Michael Phillips interviews Viggo Mortensen

[deathinreturn]

My last name is Mortensen as well ^^ we're not related though.

And I know he was born in America and stuff, but still, I have to say: We Danes rule. Go Viggo! You rule!

[Usernaminvalid1]

People who hate the beard and moustache, it was for his role in Appaloosa! Not all haircuts etc. are always the choice of the actor, it's for the caracters! You know cause it's their work!

[wheresthecabin]

0:50 at first glance i actually thought that was Kristen Stewart..

[SimAlex20000]

i have a huge respect for viggo. i think he's not only a tremendous actor but he seems like a very thoughtful, interesting person. this was an **extraordinary** movie, by the way.

[Rowlol]

Such a good looking man.

He mades the danes proud.

[AnneKathrineDK]

@QuantumFart2 He means that his last name is also Mortensen. He's probably Danish like Viggo Mortensen and myself :)

[MedieMike80]

im proud to be a Mortensen :)

[QuantumFart2]

@MedieMike80 Wait, what do you mean "a Mortensen"?

[Fantageous]

oooo Viggo = hot!

[mhgirsl]

i know hes TOOOOOOOO HOT

[Theriot6592]

Can't...look...away...from....­moustache

[cathmc3]

Having a major drunken debate right now - my friend cat iona has gone to the loo = my chance to post - lovely lookin fella by the way - cat disagrees and thinks mike patton is better looking

[Womaaahn]

Great movie...great performance by VM...he always makes me forget it's VM playing a part because he really becomes the character.

[NuriAlcoMovies]

he gotta get rid of that beard

[gormitiguy1]

@NuriAlcoMovies beard proves ur a man!

[NuriAlcoMovies]

@gormitiguy1 a beard shaped like THIS, can only prove that you are a tasteless bastard. -.-

[gormitiguy1]

@NuriAlcoMovies i guess yes ... lol

[chipironiberico]

No he visto un hombre al que le quede mejor el bigote, lo que daria porque me pincharas hijo!!

[rocanlover151]

jajajaja seee!!

[narniafreak26]

Ha ha ha.

I'm Danish.

This guy is my hero.

(:

[solimiansky]

Viggo is universal man

[yazmatraz]

devotion to his species? you're weird mate.

[jurischicken]

all the danes are weird. ALL of them i said!

every-single-fricken-dane. ;-)

put 'em all together? wouldn't fill up a third of los angeles. easy to live socialist that way; easy to keep track of your fellow countrymen not having anything, same as you.

except, 'course, if you're one who runs the government. then you can have all the crap you want, mouth full of cheese n wine, telling everyone else that they shouldn't be focused on excesses, for fear they wouldn't have any for themselves.

[cfodk]

Everyone except one. Me ;-)

[kingkillern]

viggo is cool coz he is danish

[tonynitrox]

@kingkillern Nacido el 20 de octubre de 1958 en Manhattan, Nueva York (EE.UU.), de padre danés y madre estadounidense - vivió en Venezuela desde que tenía pocos meses de vida hasta los 3 años de edad. Su familia se mudó luego a Argentina, en donde Mortensen vivió hasta los 11

[kingkillern]

@tonynitrox may be but he said so in an earlier int that he is more danish than american.like the guy playing gandalf told us that he is gay in an interw.

[kingkillern]

@tonynitrox /watch?v=EMazQWzX66o&feature=r­elated , watch?v=578uH9x6EQ8&feature=re­lated proof

[sarahcougar2]

He's not gay its the mustache which he is wearing for another movie.

[christianjjj]

is he gay? reply to me

[ringirl777]

no he is not gay he was married once and he has a son

[Hooyah25]

VIggo is hot

[insanityrulestheday]

VIGGO, You lovely man, where have you been all my life??????????? :-)

[JulieMaddie]

When I see and hear him, i'm proud of being danish (cause he is)

[alexmulan1]

as well as Argentinian ;)

[Dutchoven08]

Viggo stood up and spoke out for Progressive Presidential Candidate Dennis Kucinich.

That makes him an intelligent, patriotic hero in my book.

[xlinwenx]

haha whether or not he's patriotic is debatable

[Dutchoven08]

Viggo is a true Patriot. He has stood up for humanist, progressive values including campaigning for Dennis Kucinich while Kucinich was under full attack from the Democratic Party.

Viggo, a man of conscience and devotion to his species.

A genuine Hero.

[xlinwenx]

o.0 whatever you say

[filmcomposition]

SHUT TTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

UP!

YOU SOUND LIKE YOUR CAMPAIGNING FOR VIGGO AND I QUOTE

VIGGO IS A TRUE PATRIOT, PROGRESSIVE VALUES...Please stop it serioulsy

[Dutchoven08]

RE: filmcomposition :

Welcome to Youtube, Kid.

I would actually campaign for Viggo if he were running for any leadership position.

Why is it that I should not express an opinion here again?

I happen to have worked with Viggo and have found him to be the genuine article.

You, however are not genuine, it seems young fellow.

Good luck with your future communication skills.

Maybe you'll understand if I speak your lingo.. TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!

How's that?

[JamesGod08]

Too bad his niece is black and he seems to get along well. That's a devotion to species?

[goldglove]

Viggo is THE man

[gentilewarrior]

This guy is slick, he has that reptilian snake like charm, very calm, cool, collected individual but you know deep inside there's a fire that burns with searing intensity and you see it in his characters.

[jephrox]

It's amazing that Viggo is 50 years old and he still looks great!!! No white hair or anything!

[piratebri]

It's called hair dye..

He has grey hairs, especially in his chin hair. Check out some closeups of his role of Aragorn in the LOTR trilogy.

[jephrox]

I know he uses hair dye to cover the grey hair...what I mean is that he looks young for his age because he's not your typical wrinkled-face 50 year old man...for someone his age, he's got nice healthy skin and it's not dried up. anybody in their 50s with grey hair can use hair dye, that's so obvious!

[sandyman002]

Well he'll let the grey show for his next movie. The Road. He will play the father. I hope it lives up to how awesome and touching the book is.

[GoWithTh3Flow]

Let's hope. Good possibility that he will get a Nom hopefully. All depends on if the Road is done true to the book.

[rachellegoloveer]

Viggo is a beautiful actor. And btw he looks great with long and short hair. I loved it when he had a beard lol. But yeah, he is really amazing. I lve it how he is not only beautiful outside but inside too. He still stays true to himself even though he has this "fame"

[Naoocotzo]

He should really grow his hair out like in LOTR, you got to admit he looks awesome with long hair.

[piratebri]

He wore a wig for LOTR, you know. He had short hair during filming.

[nidesie]

I truly love and respect Viggo Mortensen and the intensity and dedication he brings to his roles.

[QuieroGuerra]

I have heard him in several interviews.

I respect him very much.

[ursucarnivor]

Super actor he should'f won the oscar

[mensahcarrelle]

What a great actor!Very handsome and smart too :-)

[XXWhenPassionsLostXX]

Viggo Mortensen is a flippen amazing actor. His Russian accent is amazing. The way he moves, and puts himself into the character. He doesnt just say the lines. I loved Eastern Promises, put it back on as soon as I finished watching it the first time. He does such a great job!!

[777fabino777]

viggo mortensen is an montreal canadiens fan GO HABS GO !!!!!

[4fuzzybunny]

So true, Viggo

[JunoMacguff2012]

I love the facial hair.

[CaptFerrall]

Me too, wish I could grow something that badass.

[Yvonevil]

Stunning movie! The start of a new genre. Very lean, mean movie without a lot of unnecessary scenes.  Love it!!

[wigwambam]

eastern promises was a good movie

[Yazzelle]

Everything about Viggo is so brilliantly divine. Love him.

[som3AZN]

did u guys know that they might make a MGS movie,and this guy might play as snake,or christian bale,but fuck bale,he sucks

[simasgar]

He would be so cool as snake !

[beatlesgirl44]

Love him!!!!

[Raider8784]

LOL At first I thought it said Michael Phelps interviews Viggo... I was like wtf how random

[som3AZN]

i did too lol,michael phelps....

[masterwin1779]

looks like an nice movie but i must say that Viggo is an real actor and not some stupid hollywood actor he rocked whit the LOTR TRILOGY and he rocks also whit this one as i can see. :O

[saltydog1962]

He's not cute , he's not sweetheart!

Refer this to Clooney,pls!

He's REAL MAN!

HATS OFF!

No..., he would say: I'm just a driver...

[faysal91]

i am in love with him

and no i am not a guy ,i am a girl

and i think that he is very very good looking,even if i am only 20 i would love to marry him

[Changingages]

he's such a sweetheart.

[serenetyligh]

Good Interview!5*

[xXspartanerXx]

viggo is the best!!!

[chingching831]

he is sooooooooooooooooooo cute.xd

[jjjaaaccckkk]

does anyone know how much truth there is to him considering the lead role for a new lobo (DC character) movie?

[fantanom123]

det er godt ar du er dansk!!!! du er for skøn viggo!

[karm53]

ok luciferus, the fact is that he was born in NYC (USA), not in Denmark and he grew up in Argentina, in fact he is a fan of san lorenzo de almagro from argentina. He always says he feels like an argentinian.(he speaks like an argentinian). My grandparents are from Italy and croatia but I was born in argentina and to be honest i feel 100% argentine.

bye

[bacicgirl]

So handsome this man.. Love his smile. A really good actor.. : ) Keep up the good work Viggo..

Love from Norway..

[intentionalsound]

He has a lot of really insightful things to say, but I can't help but be distracted by the fact that it's such a turn-on just to watch him talk, lol.

[karm53]

no he's not, viggo mortensen was born in NY, USA (his parents are Danish) but he grew up in Argentina up till his early teenage years.(That's why he says he feels mostly Argentinian. he speaks like an Argentinian and he's a soccer fan.

[Luciferus200581]

Funny, he's several times said he find himself more danish than american (his mother is american; Grace Gamble, not danish as you claim) due to his personality which reflects danish attitudes.

[bingandshirley]

Yeah, Dances with Wolves is beneath him, but he'll class it up for sure.

[bingandshirley]

I love him.

He's so articulate!!! (Besides being absolutely beautiful.)

[Fellini115]

Viggo, please don't accept the Dances With Wolves sequel! You were not meant to pick up Kevin Costner's scraps with some hack director like Simon Wincer!

[TvGyrl]

one of the best actors in the biz today.

[BobDaDoodle]

so rare a man

[karm53]

vigo mortensen is american but he grew up in argentina thats why he speaks like argentinian.

[Maschoe1]

no he´s not, he´s danish but grew up in argentina

[alexshields1]

check out viggo's sword talents in this video:

watch?v=yo9jwcDCiW8

[mandyM79443]

He is so hot.

[redkelley]

ok so I love this guy with all of my heart, and now i gotta ask cuz i can't find it anywhere, is he gay? or bi? cuz i've seen some pics of him kissing the director of Eastern Promises and last time I checked they weren't in a movie together where that occured. If you want the link i'd be happy to give it to you, OH! also he kissed Billy Boyd on the set of LOTR so ya know :)

[relyndie]

alot of actors do that...it's really gay but most aren't gay at all it's just hollywood stuff.

[shawncutter]

have you found a pic of him kissing a chich that isn't from a movie? please tell me if you do... in the mean time I'm going to believe he's gay or at least bi...

[F00bat]

I love it that he uses something as old fashioned as "...they're in a pickle" and manages to look sexy as hell when he says it.

[fuzzygoddess]

LOL Does he LOOK Irish!?

I loved Eastern Promises. He definitely deserved the Oscar, regardless of the fact he wasn't awarded that little golden statue Viggo Mortensen is still a winner.

[lauracraigharvey]

I THOUGHT HE WAS IRISH!!!!!!

[blaqkqueen12]

I would worship that man, i dont care if i sound crazy, i would, he is too fine, his eyes, his hair, his body, his voice, his feet, oh damn!!!!!!! sorry if im over the edge lol

[shelovesyou73]

LOL I feel you he is the HOTNESS makes me lose it love it when he speaks in Spanish umm

[koalakat]

*drool* god he's sooo fine.

[marinaaa001]

uhu! viggo! I hope you win the oscar

[ChrisGunner]

Great movie, great actor, I wish he had won the best actor golden globe.

[Viggiolover]

i love viggo

[lrkuzyk]

Viggo is just so hot; I 'd love to see him in more mainstream; but that's probably why we love his work is that he does his own thing. Fantastic actor

[dreamsnfairies]

Irkuzyk: I was thinkin the same thing. having him in mainstream means more exposure to him but he has said many times that he's not into mainstream and this is what makes Viggo special and respectable. I love seeing him and hearing about his work but I hope he never gets into mainstream.

[UtopianSurfer]

I think I am unsure what movies are for, these days. To teach, to distract? I think I would like to see Mr. Mortensen in something either more political or more boringly real. Yet his earnestness helps make him a natural artist. And the bits of himself he shares with the world are bread-crumbs to us lost babes-in-the woods. The wackiness, the stubborn adherence to his own rule. He's a good example to the rest of us that we too can realize the truth of ourselves in this crazy world.

[DianaDivine]

Yes! All of what you said about Mr. Vee is the truth! Especially about him being a mirror of our ability to realize our own truth.

Plus he's sweet and compassionate! And absolutely gorgeous!

Sweet on Mr. Vee

[danant01]

viggo siempre guapo. sonrie siempre te amo  eres mi principe azul.

[danant01]

hola guapo..te amo

[dgentile83]

I just saw it, GREAT MOVIE.

[danant01]

¡Uuuuy papì eres como el vino, cada vez te pones mejor'

[Lorinand]

SO MUCH STYLE I love you Aragorn

[wildhorserayocolette]

Thanks..
