Dan Radcliffe mistaken for Elijah Wood in Australia

While the Harry Potter actor is filming December Boys down under, he apparently is constantly confused with Lord of the Rings star Elijah Wood. Dan said: "I admit when a couple of people have put autograph books under my nose I've signed them: 'Much love Elijah Wood.'"

DIY Medieval Romance Kit - fill in names and swoon!

That's fantastic and also utterly horrific...

Meant seriously, but of course shamelessly used for whacky fun with RP pup names by us...

Yrael the wonder cat? XD

ROFL!!!

Actually, the one time I tried it, I used names from my other game, Morningstar Manor on GJ (I mentioned that here before).

Paired my pup Andras (who's really gay) with his good friend Elspeth and used one of the cats my pup Charlotte keeps...

*blushes*

I saw Goblet last night and caught myself thinking several times about Elijah wood and how different he would be as Harry. Personally, Elijah gives me the creeps, so I'm pleased with things as they are ;)

Daniel Radcliffe does look a lot like Elijah Wood; Harry Potter is a similar sort of character as Frodo, too.

But then, the whole HP franchise is of course utterly post-modern in the way it incorporates countless references to other books and our whole cultural history, including the expectations of storytelling with which it plays ruthlessly, so the similarity with Frodo is probably legit. The casting people couldn't have known, though, when they cast Daniel Radcliffe who at that time was hardly more than a mewling babe-in-arms of ten or so, that he'd turn out to look like that. Spooky, eh? Memetics asserting themselves all on their own.
