Surprisingly, Weyman hasn't actually been holding this secret for years. In fact, he was only told about the Gandalf reveal during the tail-end of filming The Rings of Power season 2 in Tenerife. "I actually found out when they were about to break down the internal sets for Tom Bombadil ['s] house," Weyman says.

Literally right before filming that scene was the first time I learned that I was going to utter those words.”

In the season finale, the mysterious, gray-haired wizard, played by Daniel Weyman, finally learns his name, acknowledging, “Gandalf. That’s what they’re going to call me, isn’t it?”
