Actor Stephen Fry is back in Wellington filming The Hobbit, fighting jet lag with the help of Kiwi coffee.
Fry, who plays the Master of Laketown in the two-part film version of the Tolkien classic, arrived in Wellington on Wednesday and began work yesterday.
Famous for his prolific tweeting , he wrote he was "Off to work in a sunny Wellington. My brain has quite simply no idea who I am what I'm doing or how to operate its legs. Ho hum".
He kept his fans up-to-date this morning, letting the world know he had slept in.
"Gaaah. Overslept. Driver had to ring my doorbell - On way to make up ashamed. First time in 30 years I've not been up in time for a pick up," he said.
Later adding: "I'm the kind of person who'd rather be an hour early than half a minute late. Everyone v sweet as someone was later so I don't feel so bad."
The actor also seemed to pick up spirits with the help of a little caffeine injection: "Worth travelling the world for the sake of a good New Zealand Flat White..."
Fry was last in New Zealand for filming The Hobbit in August 2011. The first part of the film, An Unexpected Journey, is due out in December.
