I know, ladies. I know. I give you what you want, and you’re welcome. I know there are many, many of you who are ALL ABOUT Viggo Mortensen. It’s come to the point where any time we have new photos of him, I know I’m going to have to use them and write about him immediately. For many of you, Viggo is your Fassbender. I accept that. I accept Viggo’s status in your hearts and fantasies, more so than someone like… Chris Hemsworth. I like Viggo a great deal, and I would totally hit that. But he’s not on my Top Ten list.
Anyway, these are pics of Viggo at the Madrid photo call for Everybody Has A Plan, a film with an IMDB synopsis that reads: “A man who assumes the identity of his deceased twin in Argentina.” Simple. TOO SIMPLE!! Dun dun dun. Viggo will also be at the Toronto International Film Festival to promote the film, as well as On the Road, so we’ll be seeing more of Viggo in the weeks to come. Which is something you should keep in mind – comment early and often if you want more Viggo! Speaking of On the Road, I keep forgetting to show you the latest On the Road trailer in the Kristen Stewart posts. Let’s just include it here, okay?
You barely get to see Viggo, who is playing the “Old Bull Lee” character (I believe based on William S. Burroughs?). Viggo is definitely “the old dude” of the film, and it will be interesting to see him at TIFF, in the middle of Kristen Stewart’s storm.
Meanwhile, did you know that Viggo is no longer going to work with David Cronenberg on Eastern Promises 2? Although the first film wasn’t a huge hit, for some reason Cronenberg and Viggo were promised a sequel (I suppose following Viggo’s character to his next assignment?). Well, Cronenberg confirmed that the sequel isn’t happening, saying: “It was supposed to be ‘Eastern Promises 2.’ But that’s dead… It’s done… If you don’t like it talk to James Schamus at Focus. It was his decision.” Harsh! But really, that film didn’t need a sequel.

No. I mean, he was an excellent Aragorn and is a very good actor who delivers almost always, but really, he doesn’t do it for me. He’s not Sean Connery-sexy, you know? Sean is the only older man that can really get my blood pumping. Sigh… scottish sexiness…
Anywoo, I usually am a Samwise Gamgee kinda girl 🙂
Lol did you edit your post? I just saw your “No” and was going to write how could you not want Stryder, you little hobbit lover. 😉 Anyways, I found a pic for you that surely will change your mind. 🙂
http://stylefrizz.com/img/viggo-mortensen-young-wearing-makeup.jpg
Yep, I had to edit, ’cause “no”, without any explanation might have sounded a bit harsh 😀
As for the pic… I really like him, but his face looks thin and angular… he just doesn’t do it for me: I’m a bit of a chubby chaser; Sam foreva! Lol
thank you for this!!! 🙂
Chubby chase on! Totally joking bout the pic, I think I might have even put myself off him with that one. Maybe he’ll gain weight for a role! I’m going to ask him as soon as my restraining order is lifted.
@Mimi, Lol 🙂
He was my top twenty, now demoted to top thirty, thanks to your photo. He now does nothing for me, unless I’m watching Lord of the Rings (return of the king), then I get my crush on, especially towards the end, then yes, I’m a total idiot for romance.
ah!ah!ah! cette photo est un vrai régal…
ITA with everything. I did notice him more after Aragorn and yes, he’s a very good actor but he’s not making me feel anything more—unlike Harrison Ford (well, before he started piercing his ear -_- )—-UNLESS he’s dressing up as Aragorn. LOL. 😀
Older men (over 50 or 55? or those who appear to be *ahem*Fassbender*ahem*) just don’t do it for me. This worries me as I enter my 40s full steam ahead but they don’t.
I never got Sean Connery but well he’s old enough to be my grandfather, so he isn’t supposed to rock my world. My mom loves him. I love him for her.
I did like Clint when I was in my teens so maybe if I look *really* hard?
Viggo was my #1 at one point. He *may* still be in my top 10 but only because my famous guy list is kind of short.
I agree with @Mimi below. The eyebrows need help. He does look good from the neck down.
Love me some Viggo but he needs to address the eyebrow situation, they are disappearing into his ocular area. Oh and I’ll never forgive whomever it was that wrote he was straying into Robert Duvall territory. *sad face*
For me Mimi, he’d need to lose those ugly ass Adidas sneaks. 🙂
Dude those sneaks are rad! I’ll take them off him for you. I’m willing to do whatever it takes to bring the hotness back to Viggo.
They totally ruin the effect.
Okay I take it back the shoes are totally heinous and gotta go. Honestly I was just looking at his bulge…er…eyebrows.
Are those Adidas Gazelles?
The outfit is pretty bad, guys. Throw a fanny pack on him and he looks like my dad on vacation.
Remove the clothing however…and we have a deal.
The outfit is pretty bad, guys. Throw a fanny pack on him and he looks like my dad on vacation.
*giggling uncontrollably*
OUCH!!!! “Fanny pack”, Kitten that is just so unfair. Everybody knows you don’t do a fanny pack with a sports coat. Duh!
Tell that to my dad, Chat 🙁
What if he was wearing *just* the fanny pack? With like, little minis of booze in it.
…and condoms, and lube.
That sounds like more of an “emergency sex kit” than a fanny pack.
I hope my dad doesn’t get down with THAT sh*t O_o
But yes, for Viggo (and for me) it would work 🙂
I thought about that, Eve, but then I got all confused and scared that maybe The OG Kitten would think we were talking about her dad. I kid! I would never fantasize about your father like that, unless he was Viggo, of course.
**ETA LOL Sorry I knew it was gonna play out like that!
Aw man, you guys…lady boner and warm tingles are officially gone 🙁
I blame you, dad, and your gross fanny pack! *shakes fist*
Boooo!!!
God, I go to lunch and this whole thread degraded to Dad’s sporting nothing but a fanny pack full of sex items! Poor Viggo, he doesn’t know what he is missing by not being here with us.
Oh my lawd, I just googled “sexy fanny packs” as a joke. Big mistake.
Viggo Mortensen, Paul Bettany, (Danish actor) Mads Mikkelsen and (Prison Break) William Fichtner all have the same problem: the eyebrows’s shape (they sort of “match” exactly the orbital part of the frontal bone). All of them have very light-coloured eyebrows too — which makes it look like they don’t.
I think that if Viggo dyed his eyebrows a slightly darker shade of brown, the problem would be solved.
Totally. I just googled pics of him with darker eyebrows and he looks way better. I think I’ll call him and offer my services, wanna help Eve? 😉
I think I’ll call him and offer my services, wanna help Eve?
As we say here in Brazil: do monkeys like bananas?
EDIT: googled it and found the equivalent expression in English (Does a bear shit in the woods?).
Monkeys LOVE bananas and I am trolling the sh-t out of this thread. Viggo Forever!
@ Eve-your boy Cumby has light-to-no eyebrows!
@ Kitten:
What??? He has eyebrows a-plenty. It’s just a little messy.

Hmmm…they do look darker than usual in these pics. Maybe the flash washes them out?
Also, tell your boy Cumby to stop going to Justin Theroux’s hairdresser (in that first pic).
🙂
I think that’s for a character — probably Sherlock Holmes.
He changes his hair colour so much that for a long time I couldn’t quite figure out which colour was the real one.
Now I’m sure, he’s a ginger — no, he didn’t show me his crotch (unfortunately). I saw pictures from when he was younger.
He has to be ginge right? He has such a fair complexion, eyebrows etc.
I feel like this is a topic which had likely been exhausted by his Tumblr fans-“Does the carpet match the drapes? DISCUSS.”
He should stick to a lighter haircolor-def. suits him more.
YESSSSSSSSS!!!
And I’m especially happy to have something to cleanse my palate after the bitter taste left in my mouth by a certain post, featuring a certain famewhore.
It may not have been intentional but…thank you, Kaiser.
Ditto Eve!
Same here. Most likely, he’s only going to keep looking worse as he gets old (he’s no spring chicken), but I love my husband through his ups and downs and weight gains and losses and bad hair and schlumpy clothes, so I will do the same for my Hollywood husband. He will always get a “yes” from me. (Although the eyebrow situation is moderately strange)
Ditto,Eve!
YES I would hit that like a ton of bricks. He is sexy and smart and potentially rough and dirty.
Over and over again.
Wow, Viggo really is starting to look… well… *old*!
Still very handsome tho.
No. Watching “A History of Violence” ruined him for me.
Really?! Wow, it totally ramped it up for me, personally.
^ Yup, same with me.
Ikr? Rawr!
Me three . And his NUDE fight scene in Eastern Promises was Everything !!!
Totally agree, I’m not into being roughed up by men but that scene with them on the stairs — very hot. I was “meh” on him before that and Eastern Promises. I thought both were great.
A little for me, too. That movie creeped me out.
I wouldn’t hit that…
I would break it in half
LOL!
🙂 Poor Viggo.
Ha… but we know our poor Viggo would be up for it, quite literally, I’m sure(;
but we know our poor Viggo would be up for it,
That’s one of the (many) things I love about him.
quite literally, I’m sure
He he he.
We both would die happily. LOL 🙂
No , hate his hair! Get a trim…love the cleft in his chin, though.
Darling Viggo, you will always be my Aragorn.
“Would you hit it?”
Is that a rhetorical question?
^^^ This.
No….I’m picky!!
Is there a new time machine at work? First Jude Law, and now Viggo have lost 15 years of fugness. Ok i’m officially back in the YES I WOULD camp. For Viggo anyway. Even tho he probably smells bad.
To answer your question- yes. YES! YES! A MILION TIMES YES!!!! : )
Mm he is back in “Blouse Man” hotness territory. Real Viggo fans will know what I mean.
Strip him down and paint him up. Walker Jerome will forever be in my heart.
There’s also (a young, very slim) Liev Schreiber in that movie. Damn, really jealous of Diane Lane now.
No, scratch that. I would. All three of them.
Yes I do and no he is not…
That is when he was my #1… sigh he was beautiful when he was my age.
Now I need to watch that again. Only Viggo could make the phrase “blouse salesman” hawt.
I had a sexy dream about him
he’s not in my top ten either (he’s a floater) but heck yes I would..
Most definitely. And if Lindsay (7) doesn’t mind I’ll take the lower half.
Of course. Why is that even a question?
mmmm….NO! the man is getting really old and kind of ashy!
That’s because I just rolled him in flour. What? We were making pancakes and then one thing led to another…
Yep.
So glad Eastern Promises is not getting a sequel – I thought that movie was damn near perfect. They’d only ruin it with a sequel.
Yep… repeatedly.
Ohhh, my precious Veeegoooo…
And his perfect body.
My goodness he looks good naked! I seen the movies… he is gorgeous.
But I like to see him with some blonde highlights in his hair. To boost his coloring.
Gray hair is no one’s friend.
Even my precious Viggo.
Viggo naked??? Where???? I must have missed that movie…
Eastern Promises. Turkish bath scene. But I am making it too easy for you!
Thanks pinchofsalt! And I am quite sure we have that movie on PVR!! Naked Viggo, here I come!! 😉
The movie Fresh Horses has a younger Viggo doing full frontal showing his impressive junk to the world. It’s a “hello penis, wave to the nice ladies” kind of Viggo moment in the midst of a really dramatic section of the movie.
@Skuddles – great movie but that bath scene is scary – he’s beating the crap out of someone. Beware!
Thanks for the great laugh Boromir! Say hello to the nice ladies… that one is gonna stay with me for a while 😀
And NYC_girl, thanks much for the heads up on the naked, violent Viggo scene.
I think he looks great but the shoes did kill it. Im the opposite with hair…I love the natural look but with a good cut and or great hair. I hate the Just For Men shoe polish reddish brown look (or dyed than lightened to look blond ala Jon Bon Jovi). The face looks aged and the hair looks young. Obvious disconnect. When my husband wanted to start covering up the grey i asked, well begged, him not to by the third time….he still always get told he looks much younger than his real age.
I’d definitely hit it but Viggo dude… lose the runners!
He is one of my foreverdong with Jude Law and Daniel Day Lewis. I hope Askars doesn’t hear me 🙂
Ahhh DDL…Last of the Mohicans was on TV last night, I just hit pause at several points just to look at him!
I think the attraction is that he’s classy and keeps it real. Sorta like Pierce Brosnan. Doesn’t feel like he needs to be all Botox-y or surgically altered. It’s nice to see actors (and actresses)aging gracefully.
Don’t know about now but I sure as hell wouldn’t mind hitting the ‘Aragorn’ version from a few years back to the f*****g max and every which way possible.
You keep asking this question Kaiser and it is still the same…
Yes! Always! Forever. In a forest. On the stairs. Six ways from Sunday. (what does that actually mean? haha)
Over and over! Eastern Promises was on tv last night. God damn that is a good movie…
Perfect human being.
Oh yes, he is in my top ten. It would hit it. No question. Those eyes. mmmmm.
Viggo- Always looks good . To me he’s the kind of man you Marry not just screw around with . He makes me swoon ! Love him – forever. 🙂
Only if he puts on the Aragorn costume and scruffs it up a bit.
I hope Cronenberg bounces back soon he’s not doing that great now …
He may be in his 50’s, but he just gets better with age. And he is the very definition of “Renaissance Man”. I’d take him any day!
god, that is one fiiiine piece of man! i would hit it hard and often!
I’d definitely hit it. But still prefer Boromir.
I can’t stop looking at these pics. Help!!! He is delicious.
Definitely hit it.
I am madly, madly in love with him. Granted, I’m an old broad, but the man has integrity, good looks, amazing talent and he is a true Renaissance man. LOVE HIM!
It’s late at night here. I’ll have one more look (maybe two) and that’s my sweet dreams settled for tonight!
He is my fantasy celeb. He is so hot so I don’t like reading too much about him because I don’t want to find out he is just as shallow, pretentious and annoying as all the other celebs. In my mind is a true cowboy bada** and never says a word unless it is necessary, does not need to prove he is a man he just is. No tattoos, no clubbing no cheesy boring celeb women (just me, LOL).
@TG: Last February, He received an award from a small cinema in MA and a friend and I went to see him for the Q&A.
He was humble, down to earth, etc. I could barely be coherent on the e-mail I sent to the celebitchy writers describing the experience, :).
#LucyOriginal – I am jealous. Isn’t he single? Maybe he is waiting for one of us to come along. And @Karen – I can forgive him a few tatoos, just so long as they are not cheesey like the ones Rob Kartrashian has. Rob looks like he is deserately trying to be taken seriously and he thinks he is European. Yuk. Anyway, I think my fantasy of Viggo is based on the characters he plays. Which I guess is the same thing as those Twihard freaks loving Rob thinking he is really Edward.
Sorry to tell ya, but he has several tattoos.
Oh.My.God. Yes…yes…yes…yesyesyesOHYESSSS!
(Ahem, sorry folks)
This! hahaha
Yes, of course! what a question…He is very very handsome in person.
Hell yes I’d hit that! Over and over again until he walked with a limp. 😀
I would hit that constantly, all day long, without eating or sleeping, until I dropped dead from exhaustion.
Would I hit it?
You know the magic elevator from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?
That’s how I’d hit it.
Love me some Fassy but Viggo all the way. Definitely on the top ten list. The shoes have to go.
I totally would. Viggo seems like a pretty interesting dude, if not a lil weird, which would make for some interesting conversations and observations after we got done ruining ourselves haha.
Plus he looks clean and it appears he showers regularly unlike meth-y looking Fassbender 🙁 [What is happening to that guy? I want to believe again!]
Opened this picture and it has made my day…he gets better as he gets older…but please get rid of the nasty sneakers…
I’d do filthy things to Viggo. And he would love it. This man… they should have made him in triplicate.
In the immortal words of Lionel Ritchie..yes I would “All Night Long”
he pays for it. smart man indeed. Meow!
