The fact that there’s still an active Lord of the Rings group chat after 25 years is a testament to the close bond of hobbits.
In the Late Show clip above, Elijah Wood reveals to Stephen Colbert that he still speaks to his fellow cast members every day, and that their group is called “Shire Folk”.
“Dom [Monaghan] retitled it ‘Shire Folk’. It was ‘The Hobbits’, but he was like, ‘Ah, it’s too on the nose.’ And we text each other every day,” says Wood. “We do the New York Times Mini Crossword, so we share our scores on there.”
Deeply wholesome.
