...and they're like "it's better than yours...já takk"
The boys, in this case, are Viggo Mortensen (já sæll!) and Stephen Fry, two exceptionally awesome lads in my book (for different reasons, obviously). Yeah, so they're involved in this little project called Inspired by Iceland, a collaborative campaign by Iceland's tourism industry to let people know that Reykjavik is not Pompeii. You see, people have been scared of coming to Iceland, and I think it has less to do with volcanoes and more to do with the prospect of being forced to spend extra time in crappy airports. Speaking of airports, Iceland's international airport is actually rather pleasant and recently got an award for not being crappy.
So, let's talk about Viggo. Have you seen Eastern Promises yet? If not, put the laptop down (NOW) and go watch it. There is one particular scene at a bathhouse and...never mind. Let's just say Viggo's in fighting shape. Yes sir.
Let's hear what the man has to say:

Yeah, this was a pretty heart-warming story here. And Viggo is a total class act. Funny to see him mentioned in the paper this morning, as I just saw The Road not too long ago and was thinking how the bleak ash-cloud covered south reminded me of some shots from the movie.
ReplyDeleteNote bene for other readers: Icelanders are like, a million times friendlier than the people in The Road, and cannibalism is frowned upon here.
Loved the video. What a guy.
