The Lord of the Rings cast will reunite in the next episode of Josh Gad’s Reunited Apart airing on Sunday.
Yesterday, Gad shared a trailer for the Lord of the Rings episode, featuring, Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Orlando Bloom, Dominic Monaghan, Billy Boyd, and Sir Ian McKellen, who played Frodo, Samwise, Legolas, Merry, Pippin, and Gandalf in the blockbuster trilogy respectively.
In the trailer, the actors joked about being on a constant video chat with each other, and Boyd said: “We have been on together now for 2,565 days.”
Bloom then joined the chat and said: “Yeah, we’re always on a call. Katy [Perry] just has to remind me to turn the Zoom off in bed.”
