wowieno, not the tv show!
Mortensen also fell head-over-reel in love with New Zealand because he’s a keen angler. He particularly enjoyed wandering off into the wilds, looking for remote rivers to do a spot of fly-fishing. “There are some streams where the fishing’s so good, I wouldn’t tell you about them,” he grins. However, on one of these safaris in the South Island, disaster struck and Mortensen nearly perished.
“It was one of those rare times when I actually had the weekend off, so I headed off to the West coast, into the rainforest, to a place I’d been to before,” he recalls. “I was trying to get to the coast via the woods but it was a bit of a hike and it started to get dark. Stupidly, I hadn’t brought a flashlight with me because I thought I knew the trail. But I soon got lost because there was no moon and I was in dense bush. It was pitch black but luckily I had a camera with me that had a flash, so I used the flash to try and find my way out. I was taking pictures, using the flash to try and find the trail, because it let me see everything around me for a second. But I never did find it and then I ran out of film! At some point, I ended up in a marshy area and I kept falling down and getting cut by thorns. I just thought, ‘This is stupid,’ so I found a piece of relatively high ground and lay down for a while until the moon came up. “Fortunately, when the moon did finally come up, I managed to get my bearings and figured how to get back to where I started from,” he recalls. “When I showed up, I really alarmed the makeup people because it looked like I’d been through a grinder!”

Why is the thought of Viggo Mortensen looking as though he has been through a grinder so incredibly erotic?
