In a rare move, an actor has come forward to state that he is not a fan of the genre he is currently working in. Aidan Turner, who plays Kili the Dwarf in Peter Jackson's upcoming prequel The Hobbit doesn't much care for fantasy films, but he does acknowledge that The Lord of the Rings trilogy is a masterpiece of storytelling.

Turner recently spoke out about appearing in the next installment of the Rings mythos, confirming that he is headed off to Hobbit boot camp soon.

Here is what Aidan had to say:

"We're all off to Hobbit boot camp. I'm not sure what it entails but I think it lasts a few weeks and gets us all fit for filming. I saw (The Lord of the Rings trilogy) at the cinema. It's not my favorite genre but they are all masterpieces."


When asked how being a part of The Hobbit legacy might change his life, Turner replied:

'I don't speculate too much about the future. That's the thing about this job - it's so fickle. You take the jobs, you read the scripts and, if something interests you and you like the people who are working on it, you go for it. If not, you take a break. I could be back in Ireland, Britain or America afterwards. It's so variable but very exciting."


The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey comes to theaters December 14th, 2012 and stars Cate Blanchett, Saoirse Ronan, Orlando Bloom, Elijah Wood, Martin Freeman, David Tennant, Ian McKellen, Christopher Lee. The film is directed by Peter Jackson.

    How does him saying it's "not my favorite" genre translate to him not liking fantasy films. I would definitely say horror is not my favourite genre, or western, but that doesn't mean I don't like a lot of horror and western films.

    I appreciate the guys honesty. One of my favorite characters from X Men 2 was Nightcrawler who said the same thing but ended up being my fav part of that movie (and yes as you can tell from my avatar i may be a little biased).

    Aidan doesn't much care for fantasy films, funny because I don't much care for Aidan. Seriously though, I don't know who he is?
