'The Hobbit' Movie News: Actor James Nesbitt Talks His Role As Bofur & Admits To Enjoying Karaoke [VIDEO]
The Hobbit star, James Nesbitt, was famous before the series for his role as Bofur, and now opens up about his plans to extend the legacy of his character.
'The Missing' Has Officially Been Renewed For A Second Season
Entertainment Weekly posted a video interview with Nesbitt on Friday where the actor discussed his part in Peter Jackson's The Hobbit.
When asked what his most prized pop culture possession is, Nesbitt said it was his character's weapon.
"My most prized is I've got the weapon that Bofur the dwarf I played in The Hobbit has, so I've got that which I'm going to auction off because there's an awful lot of Hobbit geeks out there who are prepared to spend a lot of money on things. And I'm going to give the money to my charity which is the Coalition Against Use of Child Soldiers," he said.
But the actor couldn't just choose one prized posession: "I've also got my little Bofur Lego character, because my hat also comes off the little Lego man. It's been lodged up the moses of four-year-olds thorughout the world for time immemoriam."
Nesbitt also told the publicaiton that he is a fan of a karaoke night.
"My go-to Karaoke song...I do sing a lot of Frank Sinatra. Also, I do hosting. I host the GQ awards and the Empire Film Awards. And I always start with a song. A Sinatra song. But I change all the words to fit the people that are in the room," Nesbitt said.
