Still my favorite story from the Lord of the Rings set: Viggo Mortensen bonded so much with the horse he rode in the movies that after filming was over he bought it from its owner. If that doesn’t warm your heart I don’t know what could.

don’t forget that he also bought arwen’s horse for her stunt rider when she couldn’t afford it awww

#also don’t forget that for the rohirrim they put a call out for locals #bring a horse show us you can ride it and get a part in the battle scenes #and one women went out roped a wild horse and rode for a few days to set #and got to be a rider of rohan

also sort of relevant viggo also bought the horse that costarred with him in the movie hidalgo and subsequently took the horse (tj) with him to the red carpet premier. 

Also most of the Riders of Rohan are actually women because when they put out that call mostly women showed up with their horses and the costume team just stuck beards on them.

if this isn’t the best post i don’t know what is

new zealanders are actually rohirrim tho

All of these things. andthe fact that the children in helm’s deep and other scenes in LOTR look back at the films and are like, “HEY LOOK! MY BABY VIDEOS.”

Don’t forget that Viggo was attracted to a Rohan rider. Before he knew it was a woman. And then was very confused. Don’t forget how they teased him about that.

“I think eventually they get bored of pictures of me—just walking the dog, he’s got a doughnut in his mouth, he’s lost his keys, he’s sleeping on the curb…long story. I remember when Lord of the Rings came out there was a lot of that. They had pictures of me carrying my dog inside the vet’s office, coming out of 7-11 at three in the morning with a doughnut, not looking good.But I think eventually they got bored, he just goes in bars and watches soccer games.”

-Viggo in an interview with Kirsten Dunst for BlackBook

In all seriousness, everyone got hurt on this movie. Everyone was scarred and everyone went through, you know, a little bit of physical kind of pain. But if you’re talking about something life-changing, something huge, you know, something that really had a deep effect on all of us; not only the person that it happened to, but the crew and most of the Western Hemisphere… Orlando breaking his rib was huge.
