That is a MAN.
now that's what i call a tall glass of water....get me a straw!
THAAAAAAAANK you.
the chest in his hair is all in swirls. I like him a little more ripe.
I meant, the hair in his chest...
How is it that he looks just as handsome now as he did at 22? I think he was always meant to be more rugged and craggy, and he's actually grown into his looks as he's gotten older.
Yes, he didn't get famous until his late 30s and didn't become a big name until his 40s so he's a classic case of late bloomer. He looks so great @ 50 (right now).
I'd never seen a photo of him this young so I had to share.
Wow, he looks amazing...but I prefer rugged, old, tattered Viggo.
And to think, I didn't even like him OR think he was good-looking until the second LOTR picture where I was finally won over (forever).
His young Danish look is a bit like Nicolas Coster-Waldau, that new to US Danish actor who was the lead in the short-lived TV series New Amsterdam. And hey, isn't Mads Mikkelson Danish too? I've got to put Denmark on my "must visit" list.
I do hope that Viggo gets appreciative notices for The Road. He's so great when he plays the caring for others roles. Maybe that's why I wasn't so keen on his earlier more villainous roles. I guess I still associate part with actor when I shouldn't.
Jaw drops.
He could wrestle me in a naked knife fight any day.
Man, he was gorgeous in those photos.
And still is.
