Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring – Gandalf Bumps His Head

There seems to be a trend among blockbuster films that one of the cast members ends up smacking their head against a low-hanging door frame on set. It happened in Star Wars to a stormtrooper and again to Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring as he talks to Bilbo Baggins in a pint-sized hobbit hole. Actor Ian McKellen didn’t mean to bump his head but the moment was funny and charming enough for director Peter Jackson to keep it in.
