Very strange. Richard and I had some very intense scenes together. In real life we are about the same size, but in the film he is a dwarf and I am even taller than in reality. And so we rehearsed together, but each filmed on their own – and that was very complicated because our movements still had to fit together. It was like a dance without music, but with a very complicated choreography. And when I saw some of these scenes completely done for the first time I was completely blown away. Especially because the surrounding is so beautiful: The underground realm of Thranduil has become staggering in its magical gloom – and Mirkwood, the forest above, is almost psychedelic.
