Mr Good Bard
"There have been moments where I have maybe not taken the right road. You can try to make up for it but sometimes you can't. It is too late. And there are times too that are part of survival as well where you instinctively fight incorrectly. A friend reminds me that I am on the wrong path, in my relationship with them or what I am doing, but the ego doesn't want to hear about it. We don't want to be reminded sometimes of what we are doing. We don't want to look in the mirror, or look in the eyes of someone who knows you well and justify yourself. I think we like to think of ourselves doing the right thing more often than we do it. But life is not black and white. It is usually more uncomfortably in the middle."

From an ELLE Quebec interview:
The type of woman that attracts Viggo
How is this friendship disrupted by the insertion of a woman of intrigue, played by Renée Zellwegger?
"I can’t exactly tell you how! But let’s say I really like Renée’s role. She’s depicting a complex woman, perhaps manipulative, but very touching in the way she admits her fear of being alone. In that way she shows herself to be both vulnerable and honest."
Is this the kind of woman that attracts you?
“I like women who are honest, with others and with themselves. And if I’m lucky, with me too! “(laughs)
You’ve met such women?
(long silence) “Honest women are rare, you know...”
Why do you say that?
(He evades the question and turns it back to me: ) “Why do you think?”
Err....my opinion? Let’s say that it happens that some women are more attached to their image than to their true nature.
“Indeed, but it’s not just women that are trapped by their image and who dare not express what they really are. The same goes for men. Such men are sometimes caught up in their idea of masculinity and the roles they believe they have to play in society, or in their private life. And of course, one has to be ready to take risks to be in a couple. In fact I think that having the courage to be oneself is the most difficult thing in the world. The most essential and also the most magnificent."

Your Question
Have you ever spoken to Stuart Townsend since replacing him as Aragorn?
I wrote to him when i arrived in New Zealand to start work on the trilogy, but have never met him. I did finally come across him one night in Los Angeles in late 2001. Driving on Santa Monica Boulevard - with Orlando Bloom as my passenger, as fate would have it - i pulled up to a red light. It turned out that Stuart was stopped next to us. Orlando, who knows Stuart fairly well, spotted him. We rolled down our windows and greeted each other. He seems a very good person and is obviously a serious artist.

MORTENSEN BLASTED FOR DAREDEVIL STUNTS
Daredevil actor VIGGO MORTENSEN angered director ED HARRIS on the set of new movie APPALOOSA, by challenging a stuntman to a dangerous horseriding race.
After perfecting his equestrian skills on the set of movie Hidalgo, Mortensen dared a co-star to a race while standing on the horses' saddles - and invited cast and crewmembers to bet on the outcome.
The Danish actor's saddle slipped and he fell to the ground at high speed. He was unhurt, but Harris was furious his star risked his health, and yelled, "What the hell do you think you're doing?" reports the National Enquirer.
Mortensen was banned from riding horses for the remainder of the shoot.

80th Academy Awards Nominees
Congratulations to Viggo for the deserved nomination as Best Actor for his amazing performance as Nikolai in David Cronenberg's "Eastern Promises". :D
Reactions to the announcement of this year's Oscar nominees:
"No, if there's a strike I will not go but I have a feeling they'll solve it. I hope they do. I'm sure my mom would like to see me on TV and so forth, but if there's a strike I'm not crossing the line." - Viggo Mortensen, nominated for best actor for "Eastern Promises." source
"There were a lot of candidates and a lot of the awards shows or organizations this year have had different mixes of people. It was nice to see Tommy Lee Jones in there. He hadn't been in so much of the mix and when I saw his name come up and there was only one name left to go, I thought, `Naah, well, there's no way (I'll be nominated).' So to be honest, I was quite surprised." — Viggo Mortensen, on his best actor nomination for "Eastern Promises." source

Viggo should get Oscar nod, says director
Viggo Mortensen was nominated for a Best Actor Golden Globe for Eastern Promises, but director David Cronenberg reckons he should be in line for an Oscar nod too.
The filmmaker has been at the helm of two of the New York-born actor's latest films - A History Of Violence and Eastern Promises, in which he plays Nikolai, a member of the Russian underground mafia in London.
Viggo lost out to There Will Be Blood star Daniel Day-Lewis at the Globes, but David thinks he should be in the running for an Academy Award.
"I think it's a long time coming," said David at the Bafta LA tea party in the US.
"Viggo has been a fantastic performer for years, he's very subtle, he's never showboating, it's always about the character, and I think that's why it's taken people so long to realise he's not just a good actor he's a great actor.
"A History Of Violence and this one seem to have catapulted him. He's been around for a long time and he's always been a great actor."

The people spoke and sang
Viggo Mortensen was impressive, reading in both English and Spanish at Wednesday night's taping of the "The People Speak" at the Cutler Majestic Theatre. But his a cappella version of Bob Dylan's "Masters of War" prompted the first standing ovation of the night.source

"I have three free periods in a row today, so I decided to go to the mall and lounge around with some friends. In the parking lot, a man got out of a mercedes benz and walked towards the front door. It was Viggo Mortensen.

I caught up with him, and stupidly said, "Umm...A-are you V-v-vigo mortensen?". He laughed and turned towards me. "Wow, I never thought people actually recognized me."
I was so nervous I said "You were amazing in "Eastern Promises". He smiled and pat me on the shoulder. "Thanks, glad you liked it!", he said, and walked into the mall.
I got him to sign my wallet, and let him be. He's from around my area of New York, so it makes sense he was here."

From the book "Sean Penn: His Life And Times" by Richard T Kelly
About Viggo and Indian Runner :
Sean Penn: "I was over at Robin's little house in Santa Monica Canyon, waiting for her to get dressed for a date. The television was on, sound off, and I saw a face: he was only a cameo in a movie (Fresh Horses) , but I saw the face that I'd had in my head when I wrote Indian Runner. He had something, an angularity, a severity to his handsomeness that I perceived as being like Frank. So I watched the movie through, and I called Don [Phillips] and said, 'Find out who he is.' "
Don Phillips:"We sent the script (Indian Runner) to Viggo...he was our man and we were off and running."
David Morse:
"During the rehearsal period, Sean really encouraged Viggo & myself, and Valeria and Patrica (Arquette), to spend as much time together as we could, to really blur the lines of our professional relationships and make them more intimate. Se we'd go to the county Fair [Omaha] as a foursome and so on. We all wanted this authenticity...."
Sean Penn:
"I had written that Frank steals a car and intentionally goes into a wealthier neighborhood..robs a gas station and abandons it by the side of a road. Mike asked me, "Why does he go to a rich neighborhood?" I said, "you know..." and he said "Well, if it's resentment towards the rich, why let the rich kids get their car back? Just burn the F'ker." I said "Yeah!" And that happened to come at an imp't time for such a visual in the movie."
David Morse:
"Do I think Frank and Joe are two sides of Sean? ...I would say yes, I do"
"Viggo and I were going to rehearse for rtwo weeks, but we were only going to rehearse our big scene in the bar. ... during those 2 weeks, I have a feeling it was harder for Viggo because Sean identified more that that role and he would really try to push him to do certain things. But Viggo just kept holding back. He never really DID the scene in those two weeks."
Sean Penn:
"Viggo is, by nature, a very poetic character: he IS a poet, and a painter. And some of his poetic nature was very good for the part, in the moment of tenderness with Patricia. but I did find that when he was photographed head-to-toe, some of the danger of Frank would go out the door: Viggo's inherent kindness as a guy showed in a sort of languid movement. And that was a lesson for me about what parts of people express themselves without trying. So he did some work...to try to overcome that...I needed an edge in that space from head to toe, there was a clear and present danger.
David Morse:
"I think Sean was still a little nervous going into that bar scene...and something happened, it crystallized and suddenly Viggo was on fire.
Sean Penn:
I think I stimulated viggo's temper. And as i remember, I think I got a little personal. But I think he was professionally responsive, he knew where to go for what I was looking for. When you're abusive to an actor, it's one thing - when you're abusive to a character, it's another. And I think I found it was helpful to both of us to raise my own tempo a little bit, and get in the same place as him, share the vibe...."

Back in 1986 Exene had this really handsome boyfriend poet who was struggling as an actor. Technically, Exene was still married to band co-founder John Doe (who is also a poet), but this new guy was funny, spontaneous, intelligent, romantic, talented and totally enamored with Exene. Back then I thought Curt Kirkwood was the sexiest man alive (I still had a guitar-player fixation leftover from my ex-husband) so I didn’t pay much attention to Exene’s Viggo. I thought the song she wrote for Viggo, “You”, was endearing, though I often wondered how John Doe felt in the studio hearing his wife record a song about falling in love with another man . ( Machelle Dunlop)
YOU
You take a chance
fall in love with a man
3000 miles away.
Try to call and picture his stance
at the pay phone down the hall.
Let me know when you go to bed
Talk to me during the day
'Cause I'm stuck on you
like flies to glue or trash on broadway.
(CHORUS)
You call me from 8th Avenue,
You don't have a phone.
I wanna call you and it makes me sad
because I can't talk to you and I wanna talk to you
And I wanna talk to you.
Hey you, I'm calling you.
Somewhere on my body if you look real close, you'll find you.
You'll find you.
Talk to me while Puerto Rican prostitutes ask for a date
and 2 kids are makin' fun of a bum who fell flat on his face.
You put polaroids into my pocket,
Walked home from La Guardia.
You asked me to dance in the rain in the woods on Staten Island.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Hey, you.

Is It Hot in Here, Or Is It Just Viggo?
In a David Cronenberg movie, people usually talk about the violence, such as in, well, "A History of Violence." That probably won't be true with his new film, "Eastern Promises." It's a thriller starring Viggo Mortensen as Nikolai, a taciturn chauffeur for a family of Russian mobsters living in London. The biggest scene takes place in a steam room. Nikolai is sitting there in a towel, taking a peaceful shvitz, when two rival mobsters lumber in and attack him. It's incredibly violent, of course, but the really shocking thing is that Mortensen plays the whole four-minute fight completely naked. It's quite possibly the longest male nude scene ever in a mainstream Hollywood film. "In this age of screen grabs, I realize people are going to obsess about it," Mortensen says. "But it's not gratuitous." But wasn't he even a little nervous about exposing himself like that? "That's the advantage of working with a real actor as opposed to a star," says Cronenberg, who took two entire days to shoot the scene. "We weren't worried about you seeing his balls." More likely, Viggo was worried about you thinking about him as Aragorn for the rest of his career. Ever notice how when an actor really wants to move beyond a supersuccessful role, he drops trou? It's the Daniel Radcliffe School of I'm Not Harry Potter Anymore! In any event, Mortensen's fans don't care about his motivation. "I don't want to give you the impression that we're all sex-crazed middle-aged women," says Lynn Gibson, who runs the Viggophile.net fan site. "But we are quite looking forward to it."

He was hanging out with a couple other people enjoying the show.

VIGGO MORTENSEN FAVORS EAU DE FRESH COMPOST.
"He's one of those New Age kind of guys," says fellow LORD OF THE RINGS star Dominic Monaghan. "He doesn't believe in wearing deodorant per se. He uses natural stuff, different types of clays and leaves and berries. We always knew he was in the bar or close by when we couldn't see him because he had this smell. He smelled like a slightly decaying, old, eclectic gardener."

[..] Viggo Mortensen, vibin' to John Doe lyrics at Largo. Fairfax Avenue. City of the Fallen Egos. Planted solo, deep in the banquette room, V.M. (sporting a red soccer shirt and a five o'clock shadow) politely gabbed with blond admirers and sipped on-the-house bevs--still remembering to tip. Vig-doll's interest in Mr. Doe is rooted in history: John once punked out in the band X with Mr. M.'s ex-wife, Exene Cervenka. Ms. C. is reportedly suing V.M. for amped-up child support for their 16-year-old son, Henry.

[...] B.L. Who impressed you most in the cast and why?
D.M. I think it was like that with a lot of actors. That was one of the
great things about the third movie. Because we were all separated,
instead of the Fellowship where you see everyone’s work, in the third
film you think "Wow, Elijah, that was great work, and Orlando and Bill
and Viggo." You’re impressed with everyone’s work, because at that time
everyone is working so hard.
B.L. How about Viggo. Why was he the perfect actor to play Aragorn?
D.M. I don’t think he’s the perfect actor for the role.
B.B. I think you are (to Dominic).
D.M. I think Viggo has a lot of qualities of Aragorn. He completely
commits to what he’s doing, which is what Aragorn eventually does too.
He was a great leader for the actors, especially for some of the young
guys. I know that Orlando had a really great time with Viggo. He just
really commits 100%. He has a lot of fun and there’s always something
going on around Viggo.
B.B. Like flies?
D.M. Yes, he doesn’t shower. But at the end of every day there was
always some kind of party going on in one of our trailers where we have
drinks, hang out, chat. And he was a great guy for bringing together
the camaraderie and reminding us it was a group effort. He kind of led
by example, which is what Aragorn does.

[....]Mr. Nicolayevsky, 70, is a married father of three,
with a strong sexual appetite for good-looking males.
Mr. Nicolayevsky, who moved to Los Angeles in the 1970s, he resides in Aaron Spelling’s former mansion, knew his way around, from Fire Island to Malibu, and West Hollywood apartment buildings. He is close to Calvin Klein and photographer Bruce Weber, who are providing Nicolayevsky with young male models, ever since the ‘80s. He was a landlord to struggling actors like Viggo Mortensen and Tom Cruise, who Yasha claimed to have worked out sexual arrangements to pay their rent for their apartments on Hayworth Av., West Hollywood, CA. To prove his claims, he showed Mark four sexually explicit Polaroids of himself having sex with Tom Cruise who was instantly identified by Mark Bellinghaus. They showed the world’s biggest star in his early Hollywood days, young and almost innocent.

BEST CELEB SIGHTING
Viggo Mortensen, who is starring in a Spanish film, walking down the hallway of the Intercontinental in a beautiful suit speaking another foreign language -- Danish? -- to his companions. This guy acts, paints, writes poetry, is best friends with his teenage son, is multilingual and looks like that? Sigh.
TIFF Fashion day
One of the sexiest men on the planet, Viggo sported a classic Hollywood look on the red carpet for the premiere of Alatriste, a Spanish film based on Arturo Perez-Reverte’s series of novels, The Adventures of Captain Alatriste. Wearing a crisp white mandarin collar shirt with a black button vest and midnight black suit, the star showed the boys how real men get dressed for big events.
