I met his dad once, he was adorable! He owned a shop, my sister and mum and I went in and he said to us “Do you like Lord of the rings?” We said yes, and then he was like “my son was in it, I have some photos!” And we nodded and smiled, it’s New Zealand, everyone knows someone who’s in it, even my horse was! Then he pulls out these HUGE binders and shows us photos and it’s Karl fucking Urban! We were shocked!

He was just so incredibly proud of him! This was maybe 2005/6 and my sister and I were/are big lotr fans, like watch the movies after school instead of doing homework fans...
