Acclaimed Actor Viggo Mortensen on the Pope, Poetry and Art in Politics

[@christopheraparicio4482]

One of the most underrated actors in Hollywood. He is aware of what is going on which is what you cannot say about mostly everyone in the Hollywood industry.

[@mrinalini9112]

Oh my fucking lord!!! He's so much more than an amazing actor! He's an amazing, kind hearted, brilliant intellectual. I fell in love with him all over again.

[@Damonkeyspanda]

What a pragmatic and, yet, emotional view of "things as they are." Pretty cool. I don't often care what a celebrity thinks, especially an actor, but this fellow.....good on him.

[@kimdesaro6780]

Viggo is an awesome guy! genuinely good hearted!

[@rychartist]

He really is a beautiful soul

[@emlmm88]

And a beautiful man. Just saying.

[@yeshuasbeloved549]

Profoundly talented, intelligent, courageous, compassionate... soulful. selah.

[@rainsweptflower]

and i thought i couldnt love viggo any more then i already did. how wrong i was ! thank you for this.

[@RSpence777]

I agree!

[@miawilliams8785]

Yep I've known about his view etc for a long time you should get one of his books with his poetry and art which is my job and he's good. Some of his photography on his own press Percival Press and on Amazon and if you've never seen Indian Runner and the 2 faces of January and of course Eastern Promises which I'm sure you have but if you haven't do and his foreign language films which he speaks fluently as you know and Far from Men in which he has to speak in French which he is fluent in but with an eastern dialect. As you can tell I'm a huge fan of his!!

[@miawilliams8785]

When I say a huge fan that's a bit of an understatement I love him since Portrait of a Lady 1997 and of course when I saw him again in Lord of the Rings as Aragorn/Strider I fell in love with him ( I'm lucky my partner is pretty understanding and has admitted he's good) I just remember thinking that I just saw his eyes with his cloak hood up and a burning pipe and I said to my friend I like him and then remembered his face from the film mentioned above and I saw it a couple more times and took another friend and said there's someone in this that I really like and she saw just his eyes as well and said to me is that the one and of course I said yes she said he was my type but she never got the films sadly... I definitely think that's enough from me!

[@bobriceburner]

Viggo Mortensen is awesome

[@liamj2363]

Just realized I spent the whole video just kind of in a staring trance not even listening. It actually annoys me how attractive he is.

[@samer9277]

Wow, this guy is super awesome. An awesome role model, very talented and understands what life is about. Gosh, awesome interview!

[@robtierney5653]

Run for President Viggo.. You'd win.. and be more knowledgeable and loyal to the job then most have been.

[@johniovine1512]

[@abisheldon5208]

He gives props to Paul Robeson! I'm more deeply impressed by him than ever--and that was way deep already.

[@prisillaspace]

We All of us..Everywhere need to be engaged in our lives locally & nationally & globally!

[@abdullahbahatti9973]

[@suiseki1]

The poem. ✍🏻

[@kell2640]

'Viggo Mortensen, you knew The Pope?'. Anyone else's name and it would have been a joke, but magic Viggo, yeah I can see that happening somehow. Something likeL 'We used to read poetry together for a brief time in Italy, I actually suggested to him first that he should run for Pope........'

[@koyotesway5070]

Aerragorn . . . how wonderful! ✌

[@globaldigitaldirectsubsidi4493]

I just love this guy

[@naheem1845]

A great actor and citizen.

[@elisabethacronqvist7859]

Viggo Mortensen is like a whiskey - with age he become to better person,phisically and mentally.

[@Darlenem222]

Love Viggo!

[@GreenOrchid9]

When one lives in countries outside of U.S. and sees poverty and revolutionary influence affects history ones opinions and curiosity and the perspective of different languages leads to curiosity

[@willwright2099]

Twilight of Empire: Response to Occupation. I almost through & i'm telling you it is a VERY good read.

[@bsimpson639]

You can only criticize Obama for so long until you get cut off and the subject is changed. 🙄

[@jellyfish1068]

This man can read.

[@sebassanchezc-1379]

Spanish, English, French, Italian, Danish, and probably more even Elvish 🧝‍♂️

[@terrariumelio974]

Lousy interviewers. Great artist.

[@samer9277]

Aragon

[@basicregisters]

so intense, like martin fierro

[@russianinc1]

Viggo er awesome!

[@dvg87]

As Mark Kermode put it, Viggo Mortensen is the DeNiro of his generation.

[@gh87716]

+Denis Vargas Even better.

[@slickster2880]

+Denis Vargas Thats not saying much!

[@charlyreti]

Viggo, el Papa Francisco y yo somos hincha de San Lorenzo de Almagro de Argentina.

[@amellirizarry9503]

God, he’s so dreamy 😅

[@sthompson4049]

viggo talking about paul Robeson??? you youngster need to read history,thanks viggo

[@DjViceroy]

Sad how so many people have been fooled by the new CEO of the Catholic Corporation.

[@Galvorn11]

+MMMGrower Still It's way better than the USA Corporation. If Arnold can be president I don't see why Viggo can't. I'ts a free country you know, free speech, free??

[@piewolfe]

Why can't he? He was born in New York, not Austria.

[@andreacontrerashernandez4210]

he's so cute

[@willforrhall]

The Pope is not going against the current, he is following catholic policy.

[@sebassanchezc-1379]

Renaissance man...

[@AryanWarriorBogpill]

Democracy is just the cover for tyranny. If we can not question democracy then we are not true democrats. Everyone born into our democracy believes liberalism to be self apparent and self evident, it only makes sense because they grow up in an ever increasingly liberal society. Freedom itself it not an ideal. And if we can not question this inability to restrain ourselves, how can we move forward in constructive and harmonious ways?

[@sebassanchezc-1379]

That poem has music too.. With...BUCKETHEAD..🤨

[@TheWimmse]

wow dat poem tho...i mean i dont understand most any of it but i know that was fucking dark! is he depressed or just seeing the world as it is?

[@MusicHimanshu]

as it is

[@TheTTBT]

Low def TV is no reflection of a Hi-Def King.

[@misspugsley41216]

I'm annoyed she cut him off when he was speaking critically of Obama's first term in office

[@zboys4586]

The truth will make us all burnt children of The Empire of fantasy
