Actor Charlie Vickers has reprised his role as the enigmatic elf Halbrand, and much of the new season is set to showcase his journey. During an interview where he spoke about his role, the actor shockingly revealed his biggest fear. It wasn’t about the complexity of his character or the demands of filming, but about his costume. The actor’s statement was very valid and realistic given his circumstances.
The unlikely fear of the Lord of the Rings star
Charlie Vickers played the role of an elf named Halbrand in the first season of the series. The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power. Fans of The Lord of the Rings have been waiting patiently for a second season, which is finally about to air. Vickers also reprised his role as the mysterious Dark Elf, delighting fans.
In an interview on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” the Australian actor revealed a lot about his role. Vickers said that his biggest concern during filming was not his performance, but his outfit.
It takes me an hour to take everything off.
We all know that costumes and makeup take up a lot of the actor’s time, especially in the fantasy genre. Since he was playing an elf, he had an elaborate costume with prosthetics that took a lot of time to put on and take off.
It was kind of scary because my wife was nine months pregnant and I dressed up like that every day.
The Medici The actor also talked about his wife being pregnant and the possibility that she could go into labor at any time. Since he always wore a costume on set, he was worried that removing his prosthetics would take too long.
Each ear takes 45 minutes, which is one and a half hours of prosthetics.
A particularly challenging part of his costume was his elf ears. They looked so realistic because he spent a lot of time making them. It took 45 minutes or more to take them off, which made his fear all too real. The actor joked with Fallon, saying he had to show up at the hospital in costume.
I was terrified that I (as an elf) would have to go to the hospital.
This nightmare confused him on set because it seemed completely plausible, like it could happen. Most fathers don’t want to show up to the birth of their child with elf ears. But it could turn out to be a funny incident that he could remember every year.
What happens next with Sauron/Halfrand in season 2?
The Palm Beach The star also spoke about his exciting role in the upcoming season. Ever since the first season revealed in a shocking twist that Halbrand was actually the Dark Lord Sauron in disguise, fans have been thirsting for his adventure.
It’s a pretty dark, intense season. It’s a little different from the first season.
The show, according to Vickers, will have a dark and gritty tone and explore more about his character’s journey. Since the premise is very different from the original source, Lord of the Rings fans are speculating and coming up with all sorts of theories.
Season 2 of The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power will be released on August 29, 2024 on Amazon Prime Video.
