Lord of the Rings Star Has a Soft Spot
We all remember different things from LOTR that left the biggest impression on us, and for some, those were the horses. After all, who could forget their majestic beauty? Horses are said to be intense creatures who are emotionally intelligent and can read a person’s body language. They need just as much care and attention as the actors and stuntmen (or women) who are riding them!
That’s why we aren’t surprised to learn that a stunt rider might have a hard time parting with their horse, especially in the case of this movie. That’s exactly what happened – a stunt rider fell in love with “her” horse and wanted to buy him when the movie’s production was over, sadly, she but couldn’t afford him. Viggo Mortensen, the actor who plays the role of Aragorn, felt bad about this and decided to buy the horse for her.
