14 DAY TRIAL // An Uruk-Hai orc possibly related to the ones that spent days on end chasing after Frodo and his companions in “Lord of the Rings” was spotted grocery shopping in the Netherlands just days ago.
Apparently, the orc was thirsty for some milk and casually walked into a supermarket to buy some. While there, he also came across an orange fluffy toy that he fancied, so he bought it as well.
The incident was caught on camera, and the video is available below. As one can easily notice, the Uruk-Hai orc was very well behaved most of the time. Granted, he did let out some weird mumbles, but he did not cause any trouble.
In fact, the scary-looking creature was even courteous enough to wait in line to pay for his milk and his plushy toy, although, truth be told, it really is a wonder that just one woman allowed him to pass in front of her at the register.
One can only assume such mythical creatures are a common sight in the Netherlands, otherwise chances are pretty many would have run for their lives screaming, and the orc would have ended up wondering around the supermarket all by himself.
Joking aside – and before everybody starts thinking that there was a disruption in the space-time continuum and that Sauron himself might soon crash their barbecue party – it need be said that this orc was not really a monster.
Thus, Metro identifies the Uruk-Hai as a Dutch bodybuilder by the name Olivier Richters. Fear not, this odd outfit is not what the Dutch bodybuilder usually wears when out shopping or on date nights.
Apparently, Olivier Richters put on the Uruk-Hai orc costume only to lend a helping hand to a make-up artist who was working on her graduation project and needed somebody to test her skills on. Given how life-like the make-believe orc appears to be, this student must be quite talented.
By the looks of it, Olivier Richters, who also works as an actor every once in a while, is a fairly tall men. Hence, the orc outfit suits him surprisingly well, much more than it would your average Joe and Jane.
Commenting on this footage, YouTube user Oleg Schäfer remarks, “I like that he doesn’t try to prank other people excessive but simply just goes through the store minding his own business.” Then again, chances are that, had Olivier Richters explicitly tried to scare people, things would have rapidly turned ugly.
