26. Pranks
Ahh, everybody loves a good prank. And a good few pranks happened both on and off set for these films.
Bernard Hill somehow kept a straight face!
One of the more famous pranks included Viggo Mortensen changing all his lines in a serious scene with Bernard Hill (King Théoden). Instead of following the script, Viggo (as Aragorn) says,
“They will take you into a dark room, my Lord, and scan your very skull. They will make toys of your Lordship, ten thousand at least, for children to play stupid games with.”

Hah! Bernard Hill looks very confused in the footage. Not only that, but John Rhys-Davies played a prank on Peter Jackson.
