Unfortunate choice of thread title, methinks, unless there's a bit of reverse psychology going on !

Willie Nelson is smokin' in audition reel for 'The Hobbit'

Mama, don't let your babies grow up to be ... orcs?

Well, if Willie Nelson managed to take the role of the "Lord of the Rings'" and "The Hobbit's" Gandalf away from Ian McKellen, the script would need a little rewriting.

In a video on Conan O'Brien's "Team Coco" YouTube channel, Nelson gave audiences a taste — or a puff — of what he'd be like as the pipe-smoking wizard.

"You shall not pass

        ... an unlit joint!"

he intones in the video, posted Monday.

                  "That's just not cool."

[Short video of the "audition" and also a slideshow at the link.]

Happy Birthday Willie.
