The Hobbit: Orlando Bloom's Farewell Viral Video

Just one day after Sir Ian McKellen bid a fond farewell to Gandalf, Orlando Bloom also wrapped shooting as Legolas in The Hobbit: There and Back Again. And to mark the occasion, director Peter Jackson posted a video on his Facebook page of Bloom singing along to the 2006 viral sensation "They're Taking the Hobbits to Isengard."

"A day after saying goodbye to Gandalf and Tauriel, it was time to farewell Legolas," Jackson wrote. "What a great day it was, with Orlando battling a serious Orc for all 12 hours of shooting - part of the Battle of the 5 Armies for the third Hobbit movie. When we finally got the day done, we said goodbye to Orlando, had a couple of beers ... and couldn't resist doing this!"

It's interesting to note, as THR points out, that Bloom, now 36, was 22 years old when The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring began filming in 1999.
