Why Sauron Cried After Killing Celebrimbor

Actor Charlie Vickers, who plays Sauron in "The Rings of Power," recently revealed that he cried after killing Celebrimbor in the show's finale. This emotional reaction was not planned but stemmed from Sauron's complex relationship with Celebrimbor and his own personal failings. Sauron often kills matter-of-factly, but Celebrimbor was different - they were partners in crime, and Sauron respected him. However, Celebrimbor chose to die rather than reveal the location of the rings, which Sauron needed desperately.

This defiance and the realization that he was now a slave to these creations drove Sauron to lose control and kill Celebrimbor. This emotional outburst is unusual for the typically controlled Sauron, making it more interesting to watch than his usual dispatching of enemies. The crying scene hints at Sauron's moral ambiguity, suggesting he may struggle with his quest for control in future seasons.
