Viggo Mortensen picks his favorite \u2018Lord of the Rings\u2019 trilogy scene<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Viggo Mortensen is known for his iconic role as Aragorn in The Lord of the Rings<\/i> trilogy, but his favorite scene from the franchise isn\u2019t of his own.<\/p>\n

On January 14, the Empire special January issue marked the reunion of Viggo with his former co-star Sean Bean to celebrate 25 years of the beloved franchise.<\/p>\n

The star of Peter Jackson’s adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s books reflected on their time on set and revealed some of the series\u2019 most famous scenes, including Boromir’s death in the first movie, first movie of the trilogy, The Fellowship of the Ring.<\/i><\/p>\n

The moving scene not only hasn\u2019t touched the audience but also gripped Viggo for years now.<\/p>\n

With the publication, Viggo recalled that behind the scenes, there was some debate about the best way to kill Boromir, causing nervousness among the people.<\/p>\n

“There was this whole thing about how they were gonna do all these Orc arrows that Sean was gonna get riddled with,\u201d Viggo revealed. \u201cThey were trying to do all these complicated things, kinda old-school but with wires, and Sean finally said, ‘Just stick it in and I\u2019ll pretend it just hit me and I\u2019ll do one after the other.\u201d<\/p>\n

He then turned to his co-star Bean and asked, “Didn\u2019t you do it that way?”<\/p>\n

\u201cI did,\u201d Bean said. \u201cI told them, \u2018Let me just try something when you say, \u2018Action.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

On the director\u2019s cue, Bean flinched as if struck by an arrow.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd they all went, \u2018Wow, that\u2019s amazing!\u2019\u201d he recalled with a laugh.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
