Viggo is one of my favorite humans. My grandma worked at an airline and talked to Viggo a number of times. He never accepted any upgrades in his flights, always insisted on flying coach and not being treated specially. Humble man.

He's so genuine and humble, amazing person.

It's funny that they brought up Lord of the Rings as being fake, because someone accidentally threw a knife at Viggo while they were filming a fight scene. He deflected it. With his sword.

@@ahmetkurum4114 It's literally in the BTS footage in the extended edition of the LotR DVDs. The actors made these claims themselves, lol. The trilogy was full of injuries on set. When Sam goes into the water during Fellowship to chase Frodo in his boat, Sean Astin stepped on a piece of glass that cut his foot really bad. In Two Towers, when Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas were sprinting across Middle Earth to find Merry and Pippin, Aragorn had two broken toes, Legolas had a cracked rib, and Gimli had dislocated his knee prior, and even loses his shoe while he's running. The toe thing is even more awesome once you find out the story behind it. They filmed the scene where the hunting trio go to the burnt bodies that the Rohirrim piled up after their night raid on the Uruks, and when the trio is led to believe that the hobbits are dead, Aragorn lets his emotions out and kicks a helmet. Peter Jackson wanted Viggo to kick the helmet as close to the camera as possible, but Viggo kept missing, so he had to kick it over and over. On the very last kick, he gets it, but that's when his toes break, so the scream he lets out as he's dropping to his knees is out of pain, and that's the cut they use for the movie. Everyone thinks that Viggo had adlibbed and extended his scream, and they don't find out about his broken toes until after he tells them. Viggo could've stopped the scene as soon as he felt the pain of breaking his toes, but instead he used it to further bring out Aragorn's emotions.

@@ahmetkurum4114 Why? It's true. Watch the extra footage on the DVD's. Both of those people's comments are true. Elijah Wood's Hobbit sized double told Viggo he couldn't swim while they were canoeing down the Anduin. Viggo woke the Fellowship cast up early to go fishing, they also went camping. Viggo broke a tooth filming the Battle of Helm's Deep and had to be convinced he needed to see a doctor rather than continue filming. Viggo would greet other members of the cast, particularly the Fellowship and stunt team, by headbutting them.

The whole duck scene is in the movie Falling, directed by Viggo himself. love it.

"my duck"

It amazes me each time I see Viggo that the first time he was in his first motion picture he starred with Harrison Ford in WITNESS. He looked so young. But as I see more and more interviews on him and read more stories on him, he is an amazing man. I just bought HIDALGO, a very wonderful movie he made. I've seen only parts of it. In the finale of the movie, I saw him release HIDALGO into a herd of Mustangs after all the amazing adventures they had shared in Africa. I HAD to get the movie so I could see WHY he did that. I was stunned when he let him loose to join the herd. I must find out why!

This is such an adorable story.

Fact - He added this duck-story to his directorial debut which was written by him about a fictional family, but he added parts of his real-life too into it, like the father suffering from dementia, and the residence being a ranch.
