Peter Jackson\u2019s Lord Of The Rings series regularly tops film critics lists as one of the greatest trilogies of all time, sometimes even voted the very best. Its epic conclusion \u2018Return of the King\u2019 also went on to become the 26th highest grossing movie of all time. But, for adults now who grew up with the critically-acclaimed saga back in the early 2000s, it will always hold a special place in their hearts for its iconic cinematography, music, and of course the characters. However, there is one LOTR character who had a lasting impact on YouTuber Valkyrae. Speaking to the 100 Thieves for its \u2018Boomer vs. Zoomer\u2019 podcast, she revealed that Orlando Bloom\u2019s Legolas in the trilogy became her first celebrity crush. Valkyrae swoons over LOTR\u2019s Legolas On August 9, Valkyrae was asked which celebrity first stole her heart when she was younger. Although she couldn\u2019t think of any at first, she remembered how she swooned over a particular Fellowship member. She stated: \u201cMr first celebrity crush was Orlando Bloom. Lord of the Rings. Legolas.\u201d However, her fellow podcaster Peter Park claimed he is \u201cmore of a Aragorn\u201d who was played by Viggo Mortenson. The pair were then horrified after learning that the \u201cZoomer\u201d in the podcast Kyedae had never heard of Bloom and was quietly trying to look him up on her phone. (Topic begins at 7:38 in the video) Valkyrae and Park aren\u2019t alone in their view. Both Aragorn and Legolas regularly top the lists as two of the most attractive male movie characters. It would be tough for anyone to try and live up to the blonde-haired, archery-skilled Sindar Elf. However, Valkyrae won\u2019t be finding any potential contenders on dating apps as she also revealed during the podcast that she has deleted them all. As for Lord Of The Rings, fans of Peter Jackson\u2019s original franchise are counting down the days until Amazon\u2019s new prequel series. Although, sadly for Valkyrae, Orlando Bloom isn\u2019t set to make an appearance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Valkyrae reveals her first celebrity crush was actually a Lord of the Rings character YouTube: 100 Thieves Cast\/ New Line CinemaRachell \u2018Valkyrae\u2019 Hofstetter wouldn\u2019t be afraid to simply walk into Mordor as the YouTube star revealed that her first celebrity crush was a Lord of the Rings actor.
