On The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Alexander Skarsgård casually dropped that he made out with Viggo Mortensen (“or a guy who looked like him at least”) at a Lord of the Rings party in Cannes circa 2001 when he was just starting out in the industry.
Story starts around 1:30
“We were drinking mead,” Skarsgård said. “I was like making out with Viggo Mortensen… It was great. It was an incredible party.”
Host Stephen Colbert replied, “There are many reasons to be jealous of you. I just found the best one.”
Skarsgård responded, “That party or Viggo Mortensen? Or the combination?”
To all the ONTDers whose hearts filled with glee over the fellowship and our on-and-off boyfriend ASkars, I think of you fondly. It’s been decades.
