Elijah is best known for his iconic role as Frodo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

He said one of his most treasured possessions is a ring from the making of the movie.

When asked by The Guardian about his most “treasured possessions in a 2014 interview, the actor said, “My vinyl records. I also treasure my ring from The Lord Of The Rings. Andy Serkis has one; I think Martin Freeman has one, too.”

“They were bestowed upon us by Peter Jackson as a gift for working on the films,” he added.

“Bless him. Such a good guy. All happiness to you, Elwood,” one fan said online
