Trivia
Wood is a huge music buff who claims to own something in the range of 3,000 CD's, and cites his favorite band as the Smashing Pumpkins. [1]
He dated German actress Franka Potente but the relationship ended late in 2002. Wood blamed the separation on age difference and distance, but still wears a ring Potente gave him which bears a Hebrew inscription meaning "if not now, when?". During a recent interview with Conan O'Brien, he laughed off rumors that he is gay, even recommending one website which makes such claims, calling it "hilarious".
While filming The Faculty he learned that casting had begun for New Zealand director Peter Jackson's epic production of J.R.R. Tolkien's classic novel trilogy The Lord of the Rings. Wood immediately had his friend, director George Huang, film an audition tape of him running in the fields with crudely made Hobbit feet, and sent the tape to Jackson. Despite Jackson's initial assertion that all of the Hobbit characters would be played by British actors, he was immediately won over by Wood's audition and the American Wood was cast in the lead role of Tolkien's diminutive hero Frodo Baggins. Jackson later said he could not possibly imagine another actor in the world who would be better-suited to Frodo.(Sibley 2001:30)
The cast of the Rings movies was nominated for Best Ensemble Acting at the Screen Actors Guild Awards for three years in a row. They finally won in 2003, for the third film The Return of the King. For his performance as Frodo Baggins, Elijah Wood was nominated by the MTV Movie Awards.
In an interview about his latest film Everything Is Illuminated, director Liev Schreiber commented that his leading man Elijah Wood has a "generosity of spirit" and a "sincere goodness as a human being".[2]
In an Elle magazine interview, recently stated that his ideal woman is Torrie Wilson.
According to a survey of movie stars done by PC Gamer magazine, The Secret of Monkey Island is his favorite videogame.
