His voice is so soft and comforting, but not quite the type to make you fall asleep, but the kind that compels you and draws you in to listen what he has to say. What a great man. Mysterious as fuck and in touch with who he is and the world around him. And a very literate man. He knows over 5 or 6 languages.

The Road by Cormac McCarthy - a timely reminder to ' carry the fire ' of kindness during these anxious times.

"The Fire" is much more than just kindness. Kindness would have meant that the father didn't harm anyone, even the threats.

Kindness itself is not politeness. Kindness is not perfection. Kindness can have many faces.

This just makes you love Viggo more and more....he is so caring, understandable and in touch with what surrounds him....he is by far one of the best person/actor we have today...there are many that should/need to take lessons from him.....

I would pay a million dollars to hear him read the entire book. Someone make it happen.. please?

He'd make a good reader. Richard Poe does a fantastic job of reading McCarthy, though.

@@estebanb7166 has he (Viggo) ever done any audiobooks? I’d be surprised if he didn’t. Has the right voice for those types of things.

Many ladies go crazy for Depp..mine will forever remain this enigmatic man that is Viggo Mortensen. I may be way too young for him but I sure hope of having someone like him

This must be one of the most interesting actors around. And he still drinks mate :)

Gosh, I'm always so impressed with Viggo's intelligence and sensitivity when I see him in interviews. Thanks so much for posting this. I will check out the movie.

This book is really transcendentally beautiful! The way Viggo read this novel is by far the most beautiful interpretation of how something should sound that I have ever heard! Get him to read the whole novel for an audiobook PLEASE!

This man is amazingly talented. And he is just beautiful inside and out. The more I learn about him the more I respect him. Viggo you are FANTAZMAGORICAL! :)

they way he speaks is so romantic!!!

Very good interview. Very short though, but very intimate. Quite revealing. THE ROAD was, for me, one of the best movies I've seen. It really does show how frail life is. How we take everything for granted and then when it all collapses we're eating breadcrumbs off of table tops. It shocked me: No plant life. No birds, no instects. Beached whale skeletons on the shores. Everything was gone. People lived like Homeless people in a post-apocolyptic world. It was a very disturbing and sad movie.

Portraying a common emotion like paternal love and devotion, even under uncommon circumstances, in a unique but completely relatable way seems like it'd be tough. Viggo Mortenson pulls it off really well.

watching this interview gave the book so much more meaning, just viggo explaining what he thinks casts a new light on story.

The best interview with an actor I've ever seen.

Viggo was made for the role as "The Man" after seeing the movie, its almost a fact that NO ONE else could have played the role as good as he did. He was the PERFECT choice...as if the novel was written for him lol. Excellent movie, so good that i feel embarassed for not buying the book yet. im scared to know how much ill love it.

The road is so disturbing but still so beautiful... I have a son and man I would give my life for him.

2:14 see that little metalic stick and container bowl folks? That's the latin american herbal drink called "Mate". Viggo lived in Argentina for many years and he really cares about that lineage and past. Such a great actor/person indeed

Excellent interview. The way its shot, the lighting, the music - it all compliments Viggo's sensibility and the words of Cormac McCarthy.

Some of the listed celebrities have families, others humanitarian foundations, some simply enjoy what they do and share their passion with the rest of the world. Viggo is one of those - but not all.

He also mention about how something so simple like friendship and love makes all the difference. And when all seems so terrible, kindness and love can still be found...

words cannot discribe him!!! i loooooooove you mr viggo!!!

Beautiful interview, thanks a lot.

you must not be paying much attention, viggo is the most brilliant actor of his generation, see his movies colaborations with cronenberg or his interviews and you´´ll see why.

О боги... эта атмосфера... свечи, книги, его полу-шёпот.... И он такой молодой и красивый. Как божество. Это лучшее интервью что я видела.

No dislikes-absolutely comprehend. Viggo is a great human being,he's so special.And sexy in addition :) More these people.

What a shame the audio is messed up on this video! But yes, The Road is an amazing film with brilliant performance by Viggo and Kodi. It will break your heart and make you appreciate what you do have a lot more.

This made me want to read it again.

Why so beautifull ? This man exist for real ?

I need to read the book now..

Wise words of one man portrayed by another wise man, love this vid

"I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of Men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the Age of Men comes crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!" Aragorn spoke of the same themes as this film. That is what makes TLotR so great!

Viggo is such a great dude👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Would like to see this film, but it didn't show in any of my local theatres... I hope the DVD comes out sooner rather than later... Mr. Mortensen's interpretation of his work on this film is the kind of deepness I wish would come more often from pop culture.

One of my top favorite actors. I'm surprised he doesn't get all the credit he deserves

a very good actor, better then manny superstars for sure

Can we please get a version of audio book where Viggo Mortensen reads us The Road?

how clear and simple

am so agree with u!!

A Beautiful Man.

Few to almost none could have done as good as him

Viggo is a treasure. Love him.

Viggo ... immortal.

What was the "Event" that occurred in the movie/book? To me.. a Super Volcano.

Can someone transcript here the part of the book he reads? English is not my first language and i couldnt understand well... Thankx a lot for who can help me in this :)

@Doco1973 Hi, thankx a lot for your help :)

agreed

There's a reason this video has no "dislikes".

He bows to no one

💜

@bajsmannen92 Agreed

Holy crap. Who knew Viggo had that in him??

I think this book should be read in high school. America is sitting on this living treasure and we think it's best to leave it in an attic.

Your very welcome :)

Viggo Mortenses in one of the greatest actors in our days, he have to be recognize soon for the Academy, or it will be a shame, The Road is not a pessimist film, The Humanity is... Untill we have films like this, the Flame of Hope will continue, Thanks God, let's not polute the world with Garbage (stop producing Terminators Gayzation, and produces much more Roads)

Im not gay but holy shit, thats one good lookin gibroni

@freedomefortooting obviously you've been grinding on kingrobot >.>
