Sir Christopher Lee Recounts Meeting J.R.R. Tolkien at an Oxford Pub in the 1950s. 🙌Christopher Lee: We were sitting having a beer and I suddenly saw this figure come in. Pipe just like every photograph jovial looking man and I said my god there’s “The Professor” … He came over and said, “How do you do?” And I said, “How do you do, sir?” And I thought, “Now, should I kneel? Because I was completely overcome.Sir Christopher Lee was the only cast member from The Lord of the Rings who personally met J.R.R. Tolkien. He described the brief, accidental meeting in an Oxford pub as an overwhelming experience where he was so starstruck he nearly fell off his chair.
