Billy Boyd is not broke (tabloid lies spread quickly)

Truth: from a nice long interview in no1magazine.co.uk, Billy being modest about money:

Q: you ever tempted to retire after Lord of the Rings and just go and live the good life in the sun somewhere?
A: I don’t have any money!

Q: You must have a couple of dimes?
A: But we were unknown actors – we did it for peanuts, and for food.

Lies: fake teaser line (not a pullquote): LORD of the Rings actor Billy Boyd claims he is broke and earned very little from the films and lying photo caption: Penniless... Boyd. This lie was started by The Sun online (deliberately broken link)

I just found this community. XD Thanks for sharing this...It's too bad certain places in the media prefer making up lies just for the hits, rather than telling the truth. Poor Billy. -_-;;
