Viggo's popularity with the horses and horse-crew on LOTR

[liquifex]

Honestly, I didn't even know who Viggo was until this movie...since then I did a ton of research, etc. He seems like such an awesome, truly down to earth and real person.

[badgergirl1002]

I love Viggo he is the best!! If I could be taught by him in a horse back riding lesson I would die. That's one of my goals in life: have Viggo teach me in a lesson.

[Mondoblasto0]

Note on stall door: "Yes, I AM A Movie Star" lol

[24h0peMC]

As much as i love Elijah, Viggo is my true hero! :)

[chocolatte04]

Despite rumours to the contrary... LOL!

[McMakisha]

"go to the stables and sleep with the horse." awww.

[greasergirl22hannah]

i love horses♥ and viggo is such a sweetheart. hes always been the one person ive always wanted to meet in my life ( thats famous)

[Eldariel15]

Viggo is great. a great actor and he has great personality. There are to less Viggos in this world.

[retrothefox]

I LOVE Viggo to bits - I actually want to marry him xD

[kittikatz777]

i LOVE how aragorn actually has brego. that's just amazing :D

[EmmurrCB]

I want to marry him now. :P

[ImWatchinTheTube]

He's just as amazing in Appaloosa! Great movie!

[hannah96banana]

what viggo does is the way it should be. he goes beyond what's expected and goes to make it more than just a job. he's amazing.

[DragonFire8745]

i wonder how brego is doing now and if viggo actually spends time with him

[geckofan]

@DragonFire8745 he's on his ranch in idaho where mr mortensen spends a lot of time, apparently

[DragonFire8745]

@geckofan hmmm

[TomValedro]

viggo is so cool

[mrbignerd]

And Megan Fox wonders why she was cut from Transformers? Spielberg cut her cause she was too busy texting and showing up late to rehearsals. Viggo, on the other hand, goes above and beyond what is expected of him and is the reason why he is such a great actor. I wish him luck in the future, hope he gets more roles soon!

[explodingplant2]

@mrbignerd That's a bad comparison. Transformers is not LotR and Megan Fox was used by Michael Bay like a prop, mainly for her ass and her lips. People are inspired to work hard for LotR because of the dedication and integrity of Peter and the crew. Transformers--I mean really does anyone really care? Anyways, Viggo's an outstanding guy. The horse rumor is just another rumor Dominic's been spreading in addition to the bearded lady :p

[huntin4live]

coming from a horse background family. Anyone can see how much Viggo loves his horses. A Great Actor and horse riding you can see it in his films from Lord of the Rings to the Western (which I like the best).

[GreenwithEnvyx]

Viggo really is a generous, kind and loving person. His random acts of kindness and understanding are incredible every time I hear about them. Viggo does = real life Aragorn and, it is true as musicalxtide said that if you look past his awesomeness, he really is a strange cookie lol. but a wonderful and strange cookie he is.

anyway. it makes me happy there are good people in the world. the world needs more people like him.

[bluephoenix52]

The sad music in the background made this seem much more serious than it actually is, lol.

[JellyBears100]

Viggo= Real Life Aragorn!

[musicalxtide]

For one second looked past his awesomeness..... and saw what a strange cookie he is! ;o

[algrene]

He's AWESOME

[thesupernaturalfiles]

This is part of why I respect and admire Viggo so much. I think he's a fantastic actor but his kindness to his horses and the people around him are what really make him stand out.

[Crescentwolf01]

That was very heartwarming watching that that Viggo had a soft heart to buy that horse for her ^^

[KitttyNinja]

Awww, so sweet!

[HawleyChanna]

he seems like such a sweetheart! especially with animals. anyone that is that great with animals has to be a great person, animals sense that about them

[humrH2360]

So that's why he did such a good job in Hidalgo...

[meltz911]

Viggo is a true human.

[Nightshade715]

That was so sweet! ^_^

[TheBumbleBunny]

aww nice of Viggo

[RyanWatchesNaruto]

aww viggo ;D

[wildhorsesavior555]

I LOVE to ride :)

[ginnypotter071]

omg viggo. just fell in love again.

[ginnypotter071]

omg viggo. just fell in love again.

[Serena2009ification]

Bah, I sooo wish I wasn't allergic to horses. :( They are awesome, and so is Viggo.

[snubaby]

Wow viggo is such a sweet heart ♥

[ljbain5]

anyone that can win the trust of an animal like he can has GOT to be a Fantastic Being

[Iluvcheesepi]

Yay

[Amosral]

Watching these videos it helps you understand part of the reason the film and the characters are so likeable; because the prinicpal actors all seem to be such genuinely nice people who get along really well and really care.

[downundercolour]

This was a great video - thanks for posting it. We love horses, and we love Viggo!

If you love horses, check out our channel for videos of the Most Beautiful Paint Stallion ever, CHIEF. I posted a video response of one of his babies above (Sonya).

[myagalactic]

i love animals, became a fan of this guy

[xxxxxPippinxxxxx]

"ive made a lot of friends in new zealand. but hes without question my best friend"

that line just blew me away! what a beautiful man, openly saying something like that. not many people would, he is a rare and wonderful human being.

[awagamgnalaw]

the world needs more Viggos. seriously.

[loxinder]

strange man

[mycatsnameishoudini]

Anyone else got teary eyed?

[mhgirsl]

@mycatsnameishoudini a little

[MiraSekelsky]

His gift to Jane Abbot makes me cry each time I watch this. He is such a gentle, kind person; no wonder Ureas took a shine to him. Jane's right - when he's on a horse, he does look like he's supposed to be there.

[Phantomluvr23]

Horses are amazing creatures, and viggo is lucky to be able to work with such fine ones :) he is an increadible horseman.

[EngineFuel]

Viggo, you have a Heart of Gold. Thank you.

[swimteamizzle1114]

Alright Brego, go next to Viggo, and now push him!

Hilarious!

[roksoulja84]

wow thats pretty damn amazing how viggo bought one of the crew/ staff person a stallion..... i woulda been speechless if i was that staff... i mean its not like he gaver the staff like some candy bar or something a friggin stallion which probably cost i dun even kno how much but pretty sure really really expensive.... awesome on viggos part

[Emma8887]

Love the little note on Uraeus stable:

Yes I AM A MOVIE STAR

[ereyes312]

Cool. I heard that Viggo also bought one of the horses from "Hidalgo".

[StarGreg]

More than half of these commenters are definetly women being like: "Omfgaaad it viggooooh" XD Lulz hes an good actor but I just cannot understand how these ladies get so "Flushed" by viggo XP

[ebethcat]

@StarGreg would be awesome if all people, not just women, not just men, would be this compassionate....If mostly women responding.... it's because women are usually more compassionate and more caring than men...The way of the world, the way of life....Get over it or change who you are deep inside... It's called a maternal, loving, caring,instinctive way in which Viggo must have learned from being raised in such a stable, loving, caring, knowledgeable home. in which I praise God for.. AMEN

[pianolar]

three dislikes??????????? they must have pressed the wrong button....... that can be the only answer.... i love watching this video over and over. he is such a great guy.

[lonlyghostgirl]

@anneat

uk. but it'll be a long gtime before i can get one.

[Anneat]

@lonlyghostgirl

I know through one of the girls that worked for me has an aunt with a horse stud in the UK if you're interested in horses maybe you coud go for a visit?

[lonlyghostgirl]

@Anneat still i havent the land or money. just a life long dream bit like getting an impala.

[MaidenofNight]

Viggo is amazing. <3 And he looks damn sexy on a horse. He's such an amazing actor, he lives the part, and I start to believe he IS Aragorn. Seeing his work always puts me in a good mood. He has to be one of my favorite actors of all time.

[ebethcat]

This is the kind of goodness that makes Viggo such a good artist! Watching him in LotR really helped me and inspired me through a very difficult time in my life. He doesn't just act, he lives the part. He helped me realize that there is still goodness in the world with good people! Thank you, Viggo, you really helped save me!

[PFIET]

this made me love him even more! dude i would soo die if some1 bought me a horse! good for you viggo u made her day!

[Anneat]

@PFIET Where abouts are you? I am in the Macedon Ranges Victoria Australia and breed Arabians. annie

[PFIET]

@Anneat thats cool! i live in Arizona n the only connections i hav to the horse world are magazines,TV n Internet lol

[tiffnmisti]

apparently he has bought his horse in every movie he's been in how cool:)

[lonlyghostgirl]

wow. hell, i'd die if someone bought me a horse, it was so sweet of him, she was the riding double for arwen wasn't she.

aww hell to studying i'm getting myself a grey when i'm older.

[Anneat]

@lonlyghostgirl I breed Arabians where abouts are you?

[Anneat]

@lonlyghostgirl

Where abouts are you located?. I'm going through old posts and you sent me a reply a year ago which got lost in the system. I own the famous Silver Arabian dancing Stallion El Kydal Kairo. I sometimes give gifts of his foals away to loving and special homes.

Annie

[lonlyghostgirl]

@Anneat The UK, but i havent the money to take care of a horse, nor the land

[BlackKat71]

"But I didn't sleep WITH the horse" lmao!!

[94DeltaX]

What a guy! :) Now that's a real man!

[katisawriter]

Wow Viggo is really about the craft. That's what makes him stand out from other actors.

[Womaaahn]

Viggo is an extremely intelligent, kind and generous person, which is the most attractive thing about him!

[1breyerhorsegurl]

i just gained so much more respect for viggo =)

[foolersqueen]

wow. good looking guy that likes horses. not very often do ya find that.

[Phalanxification]

@foolersqueen 2 words. Dude ranch.

(lol)

[dxinsider]

Viggo + horses = love!!! he is a true saint.

[Theriot6592]

This guy totally deserved at least an oscar nomination

[leverymerica]

omg, that was so sweet of viggo.

[0ForcePower0]

Truly a great guy.

[Tinashowa]

He sounds so heartfelt all the time with his low voice...

[MinamiKana101]

VVVVIIIIIGGGGOOOO!!!!!

[Serenissima84]

I think Vigo has a way better attitude about coping with horses than many "horsewomen" I've ever known in my horseriding time so far.

[HavEnGodJul]

wish i was just half as good at riding as they are :) and love Viggo :) always seem so calm

[arwen54]

Viggo is just the best, best person. If only more people were as kind and generous as he is.

[EvilKillerFlan]

Wow... beautiful. Viggo is... i don't know, AMAZING and so kind. It's hard to put in words what this man is.

[Ganpignanus]

What a great video. Beautiful horses and kind human beings. Viggo is a great actor and it was a brilliant move on his part to bond with his horse, it made the movie so much more real. I love horses, being around them and riding them. The horses were special stars of the Lord of the Rings movies. There would be no question of making such a movie without them. Shadowfax/Blanco looked like some unearthly, celestial creature - gorgeous. They fell in love with their horses and bought them - perfect.

[OrginalKork]

True true clean human being

[DeadPool1091]

That is so AWESOME that Viggo payed for the horse for her!!!! LOVE VIGGO ONE OF THE BEST ACTORS EVER!!

[DancesWithHorses123]

is this in the extended version dvd box trioligy? :)

[OmgitsNeens]

This is really just an adorable video. I would have never expected that he had actually formed a strong bond with the horse. And buying the horse for the women was such a sweet thing to do, you can tell that she was extremely touched.

[Womaaahn]

Wow...what and extremely kind and generous thing for Viggo to do, buying the horse for her. What an amazing human being he must be!

[Ryttaren95]

I love viggo O.o

[MinasTirith45]

That is a perfect friendship!!

[rockfootfootfoot]

i used to know someone who looked a lot like Viggo, but he moved :`(

[EvilKillerFlan]

Aww >:

[MangarraPark]

I used to ride Florian many years ago when he was newly broken in and had a nervous twitch in his lips. I adored that horse and I'm so glad to know that he finally ended up in such a good home.

[OperaNotes]

wow. viggo just keeps getting better and better in my mind. can anybody be compared to him? how boring all the men of this world seem next to him and his sweet heart.

[DazzledRose93]

that horse reared high :O whoa

[waipolipoli]

this really goes to show you what horses will do to your heart. My horse is my best friend too.

[lavender8881]

omg he is such a sweetie (viggo)

[darkhorsefan15]

he is so awesome its crazy. He REALLLY seems like SUCH a sweet,devoted guy! plus he is SOO attracvtive! He is just GORGOUS! :'{

OMIGOSH! :O ;O :O

[whatsername21287]

Viggo is so unbelievably handsome to me, and the fact that he is good with horses makes him even more attractive. What a great story--thanks for sharing this!

[vampirefirewolf]

Sorry whatsername21287, i meant to thumbs up your post. And DazzledRose93, she might have told that horse to rear since he was trained to.

[hazza120]

The noble stories of the shoot go on and on. It's amazing

[Bottery]

Lolol Hidalgo in the making

[Nightxfox12]

is Jane.... Arewen?

[HeartlessArchangel93]

no, she was liv tyler (arwen)'s stunt double for the bits where they were doing the galloping and jumping and stuff.

[HorseshoeGirl1]

i believe that she was the stunt woman for Arwen (did all the hard riding) but I'm not completely sure.

[L3itaGR]

Arwens' horse is one of the most beautiful stalions!!!

[lotrfreakkk]

aww the horse is viggo's best friend :o)

[StargateSG1Rules]

viggo did look great on a horse i saw that!

[KultaKeksii]

Lol at the rumours spreading. Dominic, most likely.

[Lomelindi88]

Is the white horse the one that played Shadowfax in the movie?

Aw, this whole video was so sweet. Viggo did look GREAT on a horse, it was amazing seeing that throughout the movies.

[Lomelindi88]

Sorry, I meant the white horse in the middle of the video, not the one that played Arwen's horse at the end of the video.

[llewsedwod]

I think the oen your on about is Snowmane, Theoden's horse..

[lovexjonas44]

aww wat a cute hor-se

[66richardson]

"He'd actually go into the stales and sleep with the horse"

LLOLOLOLOLOL

[MartinandLewis642]

Viggo bought his horse Brego after all the movies were done. I think it's so cute =)

[SenseiDonGraham]

It's good to see actors who aren't brainwashed by Hollywood. Actors like Viggo who have real morals, values, and truly enjoy life.

[FlyingDwarfzz]

i agree. if these movies were made with more "i wonder who my 22nd wife/husband is gunna be" people, even peter jacksons skills couldn't save it.

[TheShadowwolf88]

@SenseiDonGraham

Is´nt Viggo danish?

[mondydsp]

@TheShadowwolf88 Yes, he is. :-)

[LuthienofOssiriand]

"Mae carnen, Brego, mellon nin."

("Well done, Brego, my friend")

[nameofthepen]

A story to make the soul fly like a bird. :-)

[ppyyoonnii]

He is so hardworking.

[holyadvocate]

Viggo is a real man... closer to a real man than anyone else anyway...

He is the stuff of heroes... the heroes of the past were men like Viggo, or damn close

He really DOES have the blood of kings...

[puppyparty]

Wow, that was extremely kind of Viggo!

[Terradreamer]

Viggo's one of those few male actors who women love and men think are awesome.

[LadyArwenFC]

sleep with the horse? lmao

[weemanling]

He looks alot better with long dark hair.

[eBooeBoo]

Viggo is such a sweetie!

[sirnosmirc]

viggos so cool XD

[wolfblood11]

i would of loved to buy that stallion too. he is so gorgeous

[awagamgnalaw]

[geveva18]

Gosh, Viggo is just awesome. =]

[claudi9000]

[lukap33]

[hayleyj999]

[Shatallion]

2:30 I believe I saw that horse...

[Pamathey]

wow- him pushing Viggo was pretty cool.

[LadyCobweb]

That was such a beautiful move on his part. He is an amazing horseperson and just understands the bond that forms between those of us who ride, love, and respect them and the animals themselves. What an awesome story!

[jess401]

Beautiful Andalusian

[pagielme4ever]

The guy is amazing,

[padfootrocksmysocks]

[SHOWJUMPING1991]

i loved the horse that played brègo in lotr so much i called my new horse after him URAEUS and they look so alike too its scarey.

that was so sweet of viggo to do that for jane.

[machadomarkus]

Horses are very interesting creatures...

[princessfip]

Viggo must be really rich to just randomly think, "oh, i think i'll buy Jane a horse today."

lol

but very sweet

[frenchbunny]

the story of viggo buying that horse made me want to cry.

viggo is such a wonderful person..swoon
