The recent release of "The Lord of the Rings" has brought people back to Middle-earth, and this epic blockbuster is certainly indispensable to the dazzling male gods. Perhaps the most eye-catching of these are the elven prince Legos and the human emperor Aragon.
The style of these two male gods is completely different, and the elf prince is exquisite, and he can do a good job of image management even in the middle of the war.
The human emperor Aragorn is the opposite, often making himself embarrassed, netizens even ridiculed how he did not wash his hair. When I finally freshened up and carefully dressed up to ascend the throne, even some people said that they could not recognize it.
The time that made Turtle Kee really surprised him about his image was the release of "Green Book" a few years ago, and the emperor turned into a rough man who nibbled on fried chicken and was in front of the driver, and his figure was also blessed. Is it really hard to recognize that this is a male god from more than ten years ago? It also makes people sigh that the years really make people old.
When it comes to the character, everyone may remember who he is, but speaking of the actor's name Viggo Mortensen may make people stunned and ask, who is this person?
And this may be because of Mortensen's own "arrogance", "Lord of the Rings" after the fire of the film continued, but he ran to star in a small-cost production of the film, not by the fame of Mortensen chose to slow down, said that he only wanted to star in ten years later he is still willing to see the work.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="19" > played The Lord of the Rings at the last minute</h1>
Mortensen's portrayal of the role of Aragon impressed the audience, and his acting skills were quite good, bringing Tolkien's character to life. But before Mortensen starred, he hadn't even seen the original book of "The Lord of the Rings", or temporarily saved the scene.
Director Peter Jackson and the crew initially chose Stuart Townsend to play Aragon. Townsend also trained for the role for two months, but was fired before filming officially began. Because Townsend's face is small, he can't play the stability and vicissitudes of the 87-year-old emperor.
So director Peter Jackson thought of Mortensen, so he hurried to call and invite, but Mortensen did not want to act at the time, expressed his consideration, and politely asked. After all, I hadn't seen the original book, and I had to leave home for more than ten months as soon as I shot it, and Mortensen was still a single father at the time.
But the invitation was known to Mortensen's son. His son was an avid Fan of the Lord of the Rings and tried to persuade Mortensen to star, and eventually Mortensen accepted the invitation because of his son.
On the long-distance flight to new Zealand where the filming was taken, the crazy make-up class, watching the original work, like a temporary pre-test. Peter Jackson didn't look away, and Mortensen, dressed in costume, was the Aragon.
Townsend was not in his 30s when he starred, and Mortenson was in his early 40s when he starred, and he had already won in age.
Mortensen, who had not trained before entering the group, was quite good at shooting fights and riding scenes. The film's martial arts director said Mortensen was the best swordsman he had ever trained. Mortensen also did not like to use a stand-in, playing the drama himself, and after not training, he was scarred after all.
Breaking a tooth, I also insisted on shooting, let the glue continue to stick, but finally was sent to the hospital by the director in the car. Kicking a half-orc armor when kicking a toe, you have to pretend that you are in the play, and your acting skills are exploding.
During the filming of the second film, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, director Peter Jackson also ridiculed him and the Elf Prince as "the walking wounded", the walking wounded.
Such a best performance also made Mortensen's interpretation of Aragorn full of charm, not only charmed the beautiful elf princess in the play, but also gained the love of countless girls outside the play.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="19" > gain 40 pounds for the play</h1>
Starring in "Green Book" did not make Mortensen have physical injuries like "The Lord of the Rings", but in order to fit the character setting, he had to gain weight, eat a lot of fat, and dedicate his disfiguring acting skills.
Green Book is a true-life film about Tony Lip, played by Mortensen, who is hired as an African-American pianist, Don Lee. Shirley's chauffeur and bodyguard, accompanying Tang nanxia on a tour of the story. Interestingly, before becoming an actor, Mortensen actually worked as a driver, but drove a truck.
The prototype of the protagonist, Tony, is Italian-American, and he also has a big belly, which is not quite in line with Mortensen's image, so at first Mortensen did not want to act, and the director said that there are many Italian actors with good acting skills, why do you have to choose me. (Strongly suspected in Versailles)
But the director identified Mortensen and persuaded him to take over the script. Then after taking over the script, you have to prepare it carefully. Mortensen embarked on the road to fattening. High-fat, high-calorie foods are not rejected, and large desserts are arranged before bedtime.
At first, Mortensen was quite happy, eating delicious food, and did not need other physical training, just eating is finished, easy. But the back is about to vomit.
When Mortensen went to visit the family of the archetypal Character Tony during the preparation period, Tony's family was very hospitable and prepared a lot of food, plate after plate, which could make Mortensen bitter. At first, I also enjoyed delicious food, but after eating a lot, I found that it was the first plate, and there were several plates later.
When it came time to eat the third plate, Mortensen really couldn't eat it, and then Tony's family thought that Mortensen didn't like it and began to say that he didn't cook well. Mortensen realized that he had to eat even if he didn't eat, and he finished drying his scalp. Finally, he said that he was about to have a heart attack and would faint at any time.
In the movie, we can also see that Tony and Tony's family are very passionate about food, so during the filming period, Mortensen also had to eat a lot. Compete with someone for $50 to eat a hot dog and keep eating fried chicken on the road. At that time, everyone said that they also wanted to eat fried chicken.
The movie is happy to eat, the audience is also hungry, Mortensen himself can almost vomit. Not only that, in the crew, everyone incarnated as Mortensen's grandmother, afraid that the child would eat less. As long as you are a little thinner, you will be reminded that the pants legs are loose, and you have to maintain your weight. Not only do you have to gain weight before starting the camera, but you also have to keep in shape during the shooting process and eat and eat!
Mortensen joked that he ate more than a pig, and at that time, Mortensen was 60 years old, and his body could not be so contrived, and he was so desperate, it was really too dedicated.
The hard work is always not in vain, and Mortensen's reduction to Tony is very high. Tony's son, Nick, who is also the film's screenwriter, burst into tears when he saw Mortensen's performance, saying that Mortensen's interpretation of his father was really wonderful.
With a brilliant presentation of Tony, Mortensen received an Oscar nomination, but regrettably ran with him, losing to Rami Marek, the male protagonist of another biographical film, "Bohemian Rhapsody". The previous two nominations, Mortensen is also a companion, bad luck!
Interestingly, in the same year, there was also Christian Bell, who also fattened up for the role and became a ball, and also suffered from three highs, and the actors really fought hard!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="19" > gentleness and literary art in the bones</h1>
Mortensen on the set was particularly cruel to himself, but he was very friendly and gentle to his peers. During the filming of "The Lord of the Rings", the stuntman of the elf princess Alvin had a deep affection for the white horse and wanted to buy it, but the horse was too expensive to afford.
Mortensen bought the white horse and gave it to the stuntman, and when the stuntman asked Mortensen how much he was going to pay him, Mortensen said it was a gift and you deserved it. Mortensen's heart-warming move made the stuntman very moved, and later when he recalled the incident, he was moved to tears.
In addition to superb acting skills and gentle treatment, Mortensen is also full of literature and art, and various skills and skills are full. Born into a mixed-race family and having lived in a different country since childhood, Mortensen speaks fluent English, Spanish and Danish.
He can also communicate in French, Italian, Swedish and Norwegian. In addition, because of the long-term expectation of "The Lord of the Rings" in New Zealand, I also learned Māori and the Lacada language of the North American peoples.
Not only was he an enviable talent for language, Mortensen wrote poetry, drew and photographed. In 2002, Mortensen founded the publishing company Perceval Press, which publishes works by less well-known artists and authors. Of course, the company will also publish Mortensen's own work.
Before becoming an actor and becoming famous, Mortensen began to write poetry, and his poems were also exhibited. In addition to writing poetry, Mortensen also enjoyed painting and exhibited it worldwide. In A Perfect Murder, Mortensen plays an artist, and many of the paintings that appear in the film are actually from Mortensen's own pen.
To date, Mortensen has published about 10 collections of works including his paintings, poems and photographs. In addition, in addition to his poetry collections and anthologies, he has produced several experimental CDs, mainly composed of soundtrack recitations of his own poems, and the music is also composed by Mortensen himself.
In addition to literature and sports, Mortensen is also a powerful figure, participating in the school tennis team and also being the captain of the swimming team. No wonder you can control the fight very well when filming "The Lord of the Rings"!
With such talent and superior appearance, Mortensen is not proud, but is very modest and low-key, indifferent to fame and fortune. More than a decade ago, when the third part of "The Lord of the Rings" swept the Oscars, Mortensen, as the lead actor, slept at home. A few years ago, when "Green Book" won the Oscar for Best Picture, Mortensen just stood on the sidelines and had no intention of fighting for C.
Perhaps only such a man can make Orlando Bloom, the elf prince Legos, say, "I don't want to be Aragon, I want to be Vigo Mortensen." ”
