What?

I (Liv) was over the moon when Sean Astin was announced for Comic Con Amsterdam. I'm a big fan of "The Goonies" and of the "The Lord of the Rings" franchise. I bought a photo op ticket for Sean beforehand and at the con Carola impulsively followed. We also attended the panel with Sean and Sylvester McCoy. A few months later I met Sean a second time at FACTS, where I got an autograph and talked politics with him. I also attended his panel. In 2024, all four hobbits from the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy were on stage at Brussels Comic Con and that was epic.
