LORD Of The Rings star Billy Boyd has revealed he never made a penny from appearing in the blockbuster movie.
The Scot played a hairy-footed hobbit in the Tolkien trilogy which smashed box office records around the world.
But despite becoming a household name by appearing in the films, he says the role failed to boost his bank balance.
Billy – who is rehearsing for his forthcoming role in The Proclaimers musical Sunshine On Leith – said: “I don’t have any money.
“We were unknown actors – we did it for peanuts and for food.”
