Elijah Wood Makes Rare Comments About Dad Life With His 2 Kids

Prince William Details the One Aspect of Parenting He Finds “Quite Difficult”

Elijah Wood is ringing in his kids’ latest chapter.

The Lord of the Rings actor offered rare insight into his life as a dad to his 6-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter—whom he shares with wife Mette-Marie Kongsved—revealing that he is relishing the current stage of their development.

“We’re well out of toddlerville and they’ve entered kid-dom,” he told The Times in an interview published March 6. “It’s incredible.”

And while the youngsters—whose names have not been shared publicly—seem to be growing at a rapid pace, Elijah, 45, admitted he doesn’t think they’re ready to screen the Peter Jackson fantasy trilogy that made their dad a household name.

“They have not [seen it],” he revealed. “But only because I genuinely don’t think they’re old enough. I feel like it might be appropriate when they are 8.”

In the meantime, Elijah and Mette-Marie have introduced their kids to other classics like The Wizard of Oz and Jumanji, though he remarked that the latter was “way scarier and more f–ked up than I remember.”
