The throwback picture brought back happy memories for Orlando who then shared it with his fanbase. He wrote: “Liv Tyler just texted me this photo from our #lotr days I was turning 21!!! ‘My little baby logolas in the c*ntybago!!!!’ Made me laugh our fondly named makeup bus, christened by Noreen my makeup artist and Viggo Mortensen, was, and remains in my heart and memory the most female and male empowered, joyful, disreputable and yet totally respectful place of work and creativity ever. Hours spent in the the makeup chair to apply ear’s and wigs and contacts #lovemyjob#fbf.”

The Instagram post was flooded with comments from fans who were delighted Orlando had shared this special moment with them. “Omg this pic is everything I need in my life,” one person said. “You are so beautiful.” Another added: “I turned 40 this year, feel 28ish! Looking back at old photos, memories, so important. 2000's don't seem that long ago do they?! And yet such a lot has happened! More please lovely Liv.”

Others added: “I'm actually rewatching LotR right now. Thank you for many, many years of happiness that this series has brought me.”

Orlando also would be recognized wearing a long blond wig which he famously wore for his role Legolas in the Lord of the Rings. In 2014, the actor admitted he was looking forward to changing up the blond wig. He told BBC Radio 1: “I look back and think I’ve had this amazing opportunity and I’ve had the best time. I’m looking forward to this next chapter. I feel like I need to get rid of the blond wig and pointy ears for a while.”
