of Radar magazine has Viggo Mortensen with before/after photos with a snippet about his rumored Botox injections. I'm not sure whether he's had them or not, but I must admit there does seem to be a very dramatic difference

0_0!

I can't see Vigg getting botox. But then again, who are we to really know/ make a judgment like that.

When you do open your chrissy pressie, will you please scan tha pic for us? *puppy dog eyes*

[illuminated_sin]

Yes if I can remember to! It's like a month from now. :/ You'll have to remind me. :)

Honestly in the picture of him with his horrible beard and mustache for Appaloosa, his forehead and cheeks are smooth like a cue ball. In the "before" photo he's got serious deep wrinkles.

[dragonmad]

Make up? Or maybe computer edited? *looks hopeful*

I don't like the idea of Vigg using botox. :(

[illuminated_sin]

No, no makeup would do this.

Serious chemical peel maybe. But it looks like Botox.

He looks younger.

Viggo doesn't strike me as a botox kind of guy... but we could be all reading him really wrong... maybe he's a narcissistic reclusive hermaphrodite? (the 'reclusive hermaphrodite' is a direct quote from the man when he was here promoting HOV... someone asked him about his love life... he said he was a reclusive hermaphrodite! I snorted my morning coffee)

[dragonmad]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Reclusive hermaphrodite!!!!!! Where did he say that?! *giggles!!!!*

I know!!! It's ruining my whole perception of him! *pouts*

Am keeping my fingers crossed that it's a computer edited image. :(:(

[liriel1810]

I swear to God, he did! It was on Triple M, and Bridget Duclow (sp?) asked him about his love life... it was fucking hilarious! I was hoping they would have podcast the interview, but they never did. :(

[dragonmad]

Oh!!!!!!!!!! That'd be right! The one thing that would get thousands of downloads and they don't podcast it! *sniffles*

That's classic though!!! *is SO amused!!!!!*

*ponders and then turns puppy dog eyes on you* Fic? *bats eyelashes persuasively!!!!*

[luthien_af]

That would be the last thing I'd expect of Viggo :S.

Could you scan the pics after Christmas? *puppy eyes* or maybe someone else can upload them?

[illuminated_sin]

I'd be happy to do so. I may forget so if I do, please remind me. :)

[luthien_af]

I'll try to remember too, but don't be surprised I forgot as well ;).

Ummm...that article is online here and the title is "Would Plastic Surgery Improve These Famously "Imperfect" Mugs"? Then it goes on to show several before and after digitally corrected people like Meryl Streep, Zach Braff, etc., but I imagine there are more in the magazine itself. Is that the section Viggo's pics are in?

Also, that interview you're talking about was podcast and was hilarious. I'll try to find it and come back with it for you. :)

[illuminated_sin]

No, Viggo is in a different section just before that. Not the "would it improve them" but the actual plastic surgery.

[luthien_af]

I'd love to hear the interview too! *bounces* Can I have it as well? *puppy eyes*

[nikkie222]

Here's the link to The Cage interview.

The reclusive hermaphrodite comment is at about 7 1/2 minutes when he deflects a personal question about his love life. The whole interview is pretty good. PLEASE do not hotlink this.

And if you've never heard this one from the same press tour, it's absolutely hilarious... Mission Andy

Again, PLEASE do not hotlink this.

Enjoy!

[illuminated_sin]

Thanks so much and no worries. I've saved them both to my hard drive and if I do post them it'll be my own link to download. I'll listen to them first though. I know a few people on my flist had wanted to hear them so I might upload to Sendspace or something.

Thanks again! :)

[nikkie222]

You're so welcome! I'm glad I could help!
