Happy Friday Lovelies,

I'm a bit behind and couldn't get all of the pictures I want to use to load, but I decided to go ahead with today's crush just because he was on my mind. Besides, when you can go from the Prince of Darkness to the King of Middle Earth, four pictures is more than enough. Yes, you guessed it Lovelies, this Friday's Crush of the Week is Viggo Mortensen

As always, come on in if he's your thing, but if not, come on by next week and see if there's someone more to your liking. 

I first became aware of Viggo as Lucifer in 1995's The Prophecy with Christopher Walken and Eric Stolz. To this day, I think Viggo's portrayal of Lucifer is the best I've seen. Evil's biggest pull is that on the surface it can look so pleasing. But even pleasing on the surface, there is no moment in the handful of them for which he's on screen in which he isn't utterly frightening.

From The Prophecy there's nearly an entire library of supporting roles that feature Viggo and a growing cache of starring roles from Hidalgo, to A History of Violence, to Eastern Promises. But without doubt it is his role as Aragon in The Lord of the Rings trilogy for which he's best known.

Viggo wasn't the first choice for Aragon, in fact he was a last minute replacement for Stuart Townsend and only took the role because he son loved the trilogy so much. If I knew where to send it, I'd get the boy a gift because he certainly gave fans one with how perfectly Viggo brought Aragon to life.

I could go through many other things from Viggo's poetry, to the fact he's fluent in three languages and conversant in a handful of other, to the tight bonds he formed with the cast of LotR in particular Karl Urban. But I'm out of time. Follow the link love and learn all you care too. Every link on his name leads somewhere different. For now, onto the pictures. 

Enjoy.

*Loves* A History of Violence. Muchly loves it. Whenever I'm in a certain weird place I shove that DVD in.

Not going into the movies about all the walking through the mud, cuz we've been there.

And not saying he's not totally lickable despite the mud, because I love his look there, but...you know.

I'm a big Viggo fan too. I think he'd make an awesome Dracula character:)

Yummy is definitely a word. I can't even pinpoint exactly what it is, but he has it in abundance. :)

Fantastic choice. I just wathced History of Violence the other night. Viggo is always fantastic in his roles. I certainly have to say, however, that for full on crushness (goes right into character crush) I will always love him most as Aragorn. He was perfect for it.

He is crush worthy, and Aragon does it best for me, but I could barely pay attention to him during the trilogy what with Orlando Bloom in there, sigh. I was just watching the 3rd Pirate last night and Orlando is on my mind, sorry, lol.

Never be sorry to have Orlando on your mind. He's on the list of upcoming crushes himself. I loved Legolas, I would have watched a movie called "Lord of the Rings: Legolas", and been just fine. LOL

Love Will Turner too, I think he looked sexiest as the captain of the Flying Dutchman so I can see how #3 had him on your mind. :)
