- Martin Freeman plays "Bilbo Baggins" in 'The Hobbit'
- We reveal how tall the actor is in real life
In 'The Hobbit' trilogy, Martin Freeman played "Bilbo Baggins", who helped the dwarves fight against evil. The special thing about the character is that as a "hobbit", he was particularly small and could therefore escape his enemies more quickly.
Martin Freeman's height made him a perfect fit for his role
Martin Freeman is not a giant in real life either - he is 1.69 meters tall, that's about 5 feet 5 inches. That's why he was the perfect cast for "Bilbo Baggins". His 'Hobbit' colleagues from 'The Lord of the Rings', who play in the same universe, are no giants either.
For example, actors Elijah Wood and Sean Astin, who played "Frodo" and "Sam" in the trilogy, are also only 1.68 and 1.70 meters tall.
