At the very end of the trilogy, Samwise Gamgee is seen to get married to Rosie Cotton – a local Shire girl.

But when this shot was being filmed, most of the crew and his fellow cast-mates were also present.
The other hobbits turned up to celebrate
To try and incite a happy reaction out of the two actors, Viggo Mortensen hatched a plan.

When the two turned around to look at the onlooking crowd, Viggo grabbed a hold of fellow actor Billy Boyd (Pippin) and planted a kiss on his lips.
Not at all expected…
Billy Boyd had absolutely no inkling that Viggo was planning to do this, and was as shocked as the rest. But at least they got a great reaction out of the wedded couple!
