Oh god. It took me so many LotR memes in the comments to get it. I was wondering why no one was commenting on the 2000-year-old friend. I figured that the 111-year-old was a dead relative and he got the ring many decades ago.
It always bothered me the huge discrepancy between the book ages and the movie ages. They were just to old to go on an adventure. Take to mind i watched the movie first as a kid. Now that im older though if I had an uncle that sent me on a journey with a cursed artifact I wouldnt even bat an eye. Id take my 32m ass straight to Mordor with no more fucks to give.
I read an estimate somewhere that he could be up to 56,000 years old. Of course it's just an estimate based on different notes and letters by Tolkien so it depends which of his writings you find "more canon."
In online posts you often see like "my (23F) boyfriend (44M)" meaning the person asking is a 23 year old female with a 44 year old male boyfriend. Often they're asking advice on quite insane scenarios.
Nah, if you read the books he was like 90% sure for a LOT of years. Worst case, they take an early and unopposed trip to Mount Doom and burn up a regular ring by mistake.
Unopposed? Sauron wasn't openly active but definitely still around. He 'fled' Mirkwood and returned to Mordor during Bilbo's journey. Minas Tirith has been regularly clashing with his power for a long time- Minas Morgul became evil and was renamed long before that.

I think Gandalf is closer to 20,000 years old.

Well first thing you need to do is get your gardener to help you.

Keep it secret. Keep it safe. It's funny. More time passed in the first two chapters of Fellowship than the entire rest of the books

I'm pretty sure that Gandalf was older than 2,019 by the time the events of LotR happened.

His spirit was, but his crusty old scrotum wasn't.

Yet, after all why not? Why shouldn't you keep it?
Sakkura
Gandalf is much, much older than that. He's literally older than the world.
arkaboop
His physical form is just over 2,000 years old. As a Maiar he's around 24,000 give or take
Frazmatazz
Controversial take: I don't think anything edited and published posthumously should be considered canon.
Drix1942
I read an estimate somewhere that he could be up to 56,000 years old. Of course it's just an estimate based on different notes and letters by Tolkien so it depends which of his writings you find "more canon."

Frodo was actually 33 when Bilbo gave him the ring. There was a time skip of 17 years after Bilbo's 111th birthday party.

Yeah if Gandalf had been a bit quicker at the library, the trip to Mount Doom would’ve been a simple errand.

How many times can you trapse through Mordor with dud rings to yeet into a volcano before the locals get suspicious though?
