If I ever meet Sean Bean (or Billy Boyd) I’m going to ask them if all of the shots with Boromir guiding Merry and Pippin were scripted. I need to know.
Photographic evidence below the cut.
Let’s start with the first meeting:
You can almost see the heart eyes.
Barely out of Rivendell and already staying pretty close to them.
Oh what’s that? It’s PIPPIN CARRYING BOROMIR’S SHIELD as they walk in their little threesome behind Gandalf and Frodo.
“That’s okay Pippin, I’ll wait for you and hold out my hand to guide you into the Mines. It could be dark and scary, but I’ll protect you.”
BOROMIR’S RELATIONSHIP WITH THE HOBBITS IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND IMPORTANT!
