Quote: Careless Beauty

Viggo and Bernard are at heart similar despite their differences of style and looks and nationality etc. Professionally they are both mavericks. Their prime aim is to work well on worthwhile projects. They do not suffer fools, even though they are themselves brilliant fools, clowns. Bernard in particular makes me laugh from the diaphragm, with his stories and his grin. Viggo wears his beauty so carelessly and deflects flattery with a wry head-on-the-side smile of modesty. These two acting kings are both terrific once more in The Return of the King.

Thanks to a request in an flocked post (I thought I'd used this, but apparently I hadn't).









Lots bigger if you save them. I believe these came from Faces_Fit, but it's been so long I'm not sure about that. Apologies if I'm wrong on that.

Ah yes, that's the quote. Thanks Wowie!

And aren't his eyes a beautiful colour in those pics. D'you know, every time I think I've got the guy out of my system I see photos like these and I'm back to square one....

*squirt*

His eyes, that grin.

I look at the scruff and wonder if he deliberately doesn't shave a day or two before events. How often do we see him that way?

Thanks for that quote, Wwowie! I remember reading Sir I's blog many years ago, and it appeared as though he and Viggo got on quite well. At least he didn't get Ian lost the time they went hiking! LOL

Ahhh! I love the Vig-ster!! Right down to that cute little freckle on his nose. That's my freckle ...

That's always been one of my favourites. And I think I was actually missing a couple of that photoshoot, too. Thanks!
