    Thanks for the info! So he did kind of let himself go after being in mad Max, because yeah, that character would have been a decent bad guy.

    I’m just surprised they were like,'fuck it, we already bought a chainmail shirt his size, and I’m not watching anymore casting VHS’s

      What’s wonderful is that isn’t even a chainmail shirt. It’s loose-knit sweater vest. I’m not sure if they were hoping no one would notice, or if most of us watched it on 480p VHS.

      I like to think that his grandma knitted it for him.

        Was it maybe supposed to be chainmail?

        They sometimes use (or at least used to) knittings like this as chainmail stand-ins during stunts or for background extras. LoTR is full of it
