Sharing when she got to know about being selected as Galadriel, Morfydd said, "I was getting my makeup done at a hotel for a premiere when the phone rang. It was my agent, who said, ‘You got it, you got it, but you can't tell anyone.'”

Morfydd was surprised and nearly speechless. "I was like okay cool, cool. It had to be a secret, an absolute secret. To the people doing my hair and makeup, I said, 'something big happened, but I can't tell you what it is.'"

She let the happiness sink in. "At the premiere, the whole time I was thinking, 'Wow I got the job in The Rings of Power' and we watched the film it was lovely, Got on the stage for Q&A afterwards and hid the deck, just passed out.

I managed to just go off the stage, I was looking at my sister and suddenly I couldn't see her anymore and I was like I have to get off stage and it's filmed as well, where you kind of see me wandering off slightly, glassy-eyed and then I was caught by a security guard which was really nice" the actress shared.
