Viggo Mortensen To Play Gay: 'Didn't Think It Was A Problem'

Description

Viggo Mortensen is doubling down against critics of his portrayal of a gay man in “Falling,” a new drama which he also wrote and directed. The movie, which debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in January and hits cinemas in the U.K. this week, follows John (Mortensen), a middle-aged gay man who invites his homophobic father Willis (Lance Henriksen) to live with him and his husband, Eric (Terry Chen), when Willis starts to show early signs of dementia. Mortensen, who has only publicly been in relationships with women, has faced media scrutiny over his decision to take on the role.

  • Viggo Mortensen mixes poetry, photography in his last book

    Berlin, Dec 4 (EFE).- Viggo Mortensen, best known for his career as an actor, mixes poetry and photography in his latest book, What can not be written, which he presented on Tuesday at the Cervantes Institute in Berlin. SOUNDBITES OF VIGGO MORTENSEN (INTERVIEW AT THE CERVANTES INSTITUTE IN BERLIN): “It was a bid to write about the fact that, in my opinion, it’s impossible with words to tell honestly and exactly what one thinks or feels. It’s a challenge that drives you to failure, as well as nobody can’t make a perfect film, but one decides by himself if trying it is worthy.”“Every reading is different. There’s something that happens between your mouth and the listener in the air and it’s different every time. It’s the same with musicians, in a tour every concert is different.”
