Topher Grace recut 'The Hobbit' trilogy into one 2-hour film to destress after playing David Duke in BlacKkKlansman
“It’s like doing woodwork in my garage,” said the former 'That 70s Show' star who says he recut the Hobbit Trilogy to unwind after the dauntng task of playing David Duke on screen.
In a couple of weeks, we'll get to see Topher Grace play Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke in Spike Lee's 'BlacKkKlansman'. The film tells the "outrageous, real-life story" of African-American Colorado detective Ron Stallworth (John David Washington) who infiltrated the Klan by impersonating a white man on the telephone.
As IndieWire reports, the former 'That 70s Show' star was burdened with portraying Duke, the most prominent white supremacist in history, and had to deal with the psychological duress of embodying the character for several weeks.
After this daunting task, Grace reportedly chose a strange way to de-stress - by editing Peter Jackson's 'The Hobbit' trilogy into a single a single two-hour film.
