Host: Well listen Viggo, its great that we have an actor here of your caliber coming out to Australia and stuff to promote the film, because you’re not, I wouldn’t say are the most sort of *ponders* limelight seeking Hollywood personality. We don’t often see you on NW Australian Entertainment show maybe?, partying with Paris Hilton *giggles from hosts and Viggo begin* or Jessica Simpson. Is it hard being in films like you know A History of Violence is really successful and of course Lord of the Rings. Is it hard protecting your privacy to an extent when obviously people want to know what’s happening in your life?
Viggo: Not really. I mean right after Lord of the Rings, anyone who was, even the person who brought the coffee in Lord of the Rings was a mega-celebrity for a short time *laughs all around*, and the tabloids, you know, they got tired of the pictures that they had of me; they were like mowing the lawn barefoot. *more laughs* Seriously! Or walking out of the 7/11 at five in the morning bleary-eyed with a doughnut in my mouth and keys, you know in my hand and you know, they were so dull, or passed out, you know on the sidewalk... I mean so they got tired of that and they stopped kind of bothering me … they just figure I’m ….
Host: When you saw these,
Viggo (interjects): ... useless
Host: were you like, kind of what else can I do that sort very mundane? Can I go and play chess in the park? Can I ….
Viggo: Well actually I have a high-tempo, all-night, all-day sex emporium going on in my house. *guffaws of laughter from all* So this is just a front. I go out and mow the lawn and throw up in the street and then I go back inside the house and get back to what I was really doing.’
Host: Well they really missed out on a good opportunity there. *host tries to bring back a semblance of order to interview* Now there was obviously a fair bit of violence in Lord of the Rings. A different type of violence in this one. You had an injury in Lord of the Rings, you broke a tooth. Any injuries in this one with the high impact stuff?
Viggo: No, I mean a few bumps and bruises from the scene on the stairs.
Host: It was a tough sex scene on those stairs. *all laugh*
Viggo: Yeah Maria had it a lot worse though, she got really banged up.
Host: Is that the right term to use? *they all lose it at this point*
Viggo: But we got through it. She was patient and she was a willing participant... *all laugh*
Host: Both things you want in a partner...
Viggo: Thank God! *all laugh*
Host: *tries to change subject* Now Viggo, I wanted to run a little test here, because when I told my mum I was speaking to you, she got very excited and she said ….
Viggo: What’s her name?
Host: Carrie.
Viggo: *husky sexy voice* Hello Carrie! *Viggo giggles rather maniacally* *all laugh*
Host: She might have just crashed the car …. Because she said, he’s got one of the sexiest voices in the industry. I was going to run a quick little test standing(?)? before we finish …
Viggo: Good!
Host: Could you say these unsexy words. Lets just see if they can get sexified. Income tax return.
Viggo: *husky sexy sexy voice* Income tax return
Host: Oh yes mum. If she hasn’t crashed, she has now. *laughs all around* Root canal.
Viggo: *husky sexy sexy sexy voice* Root *pause* canal. *more maniacal giggles from Viggo, laughs from the hosts*
Host: And this, I think this is for girls. This has got to be one of the most unsexy things that any man can ever say. Cricket match.
Viggo: *whispers in husky extremely oozing sex voice* Cricket match. *applause and laughter*
Host: Oh that was brilliant. Viggo Mortensen, thank you so much for dropping by.
