Viggo: I got lucky
Wednesday, October 24, 2007
Viggo Mortensen is very matter of fact when he talks about his life changing role as Aragorn in the Lord Of The Rings trilogy - saying he just "got lucky".
"I was 45 when it happened and had been working steadily in films and theatre before that, then something comes along and you just get lucky," said the actor, who is currently starring in Russian gangster flick Eastern Promises.
"It changed my life because of the friendships I made and memories I now have. But the main thing is that it helped me to get roles like this, because it did so well we all got the chance to do other things."
The enigmatic star, who plays a driver working for one of London's established crime families in his new movie, hasn't ruled out the possibility of Aragorn's return.
"I heard talk of a Hobbit film and, yes I'm curious about it," he said.
"I don't know where Aragorn would fit into that, but if it happens then Peter Jackson would be the best person to direct it."
Eastern Promises opened the London Film Festival with a glitzy premiere in Leicester Square last week.
