Are you ready to rumble!! Former hero hobbit Elijah Wood has fallen hard for the "passionate" atmosphere at English soccer matches so much so that he secured financial backing to make a film about it.
In his new film "Hooligans" he plays a young American who is expelled from Harvard, moves to London, and joins up with a gang of violent soccer fans. Elijah says he fell in love with the appeal of English soccer, calling American baseball and American football crowds "too relaxed."
(Phft. I agree baseball is anemic and brain-deadening, but he's obviously never been to a Raiders-Broncos football game.. . relaxed? My ass, Elijah!)
, Elijah said the soccer film is "fascinating, something very different from anything I've ever done. Sport is big in the States but I've been to three or English soccer matches and I've never felt that kind of energy in the crowd before." He adds that, "I didn't see any actual violence, but it was definitely in the air. It was infectious, you could feel it."
Elijah will flash his gorgeous blue eyes in the film due out soon in the US and this summer around the world. For more info, check the official website for "Hooligans."
