Lord Of The Rings actor Elijah Wood Surprised a Fan with an Animal Crossing Pop-in

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is bringing everyone together during social distancing, and it reached its peak community moment when actor Elijah Wood visited a Twitter users’ island to sell turnips. The exchange was documented by Jessa, twitter username @directedbyrian, on Thursday.

The user claimed Wood reached out to her on Twitter Thursday after she claimed that her Nook’s Cranny turnip prices were 599 bells. This attracted a handful of online friends, including Wood.

He said, “Would love your Dodo Code to sell these turnips.”

Upon his arrival at Jessica’s island, Wood offered a special greeting for the group of Animal Crossing players assembled on the island, many of them fans of The Last Jedi (see Jessica’s Twitter name). “Long live Rian Johnson,” said the SAG Award-winning actor. “Your island is beautiful,” he added.

“I’m putting this on a résumé,” Jessica joked.
