Recently, Orlando revealed that while he loved being a part of The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, he’s ready to move on.

“I feel like I need to get rid of the blonde wig and pointy ears for a while,” he told BBC Radio 1.

Orlando continued, saying: “I want to just kind of let it all hang out – let it fly, let it loose. I need to get down and dirty, you know, a bit aggressive and show this whole other side of me.”
