Elijah Wood stuns Animal Crossing New Horizons player with turnips visit

Famous Hollywood actor Elijah Wood, best known for playing Frodo Baggins in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, surprised an Animal Crossing fan by showing up at her island to hang out.

On April 23, Twitter user ‘Directedbyrian’ tweeted out the price of turnips on her island at 599 bells, and instructed players to DM her for the Dodo Code.

In a completely unexpected turn of events, Elijah Wood saw the tweet and reached out to the player. A screen grab of the messages shows Wood asking, “Would love your Dodo Code to sell these turnips!”

“UM,” the shocked player replied. “OF COURSE YOU CAN.”
