Reason #6,391 to Love Viggo Mortensen

He doesn't just wave to his fans or sign autographs, he leans into it with a huge genuine grin. 

Viggo with fans in Venice (you can see they attracted him with that sign... wonder what it says?) at the premiere of A Dangerous Method

I was lamenting on Twitter earlier that I can't imagine TIFF being as exciting as Venice this year. Perhaps it was the mad desire to welcome prestige movie season in but doesn't it feel explosively exciting right about now? So much possibility. So many beloved faces. So many movie stars that aren't wearing spandex in front of a green screen.

I can aswer about the sign! I was there, second row :) it was made by the four girls in the front line, with a little "reference" to the title of the movie: "Keira, Michael & Viggo we are DANGEROUSLY in love with you". Nothing original, but it did the trick.
Needless to say, Viggo was exquisite.

[ehm, "dangerously crazy for you", I didn't remember correctly... must still be in a Viggo/Michael haze ;) ]

Speaking of what one's wearing...my absolutely favourite thing about Viggo is that, every time he attends TIFF, he takes great pleasure in wearing Montréal Canadiens T-shirts...it bugs the Torontonians no end. (He grew up partly in upstate New York, where he watched Canadiens games on TV, and became a big fan.)
