Owain Arthur On Tolkien Liking Interpretation, His Rings Of Power Dwarf Makeup, And His Robert Aramayo Bromance [Exclusive Interview]

I’m an enormous fan of the present [and] an enormous fan of Tolkien usually. I’m additionally a Tolkien fan who likes adjustments and issues …
Really? Because that is what he wished. Everything was up for interpretation. And this has come from the Tolkien estates. 

Did they let you know that?
Yeah.
Did you discuss to them?
Who was it that talked to them? I am unable to offer you … One of the forged spoke to Simon [Tolkien, J.R.R. Tolkien’s grandson, a director of Tolkien’s estate, and a series consultant], I believe.
Oh wow.
And he mentioned, after watching episodes one and two, that is precisely what he would’ve wished. Listen, and I wish to get it down in print that, that was an official, it was a quote.
I’ll put that in print. 
Yeah. That he wasn’t valuable. He liked that his work might be interpreted in many alternative methods. And, in fact, he would. Of course, he would.
I adore it, and the truth that they gave you a spouse who’s superb.

It’s really one of many issues I wished to ask you about since you see love tales, and also you see simply the beginnings of issues, however you by no means actually see a wedding that is good, within the center, and you’ve got youngsters. What’s that been like [to play]?

Yeah, it is completely stunning. Isn’t it nice? I like that. Usually, when relationships are portrayed on TV or in movie, there is a divorce, or there’s an affair, or it is the falling in love half. It’s by no means this sturdy life, day-to-day ardour that they’ve for one another, for his or her youngsters, for the dominion, for the mountain. And it actually is straightforward to try this with Sophia [Nomvete] as a result of from the second we met, we clicked into place by way of, it was really easy. I believe we share the identical mischievous humorousness that we will break into and share collectively so simply. And I like that we get to point out this home facet of the dwarves. And additionally simply to painting a home relationship in a TV present that is working, that is indestructible.
That makes me go “Aww’ each time I see it. 
It actually is. It actually is! And they’re so open and passionate with one another, they usually clearly fancy the pants off one another.
And they’re humorous collectively! 
It’s type of like, “Aww, would not you like to have that particular person in your life?” 
I believe one of many issues that I like a lot about Durin is that he is humorous, and he looks as if somebody who would play sensible jokes, just like the tables.
Uh-huh. [laughs]
I’m simply curious, are you somebody who does that on set? 

[laughs] I really feel such as you’re asking this query and you understand what the answer is going to be. 
I might need the reply, sure!
I’m, sure. I’m mischievous. I used to be the category clown in class. I like humor, and sure, I do push the boundaries of the place that humor can go. So I do shoot myself within the foot every now and then, but it surely’s all within the title of comedy.
