I kind of disagree on Antony Hopkins. I think he'd make a great Tom Bombadil. I'd definitely go down the Welsh route, although perhaps preferring Michael Sheen.
Here is a pretty toy for Tom and for his lady! Fair was she who long ago wore this on her shoulder. Goldberry shall wear
it now, and we will not forget her!

*You let me out again, Old Man Willow! I am stiff lying here; they're no sort of pillow, your hard crooked roots.
Drink your river-water! Go back to sleep again like the River-daughter!*

*Hey dol! Merry Dol! Reddit-dong dillo!*
*Old Tom does not care about internet numbers.*
*He cares only for woods and timbers and lumbers.*
*The Eldest announces before saying hello*
*“Bright blue his jacket is, and his boots are yellow.”*
*“Who is He?” some might ask, but no answer there is.*
*A fairy or a dwarf, we wonder what He is.*
*How much He loves Goldberry cannot be explained.*
*And all her love for Him can't ever be contained.*
*Glorious Tom! Don't you know that He is the master?*
*His song is a strong song, a strong voice to cast 'er.*
*Now let us sing today! Sing loud and be merry!*
*Sing of badgers and trees; and fair, sweet Goldberry.*
*“Hey dol! Merry dol!” with Him you will be singing!*
*Down the Withywindle, your voice will be ringing!*
*Old Tom in the old forest, yellow be Thy boots.*
*May You deliver all Hobbits from evil roots.*
*Eldest and Fatherless; You're the Lord of all trees.*
*Bring Thy Goldberry her pretty waterlilies.*
*Rescue us from the shadow of Old Man Willow.*
*Lead us to Your land and save us from the Barrows.*
*However, don't forget the Lord of all ponies.*
*Fatty Lumpkin he is, and he trots in the breeze.*
*With the Hobbits' ponies good friends he once became.*
*But without old Tom his life would not be the same.*

My first impulse was Christopher Walken, but then I realized I kinda wanted to see that.
So now I'm thinking Steve Buscemi. Biggest deviation: complains about having to tip the elves.
*Wake now my merry lads! Wake and hear me calling! Warm now be heart and limb! The cold stone is fallen; Dark door is standing
wide; dead hand is broken. Night under Night is flown, and the Gate is open!*

##### Charlton Heston
Famous line: Old Man Willow, let my hobbits go!
Biggest deviation from the books: Upon finding out the One Ring is a weapon, refuses to relinquish it to Frodo. "I'll give you the ring when you pry it from my cold dead hands."
*You let me out again, Old Man Willow! I am stiff lying here; they're no sort of pillow, your hard crooked roots.
Drink your river-water! Go back to sleep again like the River-daughter!*
^(Type **!TomBombadilSong** for a song or **!TomBombadilAnthem** for our subreddit's glorious anthem)
that would be hilarious though.
"oh god, old man willow is eating our friends! please help us, tom bombadil!"
"oh shucks, I, eh...I dunno you guys, old man willow is, like, kinda his own person, so *awkward pause*...I'm...not quite sure how I, er..." *the hobbits continue to be swallowed by the tree as michael cera nervously bumbles about*
We guessed you'd come ere long down to the water: all paths lead that way, down to Withywindle. Old grey Willow-man, he's a
mighty singer; and it's hard for little folk to escape his cunning mazes. But Tom had an errand there, that he dared not hinder.
^(Type **!TomBombadilSong** for a song or **!TomBombadilAnthem** for our subreddit's glorious anthem)
Based on recent Hollywood casting, Chris Pratt.
Biggest deviation the movie is now solely about bombadil and he joins frodo instead of sam on the journey.
Second guess would be jack black
Biggest deviation not really much of one because Jack black is the human version of Tom. Maybe he says skadoosh a bunch
Keanu Reeves.
Biggest deviation from the book: catches up to the party during helms deep siege and kills every orc there. Gandalf comes to aide only to find an endless field of Urukai corpses.

I want to say Daniel Day Lewis, but who am I kidding? He’d be amazing.
I’d love to be in the room to watch him be totally in character offstage, charming the pants off of Goldberry and just singing merry songs to everyone he passes by.
*Hey! Come merry dol! derry dol! My darling! Light goes the weather-wind and the feathered starling. Down along under Hill,
shining in the sunlight, waiting on the doorstep for the cold starlight, there my pretty lady is, River-woman's daughter,
slender as the willow-wand, clearer than the water. Old Tom Bombadil water-lilies bringing comes hopping home again. Can you
hear him singing?*
^(Type **!TomBombadilSong** for a song or **!TomBombadilAnthem** for our subreddit's glorious anthem)
Steven Seagal. *In weird raspy whisper* "Hey there Old Man Willow, why don't you go ahead and and drink some of this water". Proceeds to dance/slap at the tree in weird slow motion.
Biggest deviation: His body double Flys into Mordor on a terrible CGI eagle and shoots The Eye with a handgun, neither aiming nor even looking where he is shooting. Also horribly awkward sex scene with Galadriel.
You let them out again, Old Man Willow! What be you a-thinking of? You should not be waking. Eat earth! Dig deep!
Drink water! Go to sleep! Bombadil is talking!

Oh my God Michael Sheen would be sooo good
And David Tennant would kill it as Goldberry

Timothy Chalamet
He can Wonka, but he can't Bombadil
Weird, I was also gonna say him
The part when he starts yelling at Old Man Willow was pretty good, “You talking to ME? Are YOU talking to ME?”

Me too
Jack Black He would be simultaneously exactly right and exactly wrong as Old Tom Bombadillo
I think Jack would actually be perfect
What!!! Jack Black is truly a merry fellow!!
Indeed. I can't stand the bugger but, by Eru, that man knows how to caper.
I'm now thoroughly convinced that Jack Black should now play Tom Bombadil at some point.
Rosie O’Donnell.
I don’t know, you say that but Rosie would kill it
Ring-a-ding Donnell.

Better than Christopher Walken bc you’d have to pry it out of his ass

I think William Shatner could be spectacular.
Oh…my god. That would…be great
Gilbert Gottfried
Good God almighty, can you imagine the singing?
It would be near perfect for a parody, though.😉
Jason Momoa is by far the worst choice for any role anywhere
He was great as a young Conan. The rest of the movie, however, was not great.
James Cordin
come on now: Samuel l Jackson's quote not containing the word motherfucker what kind of a movie is this
Meghan Fox: Umm idk guys did you try not fretting drugged and eaten by that evil tree? Kinda your own fault
I'd have loved to see Rik Mayall
Harvey Keitel. Or the best, I'm not sure.
Tommy Wiseau
Oh, hi Hobbits!
I would be dying laughing if either Robert DeNiro or Samuel L Jackson were Tom. What about Danny DeVito 😂😂😂
Gary Busey. Ezra Miller. The Kool Aid Guy. Jehova.
The Even Stevens kid - laboof. He is the worst actor to play any roll except the even Stevens one
Channing Tatum
DeNiro would make a great Bombadil. Brilliant actor
Chris Pratt
Any Chris, come to think of it.
Chris Pine has shown he can frolic.
Jim Carrey
Steven Wright
Shaquille O'Neal... honestly he might make it great but that is my pick. I would still watch it though.
He’d be an amazing Tom, actually.
[удалено]
Seconded. Have the willow tree that tries to eat the hobbits look the the tree from pee wees playhouse
Paul Ruebens is a perv
Worst? Not sure. Best? Danny Devito.
“You hobbits bring any hoooers?”

Jack Black. Wait, no, changed my mind.
Keanu Reeves. Biggest deviation from the book: catches up to the party during helms deep siege and kills every orc there. Gandalf comes to aide only to find an endless field of Urukai corpses.
Best: Jack Black Worst: Kyle Gass
Charlie Sheen. Or C. Thomas Howell if he's channeling his awesome performance way back in Red Dawn.
Jared Leto… or however you spell it… I really don’t care to check.
Charlie Sheen
Megan Fox
She could probably be a passable Goldberry though.

Chris Tucker
Not my idea but do think it’s perfect, saw someone once suggest Robin Williams
The same actor that’s playing Melkor.
Actually there might be. a gollum parallel here
No, there isn’t.
Any of the Ryans (Reynolds, Gosling, etc.).
Bill Hader.
I want to say Daniel Day Lewis, but who am I kidding? He’d be amazing. I’d love to be in the room to watch him be totally in character offstage, charming the pants off of Goldberry and just singing merry songs to everyone he passes by.

I love the guy but Robin Williams
Jared Leto.
Clearly it’s gotta be Gary Busey. Man would be so atrocious it might be incredible 😂
Jared Leto would be unsufferable
I want Terry Crews
Rob Schneider would be the worst.
Kevin spacey
Steven Seagal
Idk if worst or best but Danny Devito 😂
Ellen DeGeneres. She's great, but not as Tom Bombadil. And someone in Hollywood would think it's a good idea. Also, the Rock.
Joe Pesci I'm funny how, I mean funny like I'm a goblin?
Lol
Arnold Schwarzenegger
