Quote: Arty but not Pretentious

Mortensen turns down my offer to brush off the dirty cushion he'd be sitting on. "Looks like my car," he says. He pets my cat, says hi to a guy who came to drop off a package, speaks Spanish to my cleaning lady, and gives me fliers for a show of his photography and a party to celebrate the release of One Less Thing to Worry About, an album he has made of poetry and music. He is, I decide, a swell drinking companion and - our recent experience notwithstanding - not the kind of guy to get thrown out of bars. He is intense (those cheekbones and those blue eyes help: "chiselled" and "piercing" being the operative clichés) but surprisingly soft-spoken, and arty but not pretentious.

Dang, he's so cute when he's not being pretentious! Viggo, we already know you think deep thoughts, try to laugh more, please? :p

Except for the newspaper reading, in these pics he doesn't look like he has a serious bone in his body.
