Sauron Actor's Muddy Proposal & Cheese Rant
17 Oct
Summary
- Proposed to wife with a lunge, not a knee, in muddy woods.
- Believes Tom Cruise cheated in freediving by using oxygen.
- Secretly dislikes cheese and is critical of charcuterie boards.
The actor portraying Sauron in 'The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power' offered a glimpse into his personal life, recounting a memorable marriage proposal. While in the woods near his wife's childhood home, he opted for a deep lunge instead of kneeling to avoid mud, a moment he described as potentially looking strange to onlookers.
In a surprising revelation, he expressed skepticism about Tom Cruise's freediving abilities, suggesting the actor may have used oxygen beforehand, which he believes constitutes cheating. This actor also admitted to a peculiar dislike for cheese and charcuterie boards, an opinion he acknowledges is unconventional, particularly in England.
Beyond his on-screen persona as the wholly evil Sauron, the actor reflected on what constitutes true evil, defining it as a disregard for others' feelings. He also shared a funny memory of Sam Neill on the set of 'Palm Beach', where the veteran actor humorously re-enacted a dinosaur sequence. The actor also revealed hidden talents, including drumming, and discussed his views on the ideal length of men's shorts.
