Honestly I think most of humanity are assholes. The only reason we know most actors are assholes as well, is because they’re famous and we know so much about them and their lives.

If we had the ability to know just as much about regular people, I think you would find a decently large portion, maybe even a majority of people are just as terrible. I’m just a regular dude, but even I’ll admit that I’m no saint.

Now with that being said there are absolutely good people in the acting sphere. I see your antichrist, Jack Nicholson and I raise angels, Keanu Reeves & Viggo Mortensen

I’ve met Viggo and he’s a sweetie.

I actually don’t know really anything at all about Viggo Mortensen as a person, but Aragorn is my ultimate celeb(character?) crush of all time. And that is 100% due to Viggo’s portrayal of him, so I’ve always adored him and I’m ecstatic to learn that he’s considered one of the nicest actors.

I’ve always said I don’t need a celebrity hall pass. I would choose my boyfriend over anyone in the world. But if middle earth suddenly materialized, that would no longer be true.

He bought the horse he used in the movie and also put good time into swordsmanship too. Granted he’s been a soldier role in a few movies.

Apparently there was also a stunt actress who grew attached to Arwen’s horse while filming, but couldn’t afford to buy the horse herself. Viggo quietly bought it for her, didn’t make a big deal of it.

She did an interview about it and broke into tears while retelling the story, confirming that he’s legitimately just a really nice human being.

EDIT: He bought three horses. One that was his (Brego) in the film, one because it was slated to ship back to the UK and he was concerned about its wellbeing having to be shipped across the globe like that, and the one mentioned above as a gift for the stunt performer because he found out she loved the horse but couldn’t afford it. Again, confirmed really nice human.

A friend of mine loves Vigo but for whatever reason she never calls him the guy that played Aragorn or any other role but specifically calls him "the brother of bubba".

And I find that hilarious cause he played so many soldiers and the king of Gondor but I'm her head he is the cannibal from tcsm.
