Lord of the Rings fans won't have much longer to wait until the long-awaited Amazon Prime series, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, releases on the streaming platform. The series, which is based on the classic appendices by JRR Tolkien, comes out on Friday, September 2. The show's cast are currently promoting it across the globe.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power has a strong Welsh cast with the likes of Morfydd Clark, Owain Arthur and Trystan Gravelle. Morfydd, who plays Elven warrior Galadriel in the series, appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Thursday, August 4 to talk about her role, which was originally inhabited by Academy Award-winning actress, Cate Blanchett.
Colbert, a self-confessed fan of Lord of the Rings, was left impressed when Morfydd, who grew up in Penarth, taught him the Welsh alphabet. Egging her on, the talk show host said: "Your little trick is, and I can't believe how entertaining it is, but it really is. The Welsh alphabet," before asking her to show him.
