There are a couple of references during the interview&#8211; one about a  shnook&#8221;, the other about a pool&#8211; that allude to Dave&#8217;s interview with Mariah Carey earlier in the show, which you wouldn&#8217;t get if you hadn&#8217;t seen that, but you wouldn&#8217;t really be missing much.<\/p>\n<p>From &#8220;The Late Show with David Letterman&#8221; (CBS)<\/p>\n<p>DAVID LETTERMAN: Our next guest is a talented actor. He stars in the new epic motion picture &#8220;The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring&#8221;. It opens December 19th. Here&#146;s Elijah Wood.<br \/>(applause)<br \/>ELIJAH WOOD: (points to mug on the edge of the desk) Is this for me or is it for you?<br \/>DAVE: It&#146;s all yours.<br \/>ELIJAH: Oh, cheers, man.<br \/>DAVE: How ya doing?<br \/>ELIJAH: Very well.<br \/>DAVE: Good.<br \/>ELIJAH: Overwhelmed. This movie&#146;s coming out; it&#146;s the biggest thing I&#146;ve ever been a part of.<br \/>DAVE: Why don&#146;t you tell us a little bit about yourself, then we&#146;ll talk about the film. You&#146;re like, a kid, right? You&#146;re going to be 21?<br \/>ELIJAH: I&#146;m going to be 21.<br \/>DAVE: Yeah, that&#146;s a kid.<br \/>(applause)<br \/>ELIJAH: Thank you, thank you. I&#146;ve always felt older than I was, so finally I feel like I&#146;m catching up with myself.<br \/>DAVE: Tell me about your early life. How did you begin in show business, where are you from, what did you do?<br \/>ELIJAH: I&#146;m originally from Iowa, actually, and I&#133;<br \/>(scattered applause)<br \/>ELIJAH: Oh, are there people from Iowa here? Fantastic! And then I sort of moved to Los Angeles, started auditioning, and one thing led after another.<br \/>DAVE: You moved with your family? Is that what?<br \/>ELIJAH: Yeah, we all moved out there.<br \/>DAVE: Why did the whole family go to California from Iowa?<br \/>ELIJAH: Basically for me and my brother to kind of pursue acting. My brother got out of it early and I kind of kept going, and here I am.<br \/>DAVE: It&#146;s turned out pretty well, hasn&#146;t it?<br \/>ELIJAH: Pretty well. I&#146;m very lucky.<br \/>DAVE: And you did this movie in New Zealand, is that correct?<br \/>ELIJAH: I did. I lived there for 16 months, unbelievably.<br \/>DAVE: Wow.<br \/>ELIJAH: It was a life experience. It was profound.<br \/>DAVE: I understand it&#146;s physically quite a lovely place, but other than that, what was it like? Were you there on your own?<br \/>ELIJAH: I was there on my own, had my own house, had my own car. Aside from making the movie, I had my own life there, which is pretty incredible. And we got into some pretty crazy stuff. I learned to surf while I was there, which is amazing, and did this thing called paraponting&#133;<br \/>DAVE: Para&#133; I&#146;m sorry, what is the word? Para&#151;<br \/>ELIJAH: Paraponting.<br \/>DAVE: Paraponting?<br \/>ELIJAH: Yes.<br \/>DAVE: P-o-n-t-i-n-g?<br \/>ELIJAH: I think that&#146;s how you spell it.<br \/>DAVE: I&#146;ve not heard of that.<br \/>ELIJAH: You get a parachute and you jump off a hill and you kind of ride the air.<br \/>(scattered laughter)<br \/>ELIJAH: Exactly.<br \/>DAVE: You can also do the same thing by jumping out of a shnook.<br \/>(laughter)<br \/>ELIJAH: A shnook. As&#151; I was watching. As she was saying.<br \/>DAVE: A shnook.<br \/>(applause)<br \/>ELIJAH: Right.<br \/>DAVE: And the people in New Zealand have a real zest for life, they love that kind of dangerous stuff, don&#146;t they?<br \/>ELIJAH: They do. They love bungee jumping, jumping out of planes, snowboarding, that sort of thing. I didn&#146;t go bungee jumping. I think I was a little too nervous for that.<br \/>DAVE: You were there, you say, a year and a half, and everybody got to know one another, got along pretty well and did stuff as a family.<br \/>ELIJAH: As a group, yeah. I mean, we really became a fellowship like that in the film. Some of the best friends of my life, I made on that, so&#133;<br \/>DAVE: What kind of things would you do, when you weren&#146;t shooting the movie, with your buddies in the film?<br \/>ELIJAH: Uh, we did the surfing&#133; I got a wetsuit and a surfboard, got involved in that&#133; A lot of bars. Went to a lot of bars.<br \/>(applause)<br \/>ELIJAH: (laughs) The local pubs, as you do. I got very ingrained in the English culture, very familiar with that.<br \/>DAVE: Was there talk of everybody getting tattoos, did that happen?<br \/>ELIJAH: That did happen. We became so close on the movie as a fellowship, we felt that the experience and the profundity of the experience deserved to be branded physically. So we all went to a tattoo parlor about a week before we finished and got branded together.<br \/>DAVE: Really?<br \/>ELIJAH: Ian McKellen actually got a tattoo as well.<br \/>DAVE: I don&#146;t see it. I don&#146;t know if I wanna see it.<br \/>ELIJAH: It&#146;s here (points to lower right torso) so I don&#146;t think I can show it. I don&#146;t think that would be good.<br \/>(laughter)<br \/>DAVE: And what does it say?<br \/>ELIJAH: It&#146;s actually Elvish, which is the language of&#151;<br \/>DAVE: You have a tattoo of Elvis?<br \/>(laughter)<br \/>ELIJAH: It&#146;s Elvish, which is actually the language of the Elves.<br \/>DAVE: Oh.<br \/>ELIJAH: And it stands for &#8220;nine,&#8221; the nine members of the fellowship.<br \/>DAVE: Was it painful?<br \/>ELIJAH: REALLY painful.<br \/>(laughter)<br \/>ELIJAH: Yeah. And the funniest thing about that is, I was asking various people who had tattoos if it was painful, and they were like &#8220;No no no, it&#146;s fine, you&#146;re going to be fine.&#8221; My GOD&#133;<br \/>(laughter)<br \/>ELIJAH: Ridiculous. I&#146;ve never been in so much pain in my life.<br \/>DAVE: And how long before you got over, whenever you take a shower, how long did it take you to get over &#8220;Oh, jeez!&#8221; that? You know what I&#146;m saying?<br \/>ELIJAH: I know. It took about a couple of months, actually.<br \/>(Dave laughs)<br \/>ELIJAH: I&#146;m very proud of it, though. I still look at it when I get out of the shower.<br \/>(laughter)<br \/>ELIJAH: Sorry. It&#146;s a little personal, I know.<br \/>(laughter and applause)<br \/>DAVE: How long do you think you can go in a pool? Nevermind.<br \/>(laughter)<br \/>DAVE: And when is your 21st birthday?<br \/>ELIJAH: January 28th.<br \/>DAVE: Oh, you got a big celebration planned?<br \/>ELIJAH: I&#146;m thinking about going to Vegas. I think it&#146;s time to go to Vegas.<br \/>DAVE: That&#146;s the thing to do.<br \/>ELIJAH: We&#146;re gonna&#151; a prerequisite to wear suits, do the whole Rat Pack thing, you know, bring all my friends. I think it&#146;ll be good. Lots of debauchery. Lots of drinking, as you do.<br \/>(Dave laughs)<br \/>DAVE: Now this movie, as you talked about, you&#146;re very excited, because it looks like it&#146;s gonna be very&#151; and has been widely and decidedly so&#151; it&#146;s gonna be an enormous film, so that must be a big thrill for you. Is it already making a difference in your daily life?<br \/>ELIJAH: It&#146;s kind of scary. I&#146;ve never been a part of anything quite this big before. So yeah, a bit. I think, um, actually, while we were still filming, I came home a few times, and people were already calling me Frodo, which is the name of my character. So it&#146;s starting to have an impact.<br \/>DAVE: Is that all right with you, to be called Frodo?<br \/>(laughter)<br \/>ELIJAH: (laughs) I&#146;m very familiar with it. I&#146;m taking the character on as a piece of me, so&#133; that&#146;s all right. You can call me Frodo. Go on, Dave, it&#146;s okay.<br \/>DAVE: (laughs) All right, Frodo.<br \/>(laughter and applause)<br \/>DAVE: Whatever you want. This is, uh&#133;<br \/>ELIJAH: Oh, what do you have there?<br \/>DAVE: It looks like&#151; I think it&#146;s your action figure, is that right? You can&#146;t have a movie anymore without having action figures? This looks like a chess piece.<br \/>ELIJAH: Oh my god.<br \/>DAVE: Is that you?<br \/>ELIJAH: Is this from Burger King?<br \/>DAVE: You know, I don&#146;t&#151;<br \/>(laughter)<br \/>ELIJAH: I have one question. Why is one foot invisible and the other not? What is that all about? Have you seen this?<br \/>DAVE: I assumed it was part of the movie.<br \/>ELIJAH: No, it&#146;s not, actually.<br \/>DAVE: It goes on that thing there&#133; (struggles to fit figure on its base) Some assembly required. I&#146;ll get it.<br \/>ELIJAH: Put it the other way, the other way around, I think.<br \/>DAVE: Please, Frodo.<br \/>ELIJAH: All right.<br \/>(laughter)<br \/>ELIJAH: Just trying to help.<br \/>(laughter and applause)<br \/>ELIJAH: You all right, Dave?<br \/>DAVE: It looks like he&#146;s standing on a pork chop. I don&#146;t know&#133;<br \/>(laughter)<br \/>ELIJAH: It kinda does resemble a pork chop.<br \/>DAVE: Is that part of the story?<br \/>ELIJAH: There it is.<br \/>DAVE: Wow. That&#146;s a nice piece of work, isn&#146;t it?<br \/>(laughter)<br \/>ELIJAH: Very nice.<br \/>DAVE: Now, do you get a little case of these, whenever they sell these things?<br \/>ELIJAH: I do&#151; I actually went to New Line recently and said &#8220;I need to be on the mailing list. I want all the merchandise.&#8221; I don&#146;t wanna be on eBay in twenty years having to search this stuff down.<br \/>(laughter)<br \/>ELIJAH: I&#146;m a total geek for this stuff. I&#146;ve been collecting action figures for years, so it&#146;s really cool to have my own figure.<br \/>(Dave continues struggling with the toy)<br \/>ELIJAH: Oh, come on, get it right.<br \/>(laughter)<br \/>DAVE: Let&#146;s show them a little bit of the movie here. Do you know what the clip is we&#146;re going to see?<br \/>ELIJAH: I don&#146;t, actually.<br \/>DAVE: Oh, come on.<br \/>ELIJAH: What is the clip?<br \/>DAVE: You gotta know what the clip is! I don&#146;t know, I wasn&#146;t in the movie!<br \/>(laughter)<br \/>DAVE: You gotta know! You were in New Zealand for a year and a half, for god&#146;s sake!<br \/>ELIJAH: I think I know what it is. I&#146;m being chased by a Ringwraith, a Black Rider.<br \/>DAVE: Okay, here we go, being chased by a Ringwraith.<br \/>ELIJAH: A Ringwraith.<br \/>DAVE: That&#146;s right. Elijah Wood. Take a look.<br \/>(clip of &#8220;Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring&#8221;)<br \/>(applause)<br \/>DAVE: Wow. There you go. All right, well listen, happy birthday.<br \/>ELIJAH: Thank you.<br \/>DAVE: Enjoy yourself in Las Vegas. December 21st is the movie?<br \/>ELIJAH: December 19th for the film.<br \/>DAVE: December 19th, great. Well, good. I know it&#146;s gonna be a big hit. Congratulations.<br \/>ELIJAH: Thank you very much.<br \/>DAVE: Thanks for being here.<br \/>(cheers and applause)<br \/>DAVE: We&#146;ll be right back with Stereophonics.<br \/>(applause)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From: AuraSidhe I&#8217;ve heard many people saying they missed Elijah Wood&#8217;s appearance on The Late Show with David&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[138],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26825","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-old-special-reports"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO Pro 4.9.10 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"From: AuraSidheI&#039;ve heard many people saying they missed Elijah Wood&#039;s appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman, so I thought I&#039;d send this transcript of the show.
