Viggo Mortensen saying "You bow to no one" is like Mark Hamill saying "May the Force be with you"
Gave me goosebumps that did
I can't imagine how Stephen felt when Aragorn said those words to him. There is no higher praise from the king of Gondor.
Always
Oh YEAH!
Flash back with a side order of adrenaline.
You can see Stephen just itching to talk about LOTR but restraining himself to do his job
Stephen is the biggest LOTR nerd around, anyone remotely connected to the original movie trilogy has Stephen in a giddy child-like mood.
Literally, I can see his seams are about ready to burst.
I'm so glad he always cracks and brings it up - I could hear about LOTR all day long.
@@tanadarko6991 agreed - and I could hear *Stephen* talking about LoTR all day long..
@@tanadarko6991 Yes! I'm sure there's someone out there thinking he's annoying for always bringing LOTR up, but to me, being basically as big of a LOTR nerd as him, I could listen to him talk about it all day. Wouldn't mind a talk show all about it tbh.
The great Viggo Mortensen! He wasn't the first choice to play Aragorn, but damn if he wasn't the best choice!
I can’t even imagine anyone else, he was so perfect.
He was born to be Aragorn and thanks to him we got an even bigger love story out of it too cause of his recommendations to Jackson & the having of the speaking of the Elven language, which is beautiful!
Poor Dougray Scott. Passed on Aragorn and Wolverine.
I'm enjoying this return of the king.
@@christophermanley3602 poor Stuart Townsend. Actually was cast as Aragorn before they decided he wasn't right for the part.
I like how he says he's seen, "The Hobbits" as though in some undisclosed location all 4 of them are still roommates.
Yeah....it felt so being there.
From what I've read the cast and crew still get along to this day.
Wait, they're not? ;)
Bag End, Hobbiton, Shire, West Farthing
Of course they do. Their wives have to live elsewhere.
Anyone else find it funny how the LOTR actors always seem so relaxed talking to Colbert? Like they have this attitude just like "Well, why shouldn't I talk to my biggest fan for 10mins?"
I know, right?
I love how he just lumps Elijah, Sean, Dom, and Billy as "the Hobbits."
I thought Sean Bean, which was Borimir?
I hope they have been meeting up occasionally, in a pub, and have a pint and a chat😍
That image makes me smile.
@@GreenDragon11 When he's talking about the Hobbits he means Sean Astin who played Sam
@Tina Beana Sean Bean yeah. Professional death actor. 🤣 There's a video somewhere on youtube of exactly how many times he's died.
Wrong Sean.
This man is excellent in every character he plays.
He really is! I was very impressed by every performance i saw of him. History of violence is a standout to me
I'm STILL watching Hidalgo
And in anything he does!
And so honest here. He's not trying to lie, or sell us on his movie. He's just relating his thought process, and he's totally aware of the awkward line between using your own experiences (the death of his mother, which would elicit a very complicated reaction; sadness, suffering, emotional exhaustion, emptiness and self-loathing, and whatever trauma their relationship might have had) to write a movie that can be more universally shared. Quite an intelligent man, no doubt. I'd boink him, and I'm straight.
His language skills are also impressive. I actually watched an interview that he did in French.... Amazing 😍
He seems like a very down to earth guy, absolutely no ego at all.
That's because he is from Denmark and are brougt up with normal danish values.
No vigo at all!
I was just gonna say. He’s Scandinavian.
He's just your regular Viggo Hygge.
Definitely was born for the role of Aragorn. An inspirational character as the actor himself.
"You, my friend bow to no one" nice one my lord lol
I was sure stephen would start crying at that point :D
you can tell Colbert got so happy when Viggo said that
I'm a simple man, I see a video of Stephen talking to one of the LotR cast members... ...I CLICK!
You are a simple copy cat
yeah, you are simple.
Stephen is trash
So amazing. To be told by Viggo Mortensen: "You bow to no one!" Stephen Colber is now a knight of Gondor. Arise, Sir Stephen! King Ellessar has spoken.
Viggo's comments about adapting his memories of his mother into a film are maybe the most open and vulnerable I've ever seen a celebrity be on a talk show. And Stephen got that immediately, and responded appropriately. Beautiful.
Viggo has the most adorable grin I’ve ever seen on a totally hot adult man! There is genuine kindness and intelligence behind his eyes. Just love him!
He comes across as such a lovely person
He is a lovely person. There are at least a billion people who are. It’s still hard to believe that there are 7 billion of us on this planet & cooperations only want you to keep consuming products even when you don’t need it! We are eating up our resources at alarming rates and there has to be away to make it where it shouldn’t be what’s most important!!!
Oh he is. He's such a loved legend here in Norway. So happy seeing him here! 🖤
It’s because he was raised by elf’s and is the king of men
Not bad on the eyes, either
I felt that when he was talking about his mother, his parents. I felt like I peeked into his soul -- he seemed so unguarded. I'm not sure if there is a life after this one. I hope our spirits go on in some form. But I can also only hope that I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and grandchildren as Mr Mortensen has so beautifully described, and has tried to illustrate through his work. That is truly eternal life.
"I would have followed you, my brother, my captain, my King." Viggo is an absolute joy and treasure to humanity.
Viggo-I'm sorry to hear about your mom's passing- My dad and myself did some tile work for her in Clayton, many, many moons ago! She showed us some of your great photography( she was very proud of you)!
Awww thank you for sharing-- that's a lovely memory.
What a sweet memory to share, thank you random friend on the internet!
"I am most nourished - not consumed."
Same way I feel, Stephen. Same. 😁
He seems so soft-spoken that if you didn't know who he was you would never believe he is one of the greatest actors of our generation
Here i sit with the warmest fuzziest of feelings for those two wonderful people after having just a short break to cry my eyes out because of their discussion of keeping the flame alive and the open wound being basically the same thing. Hit me like a truck out of nowhere. And instead of being utterly crushed by the thought i feel encouraged. Such a great conversation! Deep thanks to both of them =)
Yes! Lost my Mom 3 years ago and hadn’t seen her in too many years for a lot of different health reasons and couldn’t travel. It is my biggest regret and when talked about what you mentioned I felt like those were my thoughts. It’s hard! Peace ☮️ and be safe!
Well said
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️me too.
Came back to rewatch this part of their conversation as it speaks to my current grief so well.
It always hurts me to know someone else is hurting. it does little good, but I am sorry for your suffering. Accept GOD's Healing; because with it there is also learning. I wish you well.
I love Viggo. He was my first ever crush. After I saw him in Lord of the Rings, I just fell in complete love! haha
Kasia Luna Aragorn was my first literary crush and Viggo’s portrayal was brilliant so double crush
@@nimuehawk Yes!!! he was so good :)
So did every girl who’s first crush was legolas and then the two towers came out and then all hell broke lose 😝
Viggo is a true Renaissance man. Watch any commentary or making of videos for any of his movies and all anyone can express is how dedicated he is and creative. Incredibly inspiring
Mortensen comes across as a very calm, thoughtful and educated guy. I wish more celebrities were like him.
What an incredibly beautiful, soulful, intelligent, sensitive, perceptive and humble man.
The moment at 07:37 when Stephen Colbert realises he can die a happy man: 'You, my friend, bow to no one.'
Damn, I thought Stephen was semi joking with the 7 languages thing and then Vigo pulls out the fluent Spanish 😅😍
You can find videos of him doing interviews in all those languages, it's amazing.
He use to live in Argentina as a kid, but yeah, he knows a lot of languages.
And yet his English is in a flawless American accent which is also perplexing for a European. But real Viggo is actually even more impressive than Aragorn.
@@saintsataniko2116 is he European? I thought he was Canadian for some reason
@@saintsataniko2116 Fluent American accent is pretty easy to achieve, he is from Denmark wich is basically the most rediculous native accent. I suppose that may help when trying to emulate others
I could listen to these two converse all day. So thoughtful. So intelligent. So funny. So wise. And both wounded by life - Stephen losing his father and two older brothers in a plane crash, especially - but being able to incorporate such loss into their lives and not only survive but thrive. No Hollywood bullshit. No politics. Just openness, and humility, and love.
The world needs more of this.
Damn, I didn't know that about Stephen!
Me neither. 😕
Hugs dementia is so difficult for the family.
Also adore that you had a visit with the Hobbits
I vote him one of the best actor ever. My favorite movie of his, is "Hidalgo".
Oh that is such a damn good & beautiful movie, especially his relationship with his horse & the characters final acceptance of his heritage. That was based on a real guy 🤗! Frank, been awhile cannot get the last name on the spur of the moment right now, sorry! Take care & be safe!
Love me some Viggo. To me, if he is in a movie, he is the star of the movie.
Same.
That was a good film. He's a great actor. I liked "Good" and "The green book"
Viggo never disappoints in anything. Wish he was in even more projects.
@Bruce Springsteen thanks! I’m from Montana. Yourself?
I thought I detected a smallest crack in Viggo's voice when he spoke about his mother's dementia and death, and also about how he tried to keep the flame alive. Sure glad he's had many years of acting experience to help suppress his grief.
“But when Aragorn arose all that beheld him gazed in silence, for it seemed to
them that he was revealed to them now for the first time. Tall as the sea-kings of old, he
stood above all that were near; ancient of days he seemed and yet in the flower of
manhood; and wisdom sat upon his brow, and strength and healing were in his hands,
and a light was about him. And then Faramir cried:
'Behold the King!'
This is why one should still read the books.
@@edoardoprevelato6577 Indeed!
WOW, thanks! I only read the Hobbit and with working so much in my younger days I could not get the time to read the LOTR books that it was even more awesome when the films came out! And of course they are absolutely marvelous, that I haven’t had the pleasure so I say thank you for quoting the book!
@@edoardoprevelato6577 I know. Just spoke of that below 🤗
Oh yeah, take me back to 12th grade when I read this in its entirety. It was a fantastic journey into another world that you will never forget. Tolkien was a master of his craft. Can you just imagine, the years of dedication, he created several languages that didn’t even exist prior to penning these masterpieces. Good times! 😊
I could watch these guys talk forever. Just awesome.
I feel that way about many of these talkshow interviews. Just listening to two random guys shootin' the breeze is oddly soothing and relaxing to me.
So good to see Lance Hendrickson in a new major film. A sadly neglected talent and one of my personal faves. And so nice to see Viggo Mortenson. An artist, not a celeb. Great admiration for artists who stay humble despite their fame.
I thought the same & leave it to Viggo to give him a part. Lance has always been underrated!
And I agree regarding the last part of your statement! I do not like celebrities!!
Celebs can be artists tho.
...and for once he's not playing a bad guy. 😁
is incredible how his voice changed from english to spanish!
Yes, in fact, he has an Argentine accent, for the many years he lived there, here in Colombia we respect him a lot, because he is a vernacular, with an excellent ability to cite many ideas and have such diverse linguistic and artistic skills.
That's part of learning a language, I've come to realise. If you want to speak like a native, you need to adopt an accent away from your own, the same way it's obvious someone is a foreigner when they speak English with their normal voice: it's because they haven't changed from their native accent. Your accent isn't innate or written in stone, but it can feel like it.
"Flame alive and the wound open" - "the pain is also part of you" -5:00 what beautiful words and sentiment - my dad passed 22 Jan 1998 - 8 years after he was formally diagnosed with dementia - I was 19 (in hindsight, in grieving him in late 1998 - I realised I had known since I was 16) - it is painful - esp watching him become a shadow of himself - mentally & physically - over those 8 years - having those 8 years made me appreciate him even more - every moment with him
Just yesterday I finished my LOTR extended cut yearly rewatch... 💜
I used to do that every year too, before the friends I did it with moved away.
@@jedinxf7 I don't wait for anyone. I watch it alone if needed. Which is the starting point this past year🙄😏
@@nofarDcohen yes, I used to think people were overrated, but after a year of social distancing, I think I just like less than half of them half as well as they deserve.
One of the truths of personal development. You have to be comfortable alone, just as if you are with friends. Why? Because you’re never truly alone!
Was so glad that I got to rewatch these in the theaters in 2019
Viggo is one of my favorite actors!! I love that you adopted the horse from Hidalgo! 💗👍🏼💖👍🏼
You're truly a good person!!
Plus buying the horse that Liv Tyler's riding double rode in LOTR, for her. 🐎🙂
I'm not 100% sure, but I think he also bought his horse from the LoTR films, once shooting wrapped.
@@jcorbett9620 yes he bought the horse that played Brego who I’d I’m not mistaken died a few years ago
How refreshing to hear him :) He's excellent in all he does.
Where's the other 3 hours of this interview? I want them! :)
Stephen is right we don’t see enough of Viggo. He’s an amazing actor. ❤️❤️
Imagine Viggo saying to YOU, "You bow to no one" ❤❤❤
damn after all this time he is still fine. Never forget the first crush XD
Awww. He wasn’t my first but he was the BEST & still is! Not crazy about the haircut but hey. Not sure why guys do their hairstyles the way they do now.
Glad it’s not just me 😂 That moment on Weathertop when he turns and flings the flaming torch at the Nazgul is the hyper realistic standard to which my little high school freshman self held all real-life guys. And quite possibly why I never dated until college 😂
@@scubageek17 for me its when he arrives at Helm's Deep after everybody thought he drowned and he opens the double doors to meet the king 😌
Yep! First crush for me too. I think he was for a looot of teenage girls (and probably quite a few teenage boys) born in the early 90s.
He has moved into a bit of a “ Dad bod” look! But I still love him! He is always so handsome to me! Hidalgo was my fave along with LOTR. It’s the voice and the chiseled face and the soulful eyes and personality.
Be still my beating heart, It's Viggo!! 😍 Thank you Stephen! 😊
Something about that guy just kept me mesmerized the whole time he was talking.
He has affected me that from the beginning.
It’s his magnificent cleft chin, you could just fall into it, mesmerized! What were we talking about? 🤩
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Where was Gondor when the westfold fell?
Open war is upon you whether you would risk it or not
It comes in pints?! I’m getting one!
Where was Gondor when the Trumpists stormed the Capitol?!
@@arcturionblade1077 Berethor would’ve defended the Capitol with his life.
For Frodo!
I had no idea when I woke up today, I would connect with these two great people through our shared ordeal with having vertigo.
And that I would need that connection.
Take care everyone
Viggo is REALLY a wonderful and down to earth human being. I've met him personally and was pleasantly surprised by his calm, accommodating and friendly demeanor. Especially, since I was actually that gushing fan that interrupted his dinner with his friends (oops!). He was absolutely cool about it and provided his autograph and even wrote a personal sentence. I've met some other celebrities as well who couldn't care less about "normal people". Viggo (and Drew Carey) were the only exceptions in my experience. Multi-talented and humble! We need more like him.
Such a beautiful human, Viggo is.
OMG Aragorn told Stephen "you my friend bow to no one!" 🥰 So wholesome.
Find you a man that looks at you the way Colbert looks at Viggo :D
CAN YOU IMAGINE VIGGO SAYING THAT TO YOU?! I Screamed at my computer. so much joy in my heart right now
"Do you speak the language of the country you're in?"
"Yes"
"Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?"
Mortensen gives these relaxed answers that we usually only get from longer conversations. I adore the actor and I'm grateful to Colbert for Always knowing when to pull back and generously give the guest a chance to speak. It's funny cause he is so so wonderful with witty interjections. But sometimes, he gives that moment extra just when it's right. That's why he's still king. Love the show, Love the crew and family!
Viggo Mortensen is so wholesome.
I’ve always been in Love with Viggo! Love watching his movies.
My first crush as an adult.
Great chemistry and synergy with these two. Charming and sincere exchange.
The LOTR cast Zoom meeting is the greatest zoom meeting of all time. Plus, Sean Bean survived it.
One does not just walk into a Zoom meeting and come out a survivor.
When you fall in love with a character in a novel it’s always a disappointment to see them portrayed on the screen. Except, Viggo IS Aragorn. He was perfect. He’s always perfect in everything he does.
Met him in the Barcelona Airport.
Simply splendid human being.
He's in Madrid; my son went to the same primary school as his wife's son. Wiggo was there all the time.
A great actor and a great person overall, great interview with Viggo Mortensen 😎👏
Virgo is such a class act. Love to listen to his Argentinian accent when he communicates in perfect Spanish. And who else gets to just hang out with the Hobbits? Best to him on his new project. 👏👏👏👏
just the depth of this conversation. the warmth, the calmly respect. you don't get to watch this kind of vibe on any other late night show. kudos to stephen, the crew, and of course, the great viggo mortensen.
Flame alive is the same as wound open. A profound, bitter sweet truth.
He is such an incredible actor and so down to earth. I love all of his films. He was great in Hidalgo which is hardly ever mentioned. He is a truly wonderful actor. ❤️
I love how Stephen actually allows his guests to talk
There should be a whole show with Stephen talking about LOTR.
I would follow you anywhere, my king, my kin.
My heart goes out to Viggo Mortensen. My dad and my spouse's dad both died of Alzheimer's; my spouse's mother has it and my spouse is in an advanced stage. I've written a book to help caregivers help their dementia-suffering loved ones AND keep their own hopes and dreams alive. I admire his multi-lingual skills; they may be part of what pushes him clear of this.
Viggo's kindness shines through his being. He is beautiful in every way.
A 4 Hour Special with Mr. Colbert and the Cast and Members of the Lord of the Rings Filmcrew in and about the Movies, about Tolkien, the Relationships, the Bonding, the evolving from that and many stuff more.......with an super extended cut of additional 16 hours.....all that, i would soak in and still it wouldn't be enough.
Still today everynight i have my audiobooks playing (Two Towers for January)
Thank you Mr. Tolkien.
We humans are so fragile. We need to take a break before we go up into the hills. That’s poetry. Thanks for sharing your journey and thoughts 💭. I thank everyone that made this so awesome 😎. Thanks for your soulful thoughts 💭. To Stephen Colbert and Viggo Mortensen and crews.
His performance in eastern promises is truly unbelievable.
A true renaissance man!☀️I also experienced my mother having dementia in her final years. It was one of the toughest things I have ever experienced.
Wow, the live flame/open wound metaphor really captures the best aspect of mourning; who knew there was a 'best'? What a philosopher!
And then he "can take the bad with the OK", then turns the compliment... Seriously, intriguing!
Nice wind-up, Stephen, referencing vertigo while promoting "Falling".
I have been in awe of his talents for a long time. A wonderful actor and humble human being.
Doing three movies like that, back to back. Peter Jackson must be the best Jigsaw Puzzle expert in the world. Whilst juggling at the same time.
Especially when watch ALL of the videos that extras. They are all great but my favorites are the bloopers and practical jokes that went on. Viggo was loved playing jokes on his friends 😂😂! Sorry he lost his Mom! I know he was very close to her. My Mom passed away a few years ago and everything he said about the memories wether painful or good was spot on!
Jackson was mostly in charge of the first filming unit. But all the film's are shot simultaneously, so there was a lot of people that should get the credit for how good the trilogy is.
@@Jabokrazy Indeed, but it still needed his central position to be in charge of all the logistics for filming, tying the story together, making sure that all those other units were doing what he (and maybe Fran, and other writers) wanted. This is definitely not to denigrate all those second/third (etc/) units were doing, but all their work had to dowvetail into the overall conception. Whatever. It still stands up as a monumental accomplishment in the world of film, and one wonders... Could anyone else have done it?
Kiwi guy, all hard working here in New Zealand. We speak English and Maori
So sad to know dementia runs in his family, Viggo is one of the most intelligent hard working actors in the business it breaks my heart to think of him losing all of that to a disease.
My first thought. Hopefully since he speaks so many languages and is a writer & well read his brain power will prove to prevent dementia. It would be great if expanding ones knowledge is the prevention. Singing & playing music last longer than any other memory destroyed by dementia, which weirdly leaves me hopeful that prevention may be discovered. My family that have had Alzheimer’s were very intelligent, achieved top in their chosen fields and readers but not voracious & only spoke/read one or two languages. It’s such an awful loss, for everyone who knows the afflicted. It really is the long good bye!
I love how he stayed to face his vertigo demons. Courage is not the absence of fear. It is facing your fear and staring it down and pushing past it or letting it pass you.
@Bruce Springsteen Air Force brat, Army vet'.
Viggo rules !!!!!
That was a beautiful sentiment: The wound and the flame.
Viggo has lived in Madrid for years but he has not lost that wonderful Argentine accent when he speaks Spanish.
Yeah... he lives in Spain because his wife is spanish but his accent is pure argetinian. :)
He called them the Hobbits. That makes my heart so happy 💖
Stephen freaked out internally when Viggo said "you bow to no one"
i wish i had half of Viggo's fine talents. this man is amazing
I'm sure Stephen had to hold himself back when Viggo referred to the Uruk-Hais as Orcs.
So glad to see Vigo hire Lance Henrickson for something other than a sci fi type movie. He's an underrated actor
Viggo Mortensen is a beautiful human being. What a lovely soul. And I know Stephen is relating to the loss of his mother.
One of the only "celebrities" I have consistently been in love with my whole adult life, heh. Viggo is a different level.
I would absolutely love to just hear him talk for hours...
When they started talking about Vertigo, I looked it up to see if there was a link to dementia. Unfortunately, they are linked. :(
I fell in love with Viggo in G.I.Jane and he will always be Master Chief Urgayle to me
1 of his best acting roles & too underrated!
My God, his Spanish is incredible! And I should know... damn his sweet talking mouth!
He lived until the age of 8 in Argentina. He still keeps some of the accent.
@@HariGtt Yeah, I could hear that. Impressive.
Su acento en español es puro argentino. Hay al menos una película argentina en la que le oyes y es impresionante escucharle.
@@HariGtt Yep, thanks for providing the info I am glad I checked the comments this time instead of after I typed a response. 🤗
@@HariGtt I'm an Argentinian and he speaks as one. Total Argentinian accent. Not only he speaks as one but he cherishes a lot of the Argentinian culture as his own, he is a total fan of San Lorenzo (soccer team), he drinks mate (you can see him doing it in "Captain Fantastic"), he comes to Argentina really often and shares with the people as he is at home :)
You know things are gonna be okay when Aragorn shows up eventually.
"I am most NOURISHED, not CONSUMED" is almost as good as Viggo's "You bow to no one." This is why we love you, Stephen. Right there with ya, man.
He is one of my all time favorite actors and it seems like he is a wonderful person too, not to mention his various talents and interests..
@Bruce Springsteen I now live in California. I lived many years on the east coast
Soon the intro to Quarantinewhile will be longer than Quarantinewhile
The man, the myth, the legend.
This might be the only Late Show interview where you know that the Dude doing the Interview is more interested in the actor then the actor.
Need more Viggo!
Thank you. Great interviewer and a wonderful Viggo here. He seems so happy and content.
