The journey doesn’t end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it.
Apropos of absolutely nothing, here’s Viggo Mortensen eating oatmeal with a pony.
!!! :)
Viggo Mortensen & Sean Bean watch as Orlando Bloom twirls his bow menacingly in the air, preparing for the scene.
Viggo Mortensen: “He’s just in the middle of his preparation.”
Sean Bean: “He’s prepared.”
Orlando Bloom: I’m just trying to focus here, I’m trying to get my objectives and my actions right. Just because you don’t even think about anything like that.”
Orlando Bloom comments, “The humans are slightly threatened by the elf.”
Sean Bean: “Is he posing?” (Directed @Orlando Bloom)
Viggo Mortensen: “Comely elf, isn’t he?”
FUCK ME! Pictures like this need to come with a warning.
- He looks like this
- He speaks fluent English, Spanish, Danish and French
- And is conversational in Italian, Norwegian and Swedish
- He was knighted by the Queen of Denmark in 2010
- He says things like this: “This year’s first day of April was noticeably lacking in April Fool’s jokes as far as mention in the media was concerned. Perhaps this is due to the fact that, with George Bush and Dick Cheney still at the helm of the ship of state, there is no need to single out a particular day for foolishness or nasty pranks in the United States: every day is April Fool’s day in this country for the time being.” (2006)
- And this: “It comes down to the fact that you supply the blue, and they [other actors] supply the other colors and mix them with your blue, and maybe there’s some blue left in the painting and maybe there isn’t. Maybe there wasn’t supposed to be any there in the first place. So have some fun and make a good blue and walk away.”
- He’s not only an actor, but also a poet, painter and photographer and owns a publishing company.
- When he broke a tooth while filming The Lord of the Rings, he asked the crew to glue it back on so he could finish the scene:
- (He also broke two toes kicking an Orc helmet.)
- He was better at horseback riding than his stuntman in Hidalgo.
- He bought the horses he rode in The Lord of the Rings and Hidalgo.
- He also purchased Arwen’s horse to give it to the stuntwoman who rode it.
- He sang Argentinian love songs to Gwyneth Paltrow to calm her down before their love scenes in ‘A Perfect Murder’. It might have ended up scaring her instead.
- etc.
Just read his Wiki page or Google him, I swear, there is even more amazingness to him than this. Dayum. I was sitting here just now reveling.
Can I be Viggo?
He is my hero, I want to accomplish as much as he has and more, he is an amazing human being, etc etc etc.
