Middle Earth is enjoying a lasting peace, which has freed up Elijah Wood’s schedule. He’s now joyously smoking cigarettes and riding scooters around Austin, Texas.
Earlier this week, actor Elijah Wood was caught zipping around on an electric scooter in Austin, Texas. This tweet’s caption and photo are almost too perfect:

Twitter couldn’t get enough of chilled-out Frodo on a scooter smoking a cigarette:

not sure if I’m feeling more “Elon Musk smoking a joint on a radio talk show” or “Elijah Wood riding a Lime scooter while smoking a cigarette” today

Wood was cruising along on a Limebike, a kind of electric scooter. Apparently, he was attending Fantastic Fest while showcasing a new virtual reality game.
Lime, the creators of the shareable green scooters, also chimed in on Twitter:

Maybe there’s an existential lesson here. Maybe we are all Elijah Wood on a scooter.

Of course, reddit couldn’t resist having a Photoshop battle:
The viral tweet seemed to capture the imagination of the public. It’s fun to imagine Frodo now carefree and blissfully enjoying lasting peace on Middle Earth. He earned that scooter ride!
