Viggo Loves His Elfboy (Rare Interview)

[@GordoDustin]

I honestly thought Viggo just grew his hair out before the shooting of the movie. They do a really good job of making that not look like a wig!

[@smilly456]

Well Viggo was picked for Aragorn closer to the start of shooting then the rest of the cast

[@qwertyuiopqwertyyyyy]

All of the cast members wear wigs

[@silverwolfmachilus7573]

i did too, because you see him wearing it all the time in and OUT of the movie, so yeah. Though honestly after seeing him in a few other movies you realize that it it isn't really cause his hair is too straight.

[@silverwolfmachilus7573]

actually another thing he had with him all the time was his sword. he took it EVERYWHERE. He even took it to a restraint, wouldn't let anybody touch it lol

[@Kittyluver_08]

And also Viggo is a redhead

[@augustsart5374]

I love legolas because he is the type of character that has the ability to be quiet in a room but still have presence . plus even though he is the quiet type and doesn't speak a lot when he dose it their makes him sound in readably smart or is really funny

[@toughmunths]

maximum melody A diversion

[@samuelleask1132]

toughmunths we must move on. We cannot linger.

[@tiaaaron3278]

Legolas is Orlando Bloom's only great role. He's just so good as Legolas.

[@alyssa5925]

Viggo makes me so happy because he's just such an affectionate man with little to no boundaries

[@sandrahenriksson6257]

1:23-1:35 "Legolas doesn't speak a lot, you know, everyone else was just saying stuff and I was just the guy in the background going *makes weird faces* 'What's going on? I'm sensing something...'"

[@kellyschlagwein6262]

Sandra Henriksson i can totally see Orlando saying "so I dont get lines? fuck it i will be the mlst fabulous person ever. i will troll the entire movie"

[@lety04]

😂😂❤

[@biseksuelrahibe167]

hahaha lol

[@FoxyNinetails]

"You look terrible." Strangely enough, it's a line that speaks volumes about their friendship without having to; in one small, witty observation. Nice job Orlando. ;)

[@ashtree99]

orlando seems like he was such a goofball!! kind of hyper-active and ridiculously handsome at the same time

The location and the design of the tattoos isn't a secret. Orlando has it on his arm, Viggo has it on his left shoulder, Ian has it on his right shoulder, Elijah has it on his waist, Sean has it on his foot, Billy has it on his foot too and Dominic has it on his right shoulder. I'm not sure about John though. The tattoo says ,,nine'' in Elvish because there are nine people in the felloship.

[@learningcurve23]

John didn't get one. He sent his stunt double to get the tattoo instead.

[@TabiOya]

It just varies person to person on what's attractive and what isn't. I thought Aragorn, Eomer, Boromir and Meri were really attractive in a masculine way(more boyish for Meri), but I thought Legolas and Elrond were really attractive in an elegant way.

[@anitak3985]

Roabie faramir too

[@twinkthatloveslotrtrilogy7676]

And Frodo was hottest

[@KL-sg8zw]

Fun Fact: The tattoo Orlando said can be seen in Pirates of Carribean Cursed of The Black Pearl where Will(Orlando) and Jack(Depp) have a little sword fight.

[@VicariousReality7]

Aragorn is not even a normal human lol

[@CeltycSparrow]

+VicariousReality7 thats because his mother was an elf. lol

[@denisedixon1335]

He's a Dunedain & the last of Isildur's heir! So he's been hunted his very long life by Sauron. He ends up living to 210!

[@CatchingPieces]

I thought Viggo didn't wear a wig! I could swear I read somewhere that he was the only one who used his real hair.

[@MichaelHolmgaard]

+CatchingPieces He grew his hair long, so they could use some of his real hair, but they applied extensions. But David Wenham (Faramir) used his own hair, and Sean Ben used his real hair in the first movie :)

[@cassandradavies5222]

Orlando's face at 1:32 is hilarious!

[@asudebirtane8243]

I have never ever seen a cast like the lotr cast in my life,their affection and friendship is truly magical

[@SpiritMQ]

"Tattoos are for us and the movie is for you guys"... lol... Well Said!

[@ameotwins]

Orlando Bloom plays a very pretty elf from my perspective. He is awesome.

[@EnsignGibs]

"I'm sensing something..." The force is strong with this one.

[@i2harry]

Can't tell why, but Viggo gives me a feeling that his personality is very much like Van Gogh in my mind. Very loving man.

[@MyDearKyoKun]

1:31 - Yes! Yes, that's EXACTLY how it is! xD I remember going to this LOTR-marathon and EVERY time Legolas would state something quite obvious (like: "The horses are restless..." or "The path is shut..."), the entire audience would react xD Ah, but he's one of my favourite characters in the movie...

[@JeanPaulBeaubier]

Viggo says "It says here 'Exhibit A: You notice the superior quality of the pointy ears. We saved a pair for you, human.'" I think it was a note from Orlando in regards to the joke they later mention about elf-envy.

[@foamoftheocean]

Can we just talk about the hair color switch? Orlando has brown hair, and he got blonde. Viggo had kind-of blonde, and got dark brown. Because life makes sense.

[@LexingtonB09]

They're both so hot. This movie is so amazing and doesn't get old, cant wait till next week when I get to see it in the theatre again. :)

[@Megan-ll5fz]

at 0:24 the picture of orlando in the bottom right corner is him as will turner in pirates of the Caribbean was that even made then?!

[@svartvitlaika]

"Return of the King" & "Pirates of the Caribbean" was released the same year :) 2003

[@Megan-ll5fz]

oh thx

[@sabriya5374]

One does not simply not love Orlando Bloom!

[@kaen1037]

Why do elves stay clean even after a war, and elves dont sleep but they dont have dark circles under their eyes. Life is unfair.

So they can stay sexy

The reason Aragorns so beat up is he is to busy covering for legolas! Haha :-)

Caitlin Shepard this is original hahaha

[@livingwithpeople]

Orlando's is on his right wrist, you can catch a glimpse of it in the Will/Jack swordfight scene in Pirates 1, when they're in the blacksmith shop and Johnny teases him about being a eunuch.

[@medianoche7651]

They clearly admire each other awwwwww!!!

GOTTA WATCH LOTR AGAIN! yes all parts and each movie will take my whole life.....(not really)

[@slendersail]

Actually Sauron did that. :) Check out the deleted scene when Aragorn demands the Lord should come forth, and then at the Coronation, Legolas looks like he's getting married but there's no-one there with him... he puts a hand on Aragorn's shoulder, closes his eyes, then looks at him with a totally different look on his face. "Hi Aragorn, thanks for getting Legi here. He's the only one who sensed me all along. Btw, your babe is over there" (and Aragorn's like "No hard feelings, eh!")

Legolas' 'what's going on, I'm sensing something' faces make it seem like he keeps waking up from being blackout drunk or really stoned and every time this happens he has no idea where he is or who he's with.

It's weird how Viggo Mortensen doesn't like his mirror! I thought his wig was his real hair until I saw behind the scene videos.

[@MichaelHolmgaard]

+Denise Dixon It's wrong to call ti a wig. Some of it was his own hair, they just applied extensions ;)

[@randomfangirlqueen]

1:35 I don't talk much either. Anytime there's an awkward silence and I haven't said anything for the past 10 minutes everyone's always like, "Oh, what's wrong?" And it makes me feel weird. Can't I be quiet for a couple hours?!

[@Robsfund]

After the first one, this interview was done during the filming of the 3rd LOTR film.

[@Sileithel]

Yes, Viggo has the "nine" tattoo on his left arm, if you search Google Images you can see it. Also most of the other guys, though they have it in different places ^^

[@judcrandall3170]

'The 9 actors who make up the fellowship of the first movie even got matching tattoos' this is false, john rhys davies (gimli) did not get a tattoo, although his stunt double did instead.

[@RenesmeeRexBTRBlack]

"I'm sensing something..." I find so many dirty meanings in that and would object to none of them...

[@fitzii_00]

"What's going on?... I'm sensing things." LMAO XD I love u orlando:)

[@ffantasia24]

10 years of being a LOTR fan and ive only just seen this now. HOW O_O

[@slendersail]

So in your opinion, if I want a man who's feminine, then I am bisexual? Isn't it more likely that I appear to be bisexual BECAUSE I want a man who's really feminine (which is the case with me)? We each have an imprint of our soulmate in our DNA, it's not for others to "understand" why we have it, we just have it. It's our mate, not something to argue about with others. My ideal is not your ideal, and will never be.

[@helen8022]

What's going on? I'm sensing something... Awww Legolas(Orlando Bloom) is so adorable!!!

[@BloodyFlesh626]

ohgod it reminds me every second how much i love this movie!

[@ART-oq4ek]

Aragorn the King of Gondor. He is badass and rule the kingdom for thousand years

[@kitkathrynn]

I'm sure I can see a picture of Orlando as Will Turner, bottom right at 0:25

[@isaacorchard7000]

He wasn't gene cast in Pirates at that time

[@kitkathrynn]

Isaac Orchard I know, I was just pointing out that it looked like him as Will Turner

[@kitkathrynn]

Isaac Orchard also it depends when this was filmed, if it was during pick ups they were in 2003 after the filming of POTC

[@Supremed9]

Isaac Orchard No, he was. That was during the filming of RotK. He had done Pirates 1 by then.

[@666diamondz]

Yeah, it definitely is, and I think the photo between those two might be Viggo and Orly? :)

[@galadriel3134]

The tattoo is the word "nine" in elvish, and they have chosen different parts of the body for it.

[@CurlyKatMarie]

Okay, let me try :) Viggo's is on his upper left arm. You can see it in Eastern Promises when he's entering the bath house.

[@robsten321]

It is not he, it is probably she. Many girls wanted that relationship to happen. And speaking truly, Legolas and Aragorn, thanks to Peter, really looked like a "just married" couple. It is because of the film that relationship "happend". :)

[@gumi_b3ar]

for anyone wondering about the tattoo, it's not a huge secret anymore (well, it never was in the first place and this isn't much of news as it is informational) the tattoo is the Elvish characters for 9 (neder) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lord_of_the_Rings:_The_Fellowship_of_the_Ring#:~:text=After%20the%20shoot%2C%20the%20nine,double%20got%20the%20tattoo%20instead.

[@depplover78]

I always wanted Aragorn and Legolas to be lovers LOLLL

[@KiraYagami-kz4th]

2004 me: What? Don't ship them! They are friends! No gay. 2020 me: Oh hell yeah Bro! They should end up together.🤣😂🤣😂

[@MelloWafers]

Pretty much summed up Legolas I guess :') love him

[@panic_maniac]

dA brought me here :3 also, orlando's expressions in the interview are just priceless ^^

[@NWCountryGirl17]

I don't know about the other eight members but if you look very closely in the Jack & Will sword fight scene of the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie you can see the Elvish tat on Will's wrist

[@joycelim3909]

Viggo's tattoo is on his left shoulder while Orlando's tattoo is on his right wrist.

[@readingthelibrary97]

Their tattoos are the Tengwar symbol for the number 9. It is found on their upper arm (i believe right but unsure).

[@wildshadowstar]

The tattoos are in different places. Sean B.'s is on his left shoulder, Viggo's is on his right shoulder, Orlando has his on his wrist, Sean A.'s in on his ankle I think.

[@t2rnus]

LOL, they're both so awesome :)

[@lasully15]

I thought orlando's was on his bicep, and that you actually saw it in the third during the storm fight scene?

[@origonalname119]

Why does the audio sound like it's underwater?

[@ilovenycsomuch]

i thought for some reason at first glance it said "elbow" & when i looked at the comments i realized what this was & i was like YESS! I LOVE this One!

[@MrMdrscream]

As a guy reading all of this..... I'd say Pippin was the one with a girly/baby face. More so than anyone else. Legolas/Orlando doesn't have a baby soft face. I don't see it. He has a very angular face. I just don't see it as girly at all. Legolas kicked ass. Favorite character. Maybe some girls are just afraid of guys that are prettier than they are? I know some girls that think Vin Diesel is to die for. Other's think he's very unattractive. I guess it's all in your preference.

[@Vulcanwoman]

Pippin having a baby face makes since. He is 24 when he leaves the shire in the first book.
