'Hobbit' actor Aidan Turner stops mugger at film festival Can't Post

02 - Aidan Turner as KiliAccording to the UK's Mirror, Aidan Turner was talking to a fan who had her handbag stolen during the conversation. And then he took action.

"He quickly managed to catch up with the thief, pulling him off his bike and grabbing the handbag."

The article explains that Turner isn't actually as short as his character (seriously) and after the event he said,

"It's great to be a real hero for a change rather than just an on-screen one. I think the rescue though was more like something from Indiana Jones than the Hobbit."

You can read the whole story right here.

Good for him! [In reply to] Can't Post

And now one fan can say he's her real-life hero. Smile

Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..."
Dwarves: "Pretty rings..."
Men: "Pretty rings..."
Sauron: "Mine's better."

"Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded beggar with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.

They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; These see the works of the Lord, and His wonders in the deep.

“Tollers,” Lewis said to Tolkien, “there is too little of what we really like in stories. I am afraid we shall have to try and write some ourselves.”

Quick reaction! [In reply to] Can't Post

Things like that happen so quickly, one often can't react immediately. And the split-seconds are crucial.

Go Aidan! Cool
