Lord of the Rings
The day after a few friends and I saw The Two Towers (being the second of the LOTR trilogy - and the first one that gollum properly features in) we were sat in our college canteen discussing said Gollum and how clever the actor Andy Serkis had been in his portrayal. Up pips friend:

Friend: 'He was played by an actor!?'
Us: 'Yeah, Andy Serkis'
Friend: 'Oh My God! The poor guy!'
Us: 'Huh? I'm sure he was pretty happy with the role'
Friend: 'Yeah, but he must be so thin. And short.'

Cue much laughter and general ridicule at said friend. We tried to explain the technology behind it but she wouldn't have it. She still goes on about men with anorexia today. Some people.

Bit long, apologies.
