I admire Viggo Mortensen's conviction. He opposed the War on Terror at a time when it was hideously unpopular to do so and when he was in the public eye. Very few people are brave enough to do that.

What mad courage this guy has to speak up at a time when it wasn't cool to talk against the government. My respect and love for this man grows whenever I listen to him speak up his mind... What a beautiful courageous man inside out... Honestly nobody could've been a perfect Aragorn than him... He was born to be Aragorn... My Captain, My King ❤

He is so intelligent. I love his views on this topic. I don't just love him because he's absolutely gorgeous, but because he's child-like in a way, so free-spirited and caring, yet at the same time, he's so mature and so intellectual, he's just great

He puts everything so well, I'm very impressed by him. If more people were like him the world would be a better place :)

I have a lot of respect for him and his ideals.

the man is brilliant. this interview is what got me past his looks mostly and into his other stuff. he's soo intelligent and well spoken and passionate and temperate. I would love to just have a conversation with him. He is aware of sooo much

Love Viggo. He is so well informed and intelligent.

If this interview had been done today it would be a big deal all over the internet and those knuckleheads online would be screaming WOKE!!!!!

The people of the Untied States of America have not only the right to question the government buearacracy when it fails to serve them - they have, under the Constitution, the obligation to do so.

This is a brave man

viggo...i mean i love you anyway, as an actor, poet, artist etc. but this was reaaally brave!

Viggo is very smart guy, with open mind....he can see more, then usualy people see only watching TV. 😊❤

He was stunning there

He did get a degree in Spanish and Government...

This video always gives me such hope. I'm an infj just like Viggo, and I feel incredibly alone and alienated at times feeling like I'm the only one actually not losing myself into the patterns and beliefs our entire society is based upon. People don't want to hear the truth they themselves also know to be the reality beyond social and psychological illusions, because it's too uncomfortable to look at. Too many things would have to be questioned if one took on that task. Whenever I feel hopeless and like I just don't fit in this world of stuck up beliefs and people constantly escaping the truth and lying to themselves, I watch this video and admire his cognition at play: his objective point of view, his lack of ego, will to get to the truth, honesty and authenticity, empathy and social skills, the completeness of his intuitive passion. He really cares about people, about the truth, and because of his immense courage, he feels like, against the need for social balance, which is also very important for an infj, when given the opportunity and space he expresses his full concerns for where the situation is at and going towards. This is why it is so hard and heavy to live amongst people as an infj - you see the linear cause and effect all the time and people's motives behind ignoring it, and you hate constantly having to take the role of shaking up the reality so that people would wake up and look at the lies they tell to themselves. It is not to say that an infj doesn't have blind spots, we have plenty, especially when it comes to taking care of everyday tasks, which can make it very hard and heavy to live with an infj. But it is this mystic like courage and insight I so love about my cognition type, and I admire Viggo for using it for good the way he does💗

Wow he looks hot here!

The problem that I have with Charlie Rose is that he’s always interrupting the guest who is speaking. Like let them answer the damn question.

it looks like he was filming hidalgo at the time of this interview, by his haircut

AMERICAN JOURNALIST HAS SUCH A NARROW-MINDED POINT OF VIEW SO CHARACTERISTIC OF THEM!

I’m glad he didn’t get angry and it stayed a reasonable discussion for the most part

thin young rugged then but still the same freedom and clarity of expression now and then Viggo.

Im here bc he looks THE EXACT same in the movie captain fantastic in his 50s or 60s. Will stay for the conversation

OMG, Viggo is SO incredibly handsome, gorgeous, beautiful!! wow.

great stuff

Viggo has to do the movie of kurt cobain's life!

It took some time, but he made a good case eventually.

I want to see the rest!!!!

@creat3d I totally agree. He is talking about very important political issues, and someone still only cares about how he looks. That's not what's important with this interview

You are raising very nteresting questons by asking Yourself. This is the start of active selfawareness. Ask the question why are we doing so? So Nice to hear that You say you are more interested of making things better. You do not like that Your own counrty is so violent. Many innocent People die and we need to see we ourselves we are a part of killing when we are quiet.

y he's a Dane, so thats why his voice is like that, really

One only clear good thing in USA is: *You can criticise even the Government.*

@greenviolets1 e's not swedish he's danish ;)

is this from 2002???

Can't really blame them tbh. If I were in their place and similarly uninformed about world politics (like Elijah) or just shocked to see my co-star start talking about US global militarism on such a widely viewed programme of a cable network which is most probably controlld by the same powerful people, I'd probably shut up too lest I expose my own ignorance in such important matterss.

@elseptimodelfin I think in the US, the media is not seperated enough from the politics, it's not the independent media it should be

He looks very handsome here, shame people age so fast. I really wish I had the chance to be part of the lotr crew.

Viggo could play Kurt Cobain.

So for thinking somebody is hot i'm directly labeled as being dumb? That's really fascinating please do go on.

Charlie is despicable.

This man hasn't acted since

I always had seen the shadow of Mordor as the spread of Islam.

No wonder they say blondes are dumb....just saying /shrug . Hope you got more out of this interview than just his looks.
