Peter Jackson was very GOOFY on The Hobbit Set!

Peter Jackson, director of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, brought a fun, lighthearted atmosphere to the set, often acting mischievously and joking around. His playful behavior earned him the nickname "the 12-year-old with a beard." Despite the stressful environment of filming for hundreds of days, Jackson helped maintain a positive vibe, ensuring the cast and crew felt appreciated and comfortable. His ability to keep things light was key to making the long shoots more enjoyable for everyone.

Peter is really the best. Both hardworking and fun and chill dude. And he's got the back of all his coworkers. All the qualities that a real leader should have. He's a national treasure

His sense of playfulness is what probably made the LOTR films such a success. That child-like quality allowed him to “enter into the story “; he was “living” it right along with the actors. Must have been wonderful working with him!!

A "12 year old with a beard, " so basically a life goal for many of us nerds and geeks? I'm in.

Perfect guy for the job! Tree-beards lesser known brother Pre-beard

It's the dream set. The dream job. None will be able to surpass. And the rest of us lowlings will be forever jealous.

"HEY GUYS THIS ONE IS A QUICK CASH GRAB!!! Don't worry about all the painstaking detail and devotion.... yeah yeah no.... it's just to make money "

I'd say PJ and choosing Vigo M, Ian Mack. as Gandalf pull you in the movies series.

With his misheviousness, could Peter WORK on directing movies BASED OFF OF ROALD DAHL'S BOOKS?

[HerohammerStudios]

I just can't help but be a little sad when every clip is just a greenscreen

[jshot]

Referencing Rolf Harris probably wasn't his shining moment
