Holy moses! Bud Spencer in LOTR!! Did you know about that before?

I guess Treebeard would be the most extreme form of typecasting ever made

Arnold Schwarzenegger in LOTR? Uh, how about no.

Terence Hill as Elrond. Can we even imagine how that would be like?
As this weird casting rumours/suggestions originate from the early 90s, the Italian actor would look as he did in Lucky Luke. The question is if he, at the age of 54, would have been too old for the part already then,

Arnold Schwarzenegger in LOTR? Uh, how about no.

I kinda have to share your opinion there.

That would have been hilarious
