Performer of the role of Bilbo Baggins passed away
Famous British actor Ian Holm has died in London at the age of 89. This is reported by The Guardian with reference to his agent. "It is with great sadness that Sir Ian Holm died this morning at the age of 88. He peacefully rest in the hospital surrounded by family members and doctors. Charming, kind and incredibly talented, we will sorely miss him," the statement said. The artist played in many popular movies, including "Alien", in which he got the role of the android Ash, "The Fifth Element", where he reincarnated as an eccentric priest. But viewers of the younger generation will probably remember him primarily as Bilbo Baggins from the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Just days before his death, Ian Holm sent his former project colleagues who had gathered for the virtual conference a letter of apology for not being able to attend the meeting. "I am sorry that I will not see you in person, I miss you all and I hope that your adventures have opened up many new wonderful places for you. Well, in the meantime, I remain locked in my hobbit house. Or the Hill," the letter said. He was knighted by the Queen of Great Britain in 1998.
