Liv Tyler recalls hungover horse riding

Liv Tyler finds it hard to "locate" her inner-elf when she's hungover.

The actress took on the role of mythical creature Arwen in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. She loved her time on set with director Peter Jackson and the rest of the cast, but admits they sometimes had a bit too much fun.

"We were in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do," she recalled to Empire magazine, drawing on a time when rain left Arrowtown in New Zealand, where the movies were filmed, completely flooded. "After 24 hours of waiting, we all went to the pub.

"I thought we were going to be stranded, and we drank so much tequila and had so much fun.

"I was so hungover [when I was called to set the next day]. I had to pretend I was riding a horse, which was really a barrel, kicking it, going, 'Errrgh.' Locating my inner-elf on that particular occasion was a challenge."

The 37-year-old hasn't managed to see Peter, who's been busy shooting The Hobbit series, since they wrapped. But she says she'd really like to and is hopeful the whole cast will manage a reunion.

With so many fond memories, it's no wonder Liv hung on to some props.

"I have my sword in the attic," she smiled. "I take it out occasionally to show people. I wish I had more. God, I should have saved so much stuff. I can still remember some of my Elvish lines..."
