"I hope by the time my life is over I’ve given them something else to talk about," he said of the fans, "but I think in all reality I think it’s very likely that they’ll be calling me Bilbo."
They'll be calling you Bilbo? No, no, we're quite content calling you John. Not that Bilbo isn't awesome too.

He will always be "John" to me. I loved him as Bilbo, but as soon as I left the movie theater, it was back to John. Come to think of it, I spent a lot of the movie comparing Bilbo to John. Well, I'm an 'older and wiser' fan. The younger crowd can have him as Bilbo. When they get older, they might appreciate him in Sherlock as well.

I, too, sat through "The Hobbit" comparing Bilbo to John. Both of them went on an adventure, right? In both, Martin is NOT the lead man.
