<p>Aidan Turner has revealed he is growing out his beard for his forthcoming role in Peter Jackson&#8217;s The Hobbit.</p>
<p>The Irish actor is playing dwarf Kili in the Lord Of The Rings prequel, and is deciding what sort of look he should go for.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m growing out the beard &#8211; we&#8217;re giving it a chance, [and] seeing what it looks like,&#8221; he told Entertainment Weekly. </p>
<p>He denied the facial hair was to &#8220;de-handsomify&#8221; him, saying: &#8220;No, not really. I mean, famously in the books, the dwarves have really long beards, so we&#8217;re just trying stuff out and seeing what it looks like.&#8221;</p>
<p>Aidan, who plays vampire Mitchell in the BBC Three series Being Human, is undergoing boot camp at the moment to prepare for the part.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s dwarf boot camp, not really hobbit boot camp. It&#8217;s just all dwarves &#8211; training and stuff,&#8221; he continued. </p>
<p>&#8220;I can&#8217;t really give too much away, you know? But it&#8217;s pretty much everything. It&#8217;s physical training and everything you can imagine, really. I guess just working as an actor helps you for these things. It&#8217;s more physical than anything else, but there&#8217;s dialect coaching and all those kind of things.&#8221;</p>
<p>Martin Freeman will portray lead hobbit Bilbo Baggins in the two-part adaptation, with the first part scheduled for release in 2012.</p>
