Elijah Wood<\/a> has paid a touching tribute to his late ‘Lord of the Rings’ co-star Bernard Hill.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Elijah Wood has paid tribute to Bernard Hill following his passing at the weekend<\/p>\n

The beloved actor \u2013 who was best known for his role as King Th\u00e9oden in the blockbuster fantasy film – passed away on Sunday (05.05.24) aged 79.<\/p>\n

Sharing a picture of Hill taken by their co-star, Viggo Mortensen<\/a>, who played Aragorn, Wood penned on X: “So long to our friend, our king, Bernard Hill.”<\/p>\n

Quoting J. R. R. Tolkien’s novel, he continued: “We will never forget you. <\/p>\n

\u201cFor he was a gentle heart and a great king and kept his oaths; and he rose out of the shadows to a last fair morning.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nDominic Monaghan, who portrayed Merry Brandybuck, wrote alongside the same photograph: \u201cThe Broken king has passed to the grey havens but he will always be remembered. #ripbernard.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nHill – who was also known for starring as Captain Edward Smith opposite Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio in the 1997 blockbuster ‘Titanic’ – is survived by his wife Marianne and their son Gabriel. <\/p>\n

\nHis cause of death is currently unknown. <\/p>\n

\nHe had been due to appear at Liverpool’s Comic-Con over the weekend but cancelled at the last minute, and the event’s organisers immediately took to social media to lead the tributes.<\/p>\n

\nThey wrote on X: “We\u2019re heartbroken to hear the news of Bernard Hill\u2019s passing. A great loss. Thinking of his family at this very sad time, and wishing them a lot of strength.”<\/p>\n

\nThe ‘True Crime’ star was born in Manchester and attended drama school at the same time as the late ‘Harry Potter’ actor Richard Griffiths before playing small roles on television but did not get his big break until 1980 when he was cast as a working-class Liverpudlian man ultimately driven to the edge by the welfare system in ‘The Black Stuff’.<\/p>\n

\nAs his career took off, Hill took on roles in ‘Gandhi’ ‘Mountains of the Moon’, ‘Skallagrigg’ and ‘Madagascar Skin’ before appearing in Hollywood films, including ‘The Ghost and the Darkness’, opposite Val Kilmer and Michael Douglas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
