I was wondering... Perhaps I was just projecting this on the Man Actor who
played Aragorn... but there is a definate scar line on his 'tasche!

Am I correct?... Does he have a Cleft Palate and Hare Lip?

I have a personal interest in whether he does or not... anyone know?

PV.

His biography doesn't say, but in the main pic on this page ...

http://specialrealms.com/VM/biography.html

... he does seem to have a noticeable scar.

Oh please....The Man of My Dreams has no such thing. I have the LOTR movie
poster with a nice big pic of him and Viggo does not have a cleft palate. It
is a scar but does not look like the type to be a hare lip. I also have a
scar on my lip from a car accident I had several years ago.

I seem to recall Peter Jackson saying that Mortensen got one of his
teeth knocked out with a sword while making the movie. Maybe the scar is
fresh, and covered over in makeup.

False alarm.. I checked out some prior roles... no scar!

Bummer.

(But Jaquin Pheonix does!)

Oh *Please*!?

My man doesn't have any such *thing*!?

...Do you mind if I take personal offence!?

I have one myself. Thats why I noticed that scar... and the obvious hare lip
of the guy who tore my ticket stub as I entered the theatre to see the film
for the first time! :o)

Yeah... Cheers Norseman!... Clearer Pictures on this site...

There definately *is* a scar... and some other images of his facial shape
seems to hint towards some of the operations I've had (though it is
doubtless he is much better looking than I am)... It's actually a hard one
to call seeing this image!!!!

Wow!... How Cool and Weird!... this requires further investigation!

I know that Juaquin Pheonix (sp?) has a hare lip.. and thats really
interesting because he's overcome it so well!... what a ballsy actor!

Having downloaded the main image on that page and looked closer at it... I
don't think it's a hare lip.... The Scar is too clean.

and his lips are shaped too well... the scar obviously came later in life,
on an otherwise perfect face.

Ah well... interesting anyway.

Well the films *have* been in production for some time... its *possible*...
but I think that he *may* have mentioned the huge gash on Mortensens uppper
lip as well!

Altogether probable explanation though. :o)

www.skinema.com, in its LOTR dermatological review, discusses the scar.

In an interview I came across somewhere on the web, Viggo explains his scar.
Apparently it's the result of a youthful drinking accident wherein his lip
met some barbed wire. He mentions he was so drunk he didn't need
anaesthetic! LOL

I would tend to think that she'd be a little biased. Unless she's marrying
you for the money! ;-)
