Re: There's Something About Viggo (quotes from others about Viggo)


I LOVE how you titled this, Deni!


I'll put up a few.


"The guy is a stud with women just following him around wherever he goes. But he is the last one who'll ask anyone to do anything for him. He'd rather just go do it himself."

Elijah Wood, Frodo Baggins in Lord of the Rings

"He brought to Aragorn this huge internal life that you don't see as much in the book. As filming progressed he became more and more Aragorn, and less and less Viggo."

Miranda Otto, Eowyn in Lord of the Rings

"He was always taking out stuntmen and buying them beer because he hit them one too many times. He just goes for it. Viggo's energy is endless. He knows no limit."

Orlando Bloom, Legolas in Lord of the Rings

(That last one from Orlando had my mind going wild, esp. the energy part).

"He'll show up at your door barefoot. It's real with him - it's not an affectation. He is very much of the earth. He's relaxed and in the moment and he brings real emotions to the table. He's very human with great artistic sensibilities."

Dennis Hopper
Super Natural, by Anna David, Daily Telegraph 2002

Jane Campion, who directed The Portrait of a Lady, says Mortensen was shy at first. "Nicole [Kidman] and I had to beat him up. We called him Kiddie just to try and get him to treat us like pals. Of course, eventually we warmed him up so much we couldn't control him."

The Virtuoso Bad Boy Takes a Gentlemanly Turn in The Portrait of a Lady
Jodie Burke, UK Premiere Magazine 1997



I didn't know he was in this I have to add it to my list.

“Viggo was the perfect guy to play Aragorn. He's the perfect actor, if I can be as bold as to say that. In fact, I think he's pretty much the man.”

~ Orlando Bloom, Empire Magazine, January 2005


This was funny and cute too.

I liked that.
Everyone just adored Viggo, didn't they? I love hearing them talk about him on the DVD extras.

Yes everyone does seem to love Viggo, here's another-


"Viggo Mortensen is an extraordinary person, [but] I suspect him to have a serious defect somewhere. This is just not possible, I never met someone who has no defect at all. He's got everything: he's kind, he's generous, he's tender, he's a pacifist, tolerant--I am also like that, I like tolerant people--and he helps everyone. He writes poems, he makes photos... That's extraordinary, he's handsome, he acts well... Then you say to yourself, it is NOT possible, such people don't exist. I didn't succeed in finding it, but there must be a defect, you can't be like that, perfect! (laughs)"

Aidan Devine (Ed Harris' henchman in HoV):

“As far as A History of Violence is concerned, I couldn’t believe they were actually paying me to be on the same set with Ed Harris and Viggo Mortensen,” says Devine.

“They are such consummate actors you learn just by watching them, and they both have such incredible work ethics.”

Devine adds Mortensen is “also one of the nicest guys you’d ever want to meet. He’d bring doughnuts to the set and make sure you had your share, and he knew everybody’s name.”
