered it’s likely the One Ring. When he returned, Frodo was 50. But being a Hobbit, he still looks small and youthful.
Can you imagine starting the Fellowship journey on foot at 50 years old?! Especially after a chill, quiet life where the most exercise you’ve done is tilling your garden. I’m in my early 40s and the idea of walking more than a mile makes my legs and back ache.
50 is also young adulthood for a hobbit
where the most exercise you’ve done is tilling your garden
… on the rare occasion that Samwise has a day off.
You better start exercising more now. If you carry on like that you’ll definitely regret it as you get older. Source: being an old fart myself.
The ring also slowed down his aging during those 17 years.
That or Elijah Wood has a great skin care regimen
You should start taking walks if you have the time. I also don’t exercise that much, but at age 44 I started making walks every day, most days 4 kilometers, sundays a bit more. In the beginning it would take me almost an hour, today I can do it in 40 minutes.
I still couldn’t imagine starting the Fellowship journey though, the walking isn’t even half of it!
go on walks, eat fibre, switch to diet soda. The three horsemen of not spending the last 10 years of your life wanting to die
Damn and Boromir was only 41. I thought him to be as old as Aragorn (88)
If your only reference is the movies, you’d think he was 20 cause the movie i don’t think explicitly brings up his age. In the book the gaps between events are bigger so he ages quite a bit after bilbo leaves and before he goes on his quest
“I said little, not young. You short, buddy.”
You’re also little. Like 4 foot nothing. Also your feet stank; haven’t you ever heard of shoes?
I’d wager bare feet smell less bad than feet trapped in shoes all day.
considering hobbit habits, they probably just smell permanently of garden soil, with a hint of pipeweed smoke
