Viggo Mortensen’s Girlfriend
Viggo Mortensen’s girlfriend is a mystery. Showbiz insiders have been asking him who’s the lucky girl he’s dating but he remains silent about it. He just gives them that signature sexy smile and then he gets away with it.
There are some rumors though that his girlfriend is Ariadna Gil, a famous Spanish actress who was seen in the movie Belle Epoque. Viggo Mortensen is seen with her in Spain but the couple is elusive. They keep us guessing.
Well, then that would mean he sleeps with his friend’s wife! But hey, anything goes in Hollywood
She is no longer married to her husband..so maybe they are, he gets her parts in his films….but who knows I hope he has better taste…..
great couple.
I LOVE VIGGO HE WAS HOT N TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE I FORGET WHICH 1 PUT WEN I SEE HIS NAME UNDER CAST IT DOESNT MATTER WAT TIME IT IS I WILL STAY UP 2 WATCH IT AND I HAVE G I JANE ON DVD HE WAS HOT ON THERE 2
i think he’s seeking simple, sweet,thin,easy going girl. it’s difficult
maybe that’s why he’s single.
I have had several chance passings with Viggo and I believe one day when he and I meet and speak, that will be the end for both of us. We are soul mates…ha..ha
I can not believe! She is TOO UGLY for him!!!!!!!
But they only announced last week that she was ending her marriage — she is not divorced yet — so that means then they were having an affair all of this time. That is why he put her in his movie Appaloosa. But this is no big surprise. Hollywood stars always puts their own in their movies and then complains that the government does this. But isn’t it the same thing? If you give away roles to your lovers, children or any other family member, then you took away the role from another who could have gotten it.
Ariadna Gil is not legally divorced yet. I understood the news broke that she and her husband David Trueba were just separated. [ The Dec. edition of Elle {Spain} magazine has an interview with Mrs.Trueba. She states in it about how well she gets along working with her brother- in -law [ a director ] and her husband. Bad timing for this article. ] I thought this interesting… A poster on a Spanish message board made this comment regarding the Trueba’s – they were a private, quiet, unobtrusive couple whom one never heard anything about. No one probably would have known they were even separated if it weren’t for her association with Mr.Mortensen.
Mary Davis. Appaloosa was/is not Mr.Mortensen’s movie. It is Ed Harris’ movie. He was the screenplay author, star and director of the production. I wonder if Ms.Gil receiving her small part in this movie was a ‘required’ contingency from Mr.Mortensen in order for him to take the role?
Until it is “proven” without a shadow of doubt; I will give Ms.Gil/Mr.Mortensen the benefit of the doubt. Even if they are/were not involved it does not change the fact another marriage is breaking up. Who I feel sorrowful for? Her 12 year old daughter and 5 year old son.
You can not believe everything you read or even hear about “Stars”.. Get real.
Sorry folks. He’s gay.
Ain’t that always the way it is. Some foxy guy a girl loves to dream about and he’s gay. Sucks, doesn’t it?
JuMoney
How do you know he is gay?
I think he is very sexy and talented man.In my point of view his girlfriend is not too beautiful,but they are sweet together. By te way the physical appareance is not everything.I do not believe that he is gay.It is ridiculous. have a good day! Bye
I velieve they have been cheating and having an affair – poor David and the two kids……I think Viggo got her into that Ed Harris movie and I believe that Viggo has got her a part in a Danish movie…I think he will get her into English/Hollywood movies too….she isn’t famous outside the Spanish movie world….her husband/brother in law have been the hand that fed her giving her 80% or so of her jobs…I guess now she looks to Vigoo to be the hand that feeds her. They were due to do a play together in Spain, she pulled out because she has decided to spilt with David – even though she must have been cheating on him for a year or so, and then Viggo pulled out claiming his mother is ill – but he was seen in Canada with Ariadna and then in the USA and then in Iceland….so much for his mother being ill……all very odd….I do want to see more pictures of them though…..
I know they were in Iceland, but I have not seen a single article about them in the US or Canada on the Web. Where does this information come from and is it reliable? I have only heard about it in posts.
Viggo in Croatia. Zagreb. Eating at restaurant. Show photos on internet him and two womens. No see their face. Danish movie making has Appaloosa girl in it. Ariadan. I no think she speak Dane. Why a Spanish woman in movie from Denmark country.
Oh but in the picture you can see the one lady has short hair and I think is very much Ariadna – she smokes too and the article mentions that they all smoke. No she does not speak Danish ( I don’t think) but I guess that doesn’t matter…..I think she will show up in many things with a Viggo connection and maybe even in his movies and through his publishing company, which I no longer buy from. I think they have been cheating. I do not think he is gay, but I think she is after real fame and more money.
@ Jackie M
the sighting of viggo in canada said only that viggo was seen in a store with a female companion and there aren’t any sightings in usa. that is something someone has made up to make people think ari was in the usa. viggo was in new york looking after his mom and wasn’t seen with a woman. ari is one of the women in the picture in croatia but according to a translation on one of the viggo boards viggo also spoke to a croatian actor at the restaurant and one of the other actors in the movie is a croatian so there were probably other cast members eating there.
there is one person pretending to be different people posting a lot of the really bad comments all over the internet about viggo and ariadna and responding lots of times using different names on spanish media sites and spanish gossip sites. it is so obvious but she is getting away with it at the moment. adam is her pretending to be a man but lots of people know who she is and she won’t get away with it for ever.
One person? I don’t think one person could do all of this. I think that what might be happening is that since Viggo Mortensen travels to all different countries, the people from those countries are posting what they see. Like him in Iceland or Canada and now Croatia. I feel that if it is not true, either one of them should speak up and publicly denounce it. There is no privacy when you choose to be an actor and you need to take the bitter with the sweet. If you want fame and fortune, then you will also have to take the fans on. After all, it is the fans that give you your paycheck. You owe them something. You didn’t mind uyour fans when you are promoting your movies so that they are coerced into seeing them. They are the ones who keep or not keep you a star. Their is some responsibilty here that should be taken on the part of the actors.
And also, it does look sort of suspicious that you tell everyone you are dropping out of a play in Spain because of a seriously ill mother, but yet wind up traveling to all different countries and then POSSIBLY being spotted with this woman, who also dropped out of the same play that her husband or his family (?) was involved in with the production. Of course, people are going to say it is because Ariadna cheated on her husband with Viggo and they were both thrown off the play. Is her husband saying anything publicly? And yes it is also strange that they are both in Croatia getting ready to film. THAT certainly is no coincidence. It is not like they are filming in a very famous place for films — like New York or Los Angeles — but Croatia?? What are the odds?
WHO CARES!!??? Yes, it is obviously her in the picture. Yes, she cheated on her husband. Yes, Viggo is a homewrecker.
WHO CARES??!!
Hollywood is ridiculously filled with liars, cheats, whores (both men and women) and just psychologically damaged people. It seems to be the only types who enter that career. If these people were your co-workers or neighbors in real life, you wouldn’t even give them the time of day. Why, oh why, because they make movies are they are glorified and spoken about as if people know them personally? I mean for chrisssakes, Angelina Jolie is our global representative for peace? Jennifer Aniston, Cameron Diaz. Oprah, Paris Hilton and Viggo Mortensen tell us who to vote for?? I for one would love to see Hollywood disappear. Maybe then we can make intelligent decisions regarding our lives based on OUR OWN LIVES?? And stop listening to these ill-bred Hollywood idiots for our life choices? Geez.
I think Ariadna Gil is trying to stay out of Spain and keep a low profile because of what is happening with Viggo. I think Viggo is helping her get work, in order to keep her out of Spain and help her keep a low profile…..he sure did manage to get in loads of overseas trips while he was suppossed to be in Clayton, NY looking after his ill mother…so I think he did lie, both of them. They are as bad as each other.
As for one person doing all the messages, I think perhaps people have just realised his actions have gone against his words and his words are meaningless. Perhaps more fans than you realise have moral and ethical views when it comes to relationships, infidality, respect for others and especially children etc and they are standing by their views and morals and not simply favouring Viggo because he is rich and famous…many Viggo fans will change their views and attitudes to stay in tune with what they think Viggo would want so that he is always in favour with them.
I no longer give them the benefit of the doubt. I am eating a bite of crow. That would be San Lorenzo de Amalgro cuervo.
Thank you Helena for your reply. Sums up perfectly how I feel about the situation.
I think they have been having an affair for a while (several years) and being that Ariadna came out of the play so suddenly I think perhaps that her husband discovered the truth, she has sent packing, David has the children (11 yrs & 5yrs). I think Viggo knows very well what he has done, but I think he has the Hollywood attitude he can do what he likes, he has clearly given no thought to the children, or shown respect to David Trueba. I am shocked that given everything Viggo has always said, that he has does this. He has lost all my respect and support. I stand by my ethics and morals and not by an actor. I think Viggo’s behaviour has been awful, disrespectful, distastful and disgusting. Whatever happens between then will happen, but part of me hopes it goes sour and Ariadna can see Viggo’s other side – the side that Josie D’Arby saw. I also think it will look sad, desperate and pathetic when Ariadna only shows up in things with a Viggo connection (Danish movies etc or in smaller roles in his films like Appalossa)…..I think she will do very well career/money wise out of Viggo – I only wonder what he is getting from it. Sadly I don’t like him any more, he is NOT the kind of man he claims to be…….I think the fans know it too, but many are instead just re-living the older, nicer Viggo they remember and want to remember and are ignoring what is going on, but sooner or later as Viggo and Ariadna make it more obvious the fans won’t be able to deny what is going on and has been for sometime. Viggo no longer gets my money, respect or anything.
@Helena Can you elaborate on what you meant about Josie D’Arby and Viggo?
Helena:
Although I agree with most of your post, you seem to be putting most of the responsibility for this on Viggo. I am not trying to defend him because if all this is indeed true then he does have responsibility for it, but at the same time, he was not the one who is married, with small children at home. I think more of the fault goes to the person that was unfaithful to their spouse. Single people have been hitting on married people forever. It is the responsibility of the married person to say no. Again the other person has blame also, but in my opinion the married person more. I know some of you will not agree, but I welcome discussion.
I will discuss it with you Lizzie. It is my opinion they are both equally responsible. It takes two to tango. It is possible that she came onto him. Sometimes a single man chooses a married woman as there will less likely be the issue of a permanent commitment.
Anybody thought that perhaps Viggo never intended for this affair to reach the level it did? He did not want her to leave her husband. ( I’m not taking up for him.) Maybe his intention all along was to move to Madrid just to be near her and be able to star in that play with her along with getting her other movie roles in productions outside of Spain. Her husband found out and the whole situation blew up in both of their faces.Rightfully so I might add.
Those pictures of them taken in December in Madrid, he doesn’t seem to be upset at being photographed, he just does not look happy. The Zagreb, Croatia photo, the man does not look happy,not at peace. For a man who values his private life; when did Viggo Mortensen begin issuing press releases regarding his whereabouts on a vacation? (sounds like that came from her publicist camp.)
I hope I am proven wrong. Again. I predict this relationship will not last. I believe Viggo Mortensen will rue the day he met her and regret his association with Ariadna Gil.
I think both are in the wrong (very wrong) but I think for me – when I read Viggo interviews – he always implied he would never be the type of person to break a relationship or go after someone unavailable (especially if there were small children involved) because it “just wasn’t him” as he had “so much respect for people and marriage” etc….I think – again from my point of view – the “my mother is ill I need to be by her side at this time” and then he skips off to Canada, Iceland and Croatia and has now signed up to TWO films one after the other…suggests his mother wasn’t “so ill” just perhaps old……as for the Josie D’arby, I have always believed he spent the weekend with her in a french hotel and that he denied it publicly even saying “I never saw her after London” and yet the pictures were of him and her (she was right behind him, heading in the same direction into the car – not walking past as fans have claimed) in Paris right outside the hotel….he lied so plainly and no one picked him up on the pictures…..I think he is showing some true colours, he is a man who blows his own trumpet a lot. I don’t think it will last but I think Ariadna will get a lot of contacts and jobs from him and it will boost her fame and money…..heavens know what he will get from it – a headache? I doubt she will come out against him or be nasty….but I could imagine he denying everything! But for now I think she will be his shadow, turning up in his films or in films with a strong Viggo connection…..it all seems very sad to me and I think fame and money has changed Viggo greatly to the negative…that I find sad also. But I guess for now with both their deceit and lies and greed to some extent – they suit each other.

I agree with you. I never thought of it that way. We don’t know these people personally, so all this is speculation, but what we do know of VM is that he travels a great deal and does not seem to be in one place more than a few weeks. This does not seem to be the best person for a serious committed relationship with someone that has small children to raise. He always seems like such a free spirit it seems strange to think of him dealing with step kids, in-laws, the kid’s father and living in one place. But of course I don’t know him and could be totally wrong. One thing I do believe (and some might disagree) is that there is no way that AG is the only one. If he is in LA or NY and sees someone he wants I think he will go for it. If you are someone that sees nothing wrong with infidelity than you will do it again. What goes around will always come around. She will get some movie roles out of him though. These are just my thoughts.
I saw the video of him honoring Dennis Hopper. Viggo was still wearing the heart pin on his label that he gave to Ariadna’s character in Appaloosa. Why does he wear it? And wear it still? That movie was years ago. What significance could it possibly have other than he is letting Ariadna know he is thinking about her when they are apart. And now he is in Argentina today. What happened to his ill mother? That makes four different countries he has been spotted in since he told the media he had to drop out of the play in Spain because of a seriously ill mother. And now it is proven that he has lied about being at his mother’s side because obviously he is NOT at his mother’s side. So why wouldn’t he cheat as well?
Ladyjones-It’s strange that he would be loyal to her under the circumstances. I have to agree with most of you on here. I am sadly disillusioned about this man. I looked up to him because of who I thought he was, but I always harbored this suspicion that he may be a little too good to be true. Always trust your gut. I now know why he has always been so adamant about keeping his “private life private”. His actions don’t fit with his public image and now he’s losing fans. He could always afford to be picky about his movies because he knew we fans would follow. He’ll have to play the Hollywood game now and go for more mainstream work to keep working. Maybe that’s what AG hoped for. Who knows. It’s always interesting to watch someone fall from grace, although in this case it seems so very very sad. I have to be honest, when I see someone act so holy and righteous in public while doing this behind closed doors, I don’t care to see them be happy.
As a last thought on this, celebrities, politicians, anyone in the public eye always try to deny their affairs which so often turn out to be true. Where there’s smoke there’s fire, and if you don’t want everyone to be looking in the direction of your inferno, don’t get into a profession where your job depends on getting people’s attention.
Viggo is a camelion, one minute here, the next minute there
we never know or see his true color. Think he is for sure with AG as for the past few years, he has gone from his perceval page writing sweet verse of poetry to writing pages of spanish, which we no speak or read, guess who else understands this AG No word on hearing AG being around in Hildago territory, Viggo’s North Idaho home
That is a place I can’t picture her living in ever However, I do think they are together, Vig going back and forth Spain to S. America etc all the time, you do the math I don’t think they will last, he is too complex for such class
Ladyjones and MJ, I agree with what you have said except for the heart pin. I have read so much about this pin. I heard that VM was given this pin by an artist during the filming of Good. He often wears pins, bracelets and necklaces. Many of his lapel pins are also San Lorenzo pins. I think he might have thought the heart was more appropriate for Dennis’s tribute than a soccer pin. I just find it hard to believe that a middle aged man in his fifties is fooling around with lapel pins and sending secret love messages to his middle aged girlfriend. Some nuts on the other boards that absolutely worship his every move also believe he uses Perceval Press to send AG secret messages in his posts. They try to pick apart every line and poem as some kind of secret signal between the two of them. This seems like something teens would do, not these two. They must lie in bed, read this stuff about their secret messages and explode with laughter. Besides he longer needs to sneak around anymore now that she is separated. I have also heard that VM brings in some of his own props to the movie sets. That is probably were the heart came from. Just my thought, feel free to disagree.
the heart pin is one of several given to the whole cast and crew of Good by the producer, miriam segal. when he wore it to the dennis hopper event i think he wore it for dennis not ariadna. when he wore it in new york and hungary for Good and to the road premiere at the london film festival i think he wore it for miriam because she was at all those events. he didn’t wear it to the bafta event the night after the road premiere. what does that say? did he argue with ariadna on the phone and not wear it because they weren’t speaking? other times he wears it because he thinks it appropriate for those times. he used it as a prop on appaloosa but people who want him to have a thing with ariadna want to read more into it than there really is and they keep trying to convince everyone else.
i keep reading comments from people telling us he wears it because he is in love with ariadna.. when did he tell those people that. are they all on a list of people who he makes sure to tell what is going on in his private life. i think not. the pro-ariadna group are just trying to make everyone believe it because it is what they want for him but not necessarily what is fact.
i think he and ariadna are very close friends and that he may have helped her after she got the danish movie part which i think was the real reason she pulled out of the play. it was reported that she had schedulling problems and that was the reason for her pulling out. i don’t think he has the clout to get her very much work in hollywood anyway. he really ain’t that big a big name in hollywood and most directors would tell him to get lost if he tried to get ariadna parts.
ZsuZsa:
Does this mean you think they are just very good friends and her marriage broke up on its own? I don’t believe we ever really found out the truth of who that was in Iceland. I never read that it was definitely AG and we don’t know about Canada. But that was her in Croatia. Why do you think they just don’t come out and deny it? They are getting some bad press in Spain. If it is not true, VM has denied his relationships with Josie D’Arby and Christina Rosenvinge, so it is something he has done before. I think it is the silence that causes people to speculate that it is true. You are right that a lot of fans on the other sites want VM and AG together for some reason. They think it is all so wonderful even if it broke up her marriage. They never speak about her kids, just how wonderful love is! I think they are absolutely out of their minds. The person Viggo is with might be someone we don’t even know. The press by the way is now starting up the romance with Christina Rosenvinge again. They are saying that they are together even though she denies it; others say it is a cover up for AG. She is in Argentina for a concert the same time he is there for the San Lorenzo Chapel dedication. I welcome your thoughts ZsuZsa or anyone else.
By the way he is wearing the heart pin again (in Argentina) and they are all soooo happy. But he has on the same suit as LA and probably just never removed it or had it cleaned!
Thanks for your clarification Helena, but the more I read about V’s personal life the more I’m confused about him. I’ve been a fan of his for years and years and if recent gossip is to be believed, I am led to think he’s a philandering calculating homewrecker?
I think i’ll leave the speculation to others and continue to enjoy Viggo’s work.
@ Lizzie H
it means i am intelligent enough not to let a few pictures and sightings and nonsense over a pin that was given to him by someone completely different to the woman that people assume he is wearing it for cloud my judgement and until it is known as fact whether they are a couple or not I choose to keep an open mind about it.
viggo never named christina in any denial. he made a general reference to how he has to explain to his family and friends that no he isn’t with a person when they read something in a gossip column. christina is the one who denied it and only when she was asked by a reporter as she arrived for a concert in madrid. she shook her head, smiled and said no. viggo had let the story run on and if christina hadn’t been asked outright then she would have too. has it occured to anyone that at the time viggo made his general statement his name had also been linked to ariadna for many years and so he could have been referring to one or both women with that statement. the silence from viggo about the ariadna story is probably because if ariadna and david have split then it is their story to tell and up to them to make an annoucement which they might be waiting to do after she has finished filming or they might never do. they are/were a very private couple and may want to deal with it privately. it is david and ariadna’s marriage that is supposed to be in trouble and it isn’t viggo’s place to say anything until either david or ariadna or both let it be known in public. maybe they haven’t said anything because it is a trial separation. has anyone even considered that possibility?
no-one knows exactly who was in iceland only that it wasn’t just viggo and a supposed girlfriend. it might have been ariadna but i don’t think it automatically means a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship but the people who would like it to be true will make a case for it being the only possible explanation. if it was a romantic holiday then why go as a group?
viggo was also in zagreb but was also then seen in vienna two days later. the day he was seen in zagreb was the first day of the shoot. it is possible that he was in europe to do some research for the cronenberg movie and just went to zagreb while he was there to offer his support to ariadna at the start of the shoot. according to sources there were other actors from the movie in the restaurant that same night and viggo spoke to at least one of them so it was by no means a romantic dinner for two and we have no proof that they shared a hotel room either in iceland or zagreb.
the madrid pictures are also being made out to be more than they are. why did viggo have his mac-book with him to go out to buy a morning paper with ariadna and why did he arrive with a suitcase two days later with ariadna carrying a morning paper when he was on his way back to the states to spend time with his mother. obviously he wasn’t staying with her or he would have been leaving her house with a suitcase that day instead of arriving with one. he was probably on his way to the airport and she had maybe offered to take him there so he arrived at her house with the suitcase from his own apartment which he has owned for a long time ready for her to take him to the airport. but people who want it to be more will not see the obvious explanation and will want to make more of it and also make you believe there is more to it.
i know he is wearing the heart pin in argentina. did it occur to anyone that maybe he is wearing it to show his love and appreciation for san lorenzo? has it ever occured to anyone that when viggo told someone the heart pin represented love that he meant love in general and not love for just one person. when he wore it for some of the road promotions he was talking at press conferences about that being about a love story between the man and the boy. when he wore it for good promotions he wore it for miriam and when he wore it for appaloosa he wore it because the story was about the deep friendship and love between the two friends. but i guess if someone wants to perpetuate stories about viggo and ariadna, it is convenient to use the heart pin as proof just because his character gave it to her character in the movie. so on the times when he doesn’t wear it and wears a different pin does that mean they have had an argument and aren’t talking? if so then they must have had an awful lot of arguments because over the past eighteen months he has worn his san lorenzo pin more than he has worn the heart pin but people only comment when he does wear it and ignore the times when he doesn’t.
like i said, i am keeping a very open mind and wil probably be one of the few people who wouldn’t be surprised if it all turns out to be untrue.
ZsuZsa, I really enjoy your posts. You present a informed perspective. Thanks for your imput. I guess time will tell if any of this is true.
No, I read on one of his die-hard fanatical websites that that is the pin he gave to Ariadna in the movie “Appaloosa”, not from the movie “Good”. You even see his character giving her character the heart pin in the movie “Appaloosa”. So that is proof that that is where the pin comes from. Why would you argue with what your eyes see in black and white? That makes no sense.
And he has proven that he is not by his mother’s side because guess what? HE IS NOT BY HIS MOTHER’S SIDE!! He is jumping all around the globe and has signed on for another movie already. Again, this is FACT, not speculation. So why did he lie about the spanish play?
And if he is not with Ariadna, then he has been without a girlfriend for years now. Because no matter how hard any actor tries to keep their relationships private, the reporters ALWAYS find out. If he has been with her for the past three years, then he has been celibate all these years because he would have been spotted with someone. We all knew about his previous girlfriend Lola Schnabel. He would not talk publicly about her either (probably because she was half his age!), but there were photos of them all over the place. You cannot hide a relationship in Hollywood, especially globally, someone always has a camera or knows someone who knows someone and it all gets out anyway.
I meant to say “if he has NOT been with her for the past three years, then he has been calibate….”
And serously, spanish love poems always being posted on his website?
@ ladyjones
yes hitch gave the heart to katie in appaloosa but it was the pin given to all the cast of good by miriam segal. the site on which you read that it was not from good are wrong. jason issacs told the story when he was promoting. he has one too as do the entire cast and crew. it was given to viggo by miriam and then viggo used it in appaloosa which was made after good. i heard jason tell the story in person and then it was printed in an article later so that site are wrong.
i don’t need my eyes to tell me because jason issacs already did and it was a token from miriam.
I feel the need to repost this.
As a last thought on this, celebrities, politicians, anyone in the public eye always try to deny their affairs which so often turn out to be true. Where there’s smoke there’s fire, and if you don’t want everyone to be looking in the direction of your inferno, don’t get into a profession where your job depends on getting people’s attention.
Ladyjones, it is true that we have not seen Viggo with many women in public over the years. Since his divorce from Exene in the 1990’s, there was Lola in 2002 and only Ariadna and Christina in 2009-2010 and Christina has denied it. He has only been seen out with Ariadna Gil and never anyone in the USA. I think this is the reason for the gay rumors that have been circulating in Hollywood for years. But I don’t believe those rumors. I think the reason we have heard of these women is because they are somewhat famous. He could very well be dating women in the art world and in the management end of movie making that are not famous and that no one recognizes. He also stays away from Los Angeles these days and places were the paparazzi would hang out. He also seems to go out in groups to throw the gossips off track. The last thing I think he is would be celibate. I personally believe he has been with AG all these years, but not just her. I have said this before, I think if he is outside of Spain and sees someone he wants he will go for it. Just my thoughts.
Viggo is named in break up of David and Ariadna. She cut her hair so she could not do play and Viggo say he not do play he say he mother ill but I think not. I think they know what goes on and plan this.
I don’t belive for a minute that just because we haven’t seen/heard of a woman in Viggo’s life over the past years, there haven’t been any….we know Josie D’aby was a weekend job…how many others have simply been one nighters……again people are assuming he doesn’t do one night stands….which is why they are assuming he wouldn’t break up a relationship/marriage…but I think we are all wrong, I think he does do one night stands…..
I don’t belive he is or has dated Christina Roseinvinge (sp?) I don’t think he likes blondes….but he may have “used” her to get used to two children ages 10 and 5 when Ariadna’s are 12 and 4 or whatever…..Ariadna is working on the film that Viggo got her a part in hence she wasn’t in Argentina. She was in Canada and Iceland simply because the filming hadn’t started at that time……I think she will shadow Viggo only when she isn’t working on films he has found her! Or she will turn up in his films, or he will publish a book by her or something…..I think there is still a lot more to be played out with Viggo and Ariadna – they will never say anything to anyone publicly…..but I believe they are together for sure….. feel and think it is very sad for him. As someone else said the fans seem to think Viggo and Ariadna go together well but they forget about her children….it is not simply about the two of them – there are far more people invovled……I don’t think either have been honest or are being honest……it’s sad.
ZsuZsa, I know you believe there is a possibility that they are just good friends, but for the rest of you guys, what do you think the odds are of AG actually getting him to the alter one day after her divorce is final? I would be the jackpot for her. What do you think? Or is he finished with marriage?
@ Lizzie H
all i said was i choose to keep an open mind about it and that i think people read too much into isolated incidents. for instance, you say she was in canada with him. i saw the blog on which that was originally posted. all it said was that viggo mortensen was spotted shopping with a female companion. it is just across the border from where his mother lives. it could have been ariadna but equally, it could have been a family member or a friend. he has many friends in canada from his youth. where did anyone say it was actually ariadna? people jump to conclusions without all the facts.
@ Mus
where does it say anywhere that viggo has been named other than on gossip sites and fan sites? have you seen a divorce petition naming viggo as co-respondent? if not, then you are basing that asumption on what you have read on the internet rumor-mill.
@ JennyJ
i don’t believe for a moment that he would have used christina. they go back as friends to the mid-nineties and he is god-father to one of her children. he might sink low but not that low. he doesn’t have as many scruples as some might think but i doubt he would use his god-son or his good friend.
people, you all need to keep an open mind and see how it plays out for sure. there may be something in the rumors or there may not but at this stage everyone is jumping on the bandwagon and jumping to conclusions often based on conclusions that others have reached.
Lizzie H.,
I don’t think he is finished with marriage. I just don’t see him marrying Ariadna Gil. If they have been carrying on an affair for a long time [as many of us suspect] before she separated from her husband; this relationship has consisted of here and there trysts and a lot of sneaking around. How can you really know a person until you live with them day in day out for at least 3 to 6 months? I think this supposed ‘chemistry attraction’ these two have is just that – physical only and a shared profession. Viggo Mortensen in an interview once talked about how falling in love with a co-star (He was referring to the Exene relationship) was a lot like being on drugs and after you’ve come down off of the high that is when the true reality of your relationship sets in. These two might well find out they really share little in common. I just can’t picture Ariadna living in a remote Idaho location, attending San Lorenzo soccer games nor going fly fishing. These activities seem to be quite important to him.
Zsuzsa,
” he doesn’t seem to have as many scruples as some might think. ” I’ve got a few ideas of my own about why I think he is unscrupulous. [nothing to do with Ariadna] What makes you think this of him?
@ Lizie H
i didn’t say completely unscrupulous, just not with as many scruples as people might like to think and unfortunately i am not at liberty to say why.
my previous comment should have been @ Veronica not LizzieH
Thanks Zsuzsa for your reply. ‘Not at liberty to say why’….Interesting.
@Veronica and ZsuZsa:
Come on guys; spill the beans about the scruples. We won’t tell anyone. ………Only kidding!
Veronica, I think they would probably live in Madrid most of the time. He seems to be there a lot more than Idaho or LA. I do not think that would be a deterrent. Plus she has young children. Unless she decides to give up everything for VM (which is possible) then she would need to live in Spain when not filming. If you are married or in a committed relationship, it cannot survive on a few vacations, you need to live together.
If these rumors are true and she left her marriage of 15 or so years for VM, she must have gotten some kind of commitment or security from him. Unless she is absolutely nuts a woman would not walk out on a marriage (and do that to her children) for a man that lives out of a suitcase and is never in one place for more than a few weeks. She must have a commitment from him to at least live together with a possible marriage in the future. I am sure with all she has to gain from VM that she is already in love with San Lorenzo and will learn to fly fish real soon. I think he is crazy to get involved in a mess like this when there are so many wonderful women in this world that he can have. A faithful one for instance, but the heart wants what it wants. This of course is all speculation, I do not know if any of it is true.
Veronica,
I agree with you.
Lizzie,
I think there may have been other problems with David and AG, and this helped her make a final out.
I do not see this relationship lasting. There’s just something about seeing the two of them together that dosen’t seem right. They don’t seem to fit. My gut says they aren’t right for each other. Also, I have heard many things over the years from reliable sources that indicate that Viggo has a pattern of going for women already in relationships, including non-famous ones. Maybe it’s a fear of commitment, maybe it’s an ego boost to steal women away. All in all, this is the straw that breaks the back for me. I’ve heard enough. I finally have to accept what he really is.
MJ, you could be right. It has been suggested that maybe VM liked the previous arrangement and did not want her to leave her husband. It has also been said that she did not leave the marriage, but that David found out about the affair and he left her. I have heard this quite a bit from the Spanish sites. We really do not know the truth. But I can’t see a woman give up so much unless she has a commitment from the other man. Unless the rich and famous do not need security and commitment like the rest of us? Who knows?
Goodness I hope they don’t get married – as long as Viggo is supplying her with any jobs – the relationship is wrong. As so many others have said – they just don’t seem right for each other and I can’t help notice that any pictures we have seen of Viggo since Christmas he has looked as rough as hell, awful, I have never seen him look so bad…..which suggests something isn’t right……
I hope he actually knows what he is doing…..because for now it does look like he is simply getting Ariadna jobs….what is this payment in kind for sexual favours?!!!!! lol
@ lizzie h
I disagree with you about marriage. If AG was married that long, she might not want to get married anytime soon. She might just want to promote her career and have a good time. As long as VM gets her jobs and contacts she might not care what he does or that he is a rootless wanderer.
@Jackie
We will just have to wait and see what happens in the relationship
@ZsuZsa
I think VM does have clout in Hollywood, though not as much as others. He does have friends such as Ed Harris that would give a part to AG as we have seen before. I think David Cronenberg would give her a part if VM asked. It will be interesting to see if she pops up in Eastern Promises 2. Too bad she might take a part away from someone who really deserves it.
i don’t believe for a moment that david cronenberg would give ariadna a part just because viggo asked him to. the one thing you can say about david is that he has a vision and sticks with it. unless eastern promises 2 needs a spanish actress and unless david felt that she were the right person i don’t believe he would give a part to her just to keep viggo happy.
viggo is a small fish in a big pond when it comes to hollywood. he might have more clout when he is in the smaller, indie productions he seems to favour but i think he missed his chance to be big in hollywood and his career is on the wane now.
@ZsuZsa
I am sticking with my original opinion that a part just perfect for AG will be found in Eastern Promises 2. David and VM are close friends. I don’t think it will be a major part as Naomi Watts had in the original, but a lesser one. I don’t think it would cloud David’s vision if she is given a small role. As for being Spanish, actors change their accents all the time. But we must wait and see the movie. If I am wrong, I will be the first to admit it. Or should I say eat “cuervo.”
My my, you all certainly seem to have it out for Ariadna! Perhaps you do not know that she has been in the movie business as long as Viggo has been in it – over 20 years, since she was 17 years old. She has already done films in the U.S. and Argentina and Venezuela before she ever met Viggo Mortensen. She has a good international reputation as an actress.
As for Viggo getting her parts in movies – where is proof of this? According to the commentary on Appaloosa by Ed Harris, Ariadna had to audition for the part of Katie just like everyone else. She just happened to fit the description of the character who is a Spanish / Native American woman. Ed said that she and Viggo worked well together because they were “buddies” and had worked together before. But there were a lot of friends and family involved in Appaloosa because Ed had a very low budget and they needed to get cheap actors. Viggo had another friend in the cast of Appaloosa – Scott Wannaberg – a 40ish overweight man. Geez, maybe Viggo was having an affair with Scott too, until Scott got sick and had to leave. Or maybe what really happened is Scott left in a jealous rage over Arianda.
The Danish movie – just what connection does Viggo have to anyone on the production staff? Oh that’s right – Viggo has Danish relatives; therefore he has so much clout in Danish cinema that he can tell a director how to cast his movie! Did you know the script of this Danish movie is about a bunch of international travelers stuck in a hotel and they have to overcome cultural differences in order to survive. So yeah, it makes sense there is a Spaniard in a Danish movie.
Do any of you know Arianda Gil personally? Did you know she is described by other cast-mates as a very kind and generous person who will go out of her way to help people? Do you really know why her marriage is having problems? Perhaps David was cheating on Ariadna long before Viggo came along, then she meets this polite, handsome, kind actor who treats her with respect and affection and she realizes, “Hey, this is pretty nice!” I’ve seen pictures of Viggo and Arianda during the promotions of Alatriste and Appaloosa, and it seems clear to me that Viggo is very affectionate with Ariadna, while she is being more reserved. The way he looks at her – my God, what I would give to have a man look at me with such adoration! What woman wouldn’t be moved, and tempted, by such sweetness? Especially a woman who was in an unhappy marriage. It’s totally opposite of pictures I see of Ariadna with David Trueba – where they don’t even get close to one another or touch.
As for Viggo, I am a big fan of his work, and I do admire a lot of what he says and does, but I do not believe he is a morally perfect man. Exene was several months pregnant with Henry when they got married. There are documented accounts of Viggo “sharing a tent” with a woman in Poland while shooting the Gospel of Harry, and that was before his divorce from Exene in 1997. Of course they were separated for at least five years before they legally divorced. I certainly don’t believe Viggo is celibate just because he doesn’t have a “girlfriend”. He’s said in interviews that he’s fine not being married but he won’t rule it out. That pretty much tells me that he likes being single so he can be free to play the field. He shouldn’t be married if that’s the case.
As for Viggo and Ariadna having an affair – it’s highly possible. The woman who was his “girlfriend” in Iceland did have short dark hair and dark skin according to an eye witness who twittered about seeing them. Did it start before her separation from David Trueba? Show me proof, not gossip.
All I see in pictures of Viggo and Ariadna are two friends. There are no intimate displays of affection other than Viggo’s friendly affection that he shows to ALL his friends – including male friends. In fact, Viggo shows more romantic gestures to David Cronenberg than he has ever shown to Ariadna Gil! And DC is a married man. I don’t hear any gasps of gossip there.
Whatever is really happening between Viggo and Ariadna, I think Viggo has already commented on it when he said last December “My private life belongs to only me.” I don’t really agree with him, but that’s how he sees it, so why say more? Perhaps because there is a whole world of people who want to see and say the ugliest things they can about people they don’t even know. These people will treat him and his friends as objects to be ridiculed and judged, rather than people who have feelings, hurts and weaknesses. These people don’t care that there are children who will hear these accusations, and possibly be be teased and bullied because of them. These people don’t stop to think about what they would feel if faced with the same temptations and/or accusations.
I don’t put Viggo Mortensen on a pedestal, but I also don’t put him on a spit and roast him over a fire of criticism. What I will do is pray for him and Ariadna and stop to think “There but for the grace of God, go I.”
I know Viggo personally and live where he is right now. He is the nicest most sincere person who is a good friend to all of us in our small town. We know his family and that his devotion to them comes first and not to Hollywood and all of its gossip. He eats, shops, exercises with us, always takes time to ask how we are doing and what is going on in our lives. He is a member of all of our familys and maybe because we treat him with respect and don’t care what is going on in his personal life he chooses to stay in a town with “real people”
Thank you Stryder for giving us an honest view of Viggo. I have observed the same sincere person you have, only from a distance, and that is why I refuse to tear him apart with gossip.
I’m glad you mentioned about his family. Nothing steams me more than these people who say he lied about his mother’s illness to get out of doing a play. It would take a cold, heartless bastard to do such a thing, and that is definitely not Viggo. He may have his faults, but none that bad. What do these people want? Her obituary? Her medical records? Someone here said earlier “I can’t help notice that any pictures we have seen of Viggo since Christmas he has looked as rough as hell, awful, I have never seen him look so bad…..which suggests something isn’t right……” Geez, did you stop to think maybe he’s going through hell because his mom is seriously sick and maybe dying?!
As for his traveling all over the world, from what I know from a pretty reliable source, he didn’t go anywhere until late January, and then it was just an evening trip up to Montreal for a hockey game, only a couple hours drive away from his mom’s home in NY. For all we know, his mom could have said “Honest Son, I’m feeling better. Now get out of the house for a while before you drive me up a wall!” Maybe his brothers were able to come visit their mom and give Viggo some respite. Perhaps he was able to hire a live-in nurse to help her. YOU DON’T KNOW so stop talking like you do.
All we really have to go on is how Viggo presents himself to others, what friends and cast-mates say about him, and what he writes in his poetry. All that I have seen over the past few years is a polite, thoughtful, kind and generous person who is known throughout the movie industry as an extreme professional who gives his all to any project he works on. He does not profess to be perfect and holy. He’s been honest in interviews about his desires and dalliances – but as a gentleman he doesn’t give names. He’s on a journey like the rest of us, making mistakes and hopefully learning from them as he goes along.
If he’s had an affair with a married woman, I’d consider that a big mistake. I don’t condone his actions, but I don’t condemn him either. I’m not in a place to do so. None of us are, really. Think about it. Unless we can speak with him 1 on 1 and see his heart, we don’t have the right. Only God knows truly what is in Viggo’s heart.
Remember what Jesus said about the woman who was caught in adultery about to be stoned by a mob – “Let him who has no sin cast the first stone.” Everyone dropped their rocks because they knew they had their own sins. You’ve got ‘em too. So instead of spending your time picking on Viggo and Arianda, who you don’t even know, go examine your own lives to see how you can be better. Drop your rocks and leave Viggo and Ariadna to heaven.
@ lionheart
You said “My my, you all certainly seem to have it out for Ariadna!”
did you actually read any of my posts? i think not or you wouldn’t have included me in the “all”. i never made any remark that could be construed as criticism i just laid out some facts and told people that in my opiniion they were jumping to conclusions based on one sick persons efforts to spread the vitriol around the internet.
from one of my previous posts if you had taken the time and talen it in :-
“there is one person pretending to be different people posting a lot of the really bad comments all over the internet about viggo andariadna and responding lots of times using different names on spanish media sites and spanish gossip sites. it is so obvious but she is getting away with it at the moment. adam is her pretending to be a man but lots of people know who she is and she won’t get away with it for ever”.
you are free to comment and defend both ariadna and viggo but don’t give the impression that everyone who has commented here has the knives out for them. i gave a completely unbiased opinion as to who is perpetuating rumors and remarked that it is one person who is spreading the nastiness.
for what it is worth however, if there has been an affair then there is likely to be some backlash from the public whether you like it or not as both are public figures and the press love to delve into private lives and bash celebrities who are found to be less than perfect. what makes you think these two would come out of it completely unscathed whether they are nice people or not? when has a celebrity, politician, athlete, royalty or anyone else in the public eye ever got away with having an affair without comment or backlash. tiger woods as an example, prince charles was villified for his affair with camilla, bill clinton was impeached as i recall, and british soccer player john terry recently lost the captaincy of the english soccer team for cheating on his wife. what makes you think viggo and/or ariadna will be immune from the same treatment from some of the press and public?
I am a fan of viggo’s films and looking forward to the talking cure and ep 2. I come here sometimes to see what he is up to but I was totally unprepared for these posts. Why is everyone so crazed over viggo and this actress? You are praying for them? With all that is going on in this world you can’t think of anything else? It looks like he had an affair with a married woman and she left her husband. This story is as old as the hills. It happens every 5 minutes in Hollywood and Europe. So why pick on them. I am not trying to say it isn’t wrong, but we don’t live in perfect world. Celebrities are far from it. Sure if she was unhappy with her husband, she should have left him, and not cheat, especially if children are involved. But we should not care, because in the end we still have to get up and go to work and pay our bills. I choose to enjoy his films, read a little gossip here and there, but get on with my own life and not dwell on someone I don’t even know. I hope you all do the same. Leave this poor guy alone.
One last thing, children are affected by the actions of their parents. Don’t blame the people on the internet if their kids read something about them on the web. If you have children you have a responsibility to be a role model to them. You can’t blame others.
excuse me but the people who started this were the press who printed the pictures and wrote articles based on those pictures and who then posted them on the internet for comment. don’t blame people who then comment and give their own views on the subject. it is exactly what the gutter press wanted in the first place. they were the ones sneaking around outside ariadna’s home.
Thankyou Lionheart. Viggos mom is doing just fine. She’s a beautiful lady who has been a member of our community for a long time. People , especially those who are under 50, ( Iam 54) don’t yet realize that your priorities change as you age. Things that used to matter don’t anymore. We wake up one morning and feel our mortality and all of a sudden you realize what is really important to you. For most of us, Viggo included, the every day crap that we have allowed to rule our lives goes to the toilet. Our family members have aged and gotten ill and now we want to spend quality time taking care of them. You and I can do that and no one says a damn thing . But Viggo gets called a liar and chastised for wanting to take some down time and be with his family. He loves his family and they will always come first. That is what makes him a great human being. The rest of the should take a lesson from him.
Thanks Stryder for letting us know Viggo’s mom is doing better. I’ve been praying for her too, but there was no way to know how she was doing. I kinda figured she had improved since Viggo is going back to work. I’ve very glad to hear it.
Zsueza – I apologize for not mentioning you in my first post as seperate from the “you all”. I did notice your posts as standing out from the crowd with good information and an open mind. I do appreciate it. I’m sorry that you felt offended.
I got to admit I wrote my earlier posts in a gush of upset emotions. I stumbled upon this site unexpectedly while surfing the web during a bout of insomnia. I knew stuff was being said about the whole Ariadna thing, but I pretty much stayed away from it. While reading these posts it just hurt my heart to read the mean and ugly things that were being said – and so much of it unjustified and based on gossip.
I’ll be honest – I’ve struggled for a long time with feelings of disappointment, disillusionment, even anger at the thought that Viggo might have broken up Ariadna’s marriage with an adulterous affair. I care about this man because years ago I saw a goodness, humility and thoughtfulness in him that is very rare in Hollywood. I’ve watched him grow and blossom in his career and as a person. For many reasons, he stands out to me as a kindred spirit, so I’ve prayed for him (as I do for a lot of people), cheered him on, and yes, I’ve disagreed with him. There are times he really frustrates me with his seemingly one-sided opinions and I’ve written to him at Perceval Press and respectfully challenged him. Although he’s never directly responded to me, I’ve seen changes in him and perhaps I’ve gotten through to him. He has inspired and challenged me too, and my life has changed because of it.
But this whole “affair thing” is beyond political and philosophical issues. This is deeply personal and private. I am not his friend, so I can’t speak to him on this level. But it still hurts and I am concerned for him. I thought better of Viggo and this story does not seem to fit with what I know of him. How I wish I could look him in the eyes and ask “What is going on with you? I care and I’m concerned!” I don’t know if it would matter to Viggo. Perhaps I care beyond what is healthy, and that is where I’ve come to the conclusion that I had to let it go and leave it to God. God knows and loves Viggo (more than I ever could) even though Viggo doesn’t acknowledge it.
What I wrote earlier about Jesus telling the mob to drop their rocks – I just want to state – you don’t have to believe in Christianity – it’s wisdom for anyone regardless of religion. I’ve found more peace in my own life by dropping my rocks and focusing on where I need to change and grow.
I know the press wants to exploit this kind of stuff to sell their magazines and sites. They don’t care about who they write about, or if it hurts them and their fans. All they care about is money. But that doesn’t mean we have to give in to it. If we do, it just makes it worse. They are just a bunch of bullies. Why join in with them? As real people, we should be better than that. I challenge people here to think like compassionate, caring people rather than a money-hungry publicist. It may not be as “entertaining” as gossip, but I think you’ll feel better about life and people. Life is difficult enough as it is, why add to it with more negativity and tearing others apart.
Stryder – perhaps we know each other through the theatre then? That is how I know Grace. But I will say nothing of Viggo’s private life full stop. As a friend I wouldn’t do that.
@ ZsuZsa
Your opinions on this post are the only ones that seem to make sense. The only romantic pictures I see of V and A plastered all over the web are ones that are taken at movie premieres and promotions. There is a V and A YouTube video of romantic photos. Everyone is taken at a professional event, mostly from Appaloosa. They look at each other romantically, but they are actors and could quite possibly be doing this for the publicity. For his career, V needs to be seen with a women from time to time or the old gay rumors will start and A could use the publicity of being with a big star. That could be the reason David Trueba put up with it for years. We have no idea why their marriage really broke up.
As for the photos in Spain that everyone is so excited about it shows them driving in a car and him standing in front of her house near yellow garbage can. I do not see how that proves he spent the night. I know it was early, but he could have arrived from his apartment at that time. I would think that there would be restaurant photos or something personal in all this time that they are supposed to be together.
No one knows for sure who was in Iceland or Canada. I believe the only proof we have that it was A in Iceland is a post on Twitter of someone who described a women with short hair. Is Twitter so reliable? The internet is full of nuts. I could go on Twitter right now and say I was with George Clooney last night. How do you know if it is true or not. The only picture I believe is true and slightly suspicious is the one in Croatia. It does look like her hiding behind that other women. It is the only one that proves that they might have a relationship and he went there to see her, then again we don’t know. He could have stopped there on his way to Vienna for support. Maybe I am naïve but it seems like there is not enough proof. I think the heart pin is nonsense.
I don’t believe he left the play for A, I think he already knew about The Talking Cure in December. I am sure he and DC discussed the possibility of him taking over. This might have pushed him to opt out of the play. He likes to have a lot of time to prepare for a movie.
@Stryder and Alex
I also do not think we should be discussing VM’s mom on this site. It is not respectful. It has nothing to do with her whatsoever. Even if the posts say good things about her and her relationship with VM her health and their relationship is private. Just my opinions.
@Stryder and Alex
Just a clarification on my previous post, I know you guys meant no harm and said all really nice things about VM and his mother, but this is still a speculation site about celebrity girlfriends. Saying positive stuff about VM is fine. VM and AG chose a public life and knew full well what comes with it. Mrs. Mortensen has chosen a private life. Just my thoughts.
Wow,
I see the Viggonuts are out here full force. His mother is doing well? He is a nice family guy? “I live where he lives”??
You people crack me up. No one is buying your double posting crap. The man barely steps foot in America! He is here, there and everywhere. And now you say his mother is feeling better and that is why he is traveling? Please, we are not stupid here. Don’t pretend you are his neighbors and friends and know something here. Actions speak louder than words and his actions clearly speak for himself. There was no sick mother. From the day he made that comment, he has barely been in Ameria, let alone Idaho.
Oops! Typo. I of course meant “America”.
One more thing, I agree with Viggo in his own words that it is pretty creepy that his fans think they know him so well and follow him around. To say you know him and pray for him is pretty creepy indeed. Gossip is one thing. But talking about him like you know him personally is pretty frightening. He is just an actor. That’s all, folks. He is not your friend and will never be your “man”. If there are pictures of him with women, then there are pictures of him with women. If he says one thing, but his actions do another, then you know a lie is being said. But to think you know him because you watch him on television or in the movies or bought one of his poems is not knowing a person.
Viggo spends maybe all of a month a year in Idaho…..his mother, who has been ill but is fine (general knowledge) has a place in both Idaho and NY State, but has been in Clayton while ill and NOT Idaho. Either way, I agree Viggo has not at all been “by her side” but more of by Adriadna’s at times….someone recently in a Viggo forum put up links to the Dennis Hopper Star tribute and pictures of a woman that looks very much 99% like Ariadna in a long brown straight haired wig and big brown glasses…it makes you wonder…..I wouldn’t and don’t trust him, I believe he is full of BS. His attractive but it all ends that….I think in life he is destructive to relationships – his own and others.
Unless I am wrong, I have not heard of Viggo being in Spain since December, when those pictures were taken. He has been spotted in the NY area many times this year.
To Truthsayer,
I think you need to change your name because it’s obvious you know nothing about the TRUTH! You’re just spreading more lies and negativity. Why do you have to be so mean and insulting? If coming here and reading these posts upsets you so much; if you think we are all so stupid, then don’t come here! I think the truth about Truthsayer is that you are probably from the people who own this website and your job is to stir the pot to cause more controversy and drama. What’s the matter – were we getting too nice and civilized for you?
Sally James – your post really had me giggling. I have to ask about the pictures of this woman at the Dennis Hopper tribute who “looks very much 99% like Ariadna in a long brown straight haired wig and big brown glasses…” How can you tell she looks 99% like Ariadna if she had on big brown glasses and long straight hair? How do you know it was a wig? Did someone go up to her and pull them off? It was just a picture! Something to think about – There are lots of Spanish women in Los Angeles who probably look like Ariadna but they have real long hair and wear sunglasses because the weather is bright. Besides – I’m pretty sure Ariadna is busy in Zegreb working on a movie right now. She doesn’t have time to globe-trot with Viggo.
This is the first time I’ve come to a site like this and I have to admit the silly drama can be frustrating but also somewhat entertaining. It’s amusing to see the lengths people will reach to grab some controversy!
So here is something else to add to the pot – Yesterday an interview with Viggo from the Argentine magazine Gente was posted where they questioned Viggo about his relationships with his colleagues Christina and Ariadna and his answer was “Exactly, col-lea-gues. All the same, I think that privacy consists in not to rectify the fake rumors about your self.”
“Fake rumors” is what Viggo calls them. Is he being honest or unscrupulous? Chew away people.
This is true. In the article he calls the rumors of a romance with both Christina and Ariadna false. ZsuZsa, if you are out there, what do you think? Is he telling the truth or protecting someone? We will never know for sure, but what is your opinion.
i don’t understand why there is an issue with viggo’s remark. if he had said that he was having a relationship with ariadna gil no-one would have even considered the possibility that he wasn’t telling the truth but because he has denied it people belive he must be lying to protect someone. he said the information about the afairs with both women was false information but people don’t accept his word yet if he had said it was true they would have accepted it. go figure that one out.
it is clear that the people who really wanted for him to be with ariadna don’t want to believe that it isn’t true and need to find a reason to keep the rumor alive whatever the consequences to the people involved.
there are many people who wanted viggo or ariadna to come out and either confirm or deny and now that one of them has but not with the news that so many of those people wanted to hear they won’t accept it. what more can either of them do when people will only belive what they want to believe.
i said further up in this comment thread that it was my opinion that i was one of the few who wouldn’t be surprised if the rumors weren’t true and i stand by that and viggo himself has now validated it with his denial.
maybe it is because i have no vested interest neither did i care because it doesn’t effect me personally if he is with ariadna or not that i can take his words at face value whereas the people who have so strongly opined that they belived in that relationship and have pushed it all the way feel let down now.
@ZsuZsa
Thanks for your thoughts. I wanted your opinion because if you look at my posts, you will see that I agreed with you that it was merely speculation at this point. Neither of us has a vested interest. This is just a site for a chat about celebrity girlfriends. You are right there are those that will believe he is lying to protect AG and the privacy of the relationship. But I believe him. I do not think he is the type of person to make false statements like that. I have no idea what is going on in Spain with the sites you mentioned.
@ZsuZsa &Diane
Colleagues in english usually refers to a work associate. Unless it means something different in spanish, viggo is not being truthful. He is godfather to one of cristina’s kids and as far as ariadne goes, you do not go on vacation to iceland or fly all the way to see someone in croatia if they are a colleague. Unless the interview took place awhile ago and things have changed now. I don’t care if he is with ariadne or not because if it is not her then it is someone else, so who cares? But his words in that article do not match his actions. Sorry Ladies!
here come the stirrers to stir up trouble again. he denied it and that is that. you just don’t want to believe it.
I truly hope he’s not with her, but I know people in the “biz”, and people do say things for “damage control” that aren’t completely true. It happens all the time out here. I don’t know what to believe. I’ll probably still see his movies because I’ve always admired his work, but my warm fuzzies toward regarding him as a leading example of a human being are over.
@ZsuZsa
A Stirrer! Well I’ve been called worse than that!! LOL
There will always be speculation regarding celebrity love affairs. That’s why they have sites like this. The stars know this and many have to worry when no one cares anymore. I am not causing trouble. I think they make a nice couple. We don’t know why she broke up with her husband. I just think they are together and you don’t based on his comment in that one interview. Mine are based on his actions. Like MJ said, it is very common in show business to deny affairs, but you cannot deny flying around to be with someone and taking vacations together. I wish them the best. We just have a friendly difference of opinion. If others have said hurtful things, it is not me.
This “couple” is elusive indeed.
@ Ann
you really need to read my comment again. i said a lot further up in this comment thread that i didn’t believe they were a couple way before he denied it so it is not based on one comment from viggo in an interview.
@ Diana – but hasn’t AG not been in Spain since December either, that appears to be what everyone is saying on the internet.
I don’t like the idea of VM & AG together if he is finding her jobs, I know of no woman who has taken jobs through her boyfriend/husband, unless they started a business together after marriage….I think for a woman to take from a man in terms of jobs that enhances her career/wealth clearly shows what the woman is after. If a woman is truely independant, strong etc she would say “no, I don’t need your jobs/help, I can find my own like I always have”…only AG has never found her own jobs, looking on the internet they came mostly from the Trueba brothers….doesn’t look good for her. Her fame now is 90% due to the association with VM….also not good.
I personally would like to think of him dating someone who has their own job through their own hard work, someone who is earning their own money and has their own house…and who doesn’t want fame or fortune…..so I’d like to think we would never see her and she wouldn’t want to be seen……not hiding her, just not exposing her……Viggo earns his money, she earns her money and that neither their money/jobs cross paths…totally separate in life……bu together in heart.
As for the Gente interview..I don’t know if Viggo would lie, but I doubt it would be the first time if he did…..but no doubt if/when more photos appear of them together or she does start to show up in his films or in films with a connection to him – things will add fuel to the fire etc…..
Just my two cents.
Fiona
@Fofo – Your two cents makes sense to me. It does appear to be that Ariadna Gil has not been in Spain since December. I can understand her being gone for filming the Danish movie in Croatia. But other than that…why? One would think she would be spotted somewhere in Spain and photographed if she was there. What about her children?
I read in an interview article entitled ” Above all I’m a Cuervo…And a greater pride does not exist… – ” Most of the time Viggo lives in Spain. ” Why would he live in Spain, no family at all there. He is godfather to Christina Rosenvinge’s oldest son.[Rosenvinge was in a movie EONS ago with him. I don't consider her a colleague, a good friend of many years.] I do believe his mother is elderly and not in the best of health. But she is not at deaths’s door as was implied in many interviews/articles about why he did not return to Spain and unable to perform in the play Purgatorio. I think he used her as a cover. One month after making these statements about his mothers health situation – he goes on vacation in Iceland. Mrs. Wright must definitely be okay now as he will be gone at least 10 weeks filming ‘ A Dangerous Mind. ‘
Sorry. I’m just not convinced by his one statement. After the Gente interview was published, I noticed a poem was posted at Perceval Press about lying by Jonathan Swift. Thought that kind of funny.
What I can’t figure out is if they really are together; why do they continue to cover up the situation and lie about it?
@Veronica
This is just an opinion, but they could be covering up because of her children. We don’t know how hard they are taking this and we don’t know what kind of custody situation is going on with her ex husband. I have heard in Spain they are not very polite about this and they might want to protect the children until it quiets down and then slowly be seen together. I have no facts, just my opinion. I have seen in print, VM lie before so it is no surprise if he did it again.
There are many tells that indicate a person is lying. When a person is talking and they touch their face, it indicates at that moment that they’re not being entirely truthful. The higher up on the face, the bigger the lie. It just struck me today how many times in the past I’ve seen Viggo grab his ear various times while he’s talking during an interview about various things. It could be a nervous habit, or it could be he adjusts his statements to make himself look good. Just a thought.
@ Lizzie
I wasn’t aware Davie Trueba and Ariadna Gil were allready divorced.
” I have heard in Spain they are not very polite about this.”
What exactly do you mean by that? The people in Spain are not polite/accepting about adulterous relationships period. Or is it because these two and her husband are high-profile people? I’m not sure I understand what you mean by that. I thought the country of Spain was a quite open-minded country, anything goes kind of place.
Sorry for the typo. I meant David, not Davie.
@Veronica
I’m sorry polite was not a good choice of words. I am not in Spain but what we have read on posts here and I have read elsewhere is that some of the Spanish websites are not happy with VM and AG right now. Partly due to the respect they have for her husband (or ex) David, the canceling of the play, the supposed affair etc. Remember my post was in response to why they could be hiding the relationship. The kids live in Spain and would have to deal with the gossip, so they might want to protect them. The same situation could happen in the US or any country. I think Spain along with a lot of counties might be open minded, but I think marriage and children are still sacred. I said ex husband because I heard they had started divorce proceedings quite a while ago. I could be wrong though, have you heard different?
Lizzie, you are obviously the same liz from elsewhere who has been going on about and totally behind a romance between them for years now and you are unwilling to accept that you have probably been barking up the wrong tree.
it serves no useful purpose to try to keep the rumors going other than to give you something to believe in.
sorry but you were wrong and they are just friends and colleagues.
@ZsuZsa
First of all I am not the Liz that has been behind a romance for years. I haven’t had a computer that long. This board is only for speculation. I don’t really know if they are together. It is just an opinion. You cannot possibly know for sure that they are not together unless you are a personal friend. Do you have knowledge other than that interview? This site is for everyone for voice an opinion and chat. If it upsets you to hear one that you don’t agree with you should not come on the site. I would never get involved in saying nasty hurtful things as I have seen elsewhere. This is just speculation.
One after thought, you can disagree with a person regarding their opinions, but you should not put someone down personally, because they disagree with you. I see that a lot and it is not right. It is said people want to see them together, that may be true, but there are also those you can’t stand the thought of VM with a women and get very upset at the possibility.
i couldn’t care less one way or another if VM is with a woman or not if that is what you are insinuating. this rumor has been going on and on since 2005 and was started by the VM fan sites and has been carried on by them before ever anyone else even considered it. a lot of journos do their research by visiting fan sites and places like this and it is because of the gossip on those fan sites that the press and paparazzi picked it up and ran with it. now he has openly denied it those fan sites and others who just can’t let go of their dream relationship for him they are making the claim that he is lying to cever it up or protect her. i never believed the rumors from the start and i don’t believe them now.
But perhaps Zsuzsa when it comes out that Viggo has been lying and the fans you have a go at were right and you were wrong about Viggo – perhaps the mud will be on your face?! You are so sure that they are not together – but if it turns out they are together…..your posts will look very silly.
I read people saying about if they are together and why they think this. But other fans say only no they are not together with no reasoning. I think perhaps the fans who believe viggo and believe all he says will turn out to be laughed at…..and the smiles be on the face of those that thought viggo was not being honest.
I understand not why he would live in Spain -from choice – when he has nothing there….why not live in Denmark – he has a passport of this country – but Spain – no….so why? Unless this info is wrong. Why not live in Argentina? It is I think odd….he has family in the USA and football in Argentina but nothing in Spain…….
for first thing i was not having a go i was saying what is my opinion but if you want to get nasty about the whole thing then maybe you won’t mind me laughng at you when you are shown to be wrong. i don’t see where anyone laughing about who is right and who is wrong comes into it. that is just people being nasty and i actually wouldn’t laugh at someone who was wrong really so you just go on being that way if that makes you happy.
he isn’t and he wasn’t living in spain all the time. he was there for about ten weeks at the start of 2009 when he was seen with christina and her children and she was seen leaving his madrid apartment. then he went back for about two weeks in april. he was not there again until october for about one week and then he did not go back until december when he was there for two weeks. the rest of the year he was travelling and living in america.
@Zsuzsa – You seem awful sure of Viggo’s living arrangements and itinerary for the year 2009. I remember you mentioning in an earlier post about him not being as scrupulous as he leads people to believe.
Honestly, if there is actually only one person at this web site who might really know him, sounds like it would have to be you. I just never in my wildest dreams thought someone who has had contact with this man would post at a public forum board.
I agree with Veronica – Zsuzsa, you seem very sure you are right and you seem very sure of dates and how long he stay places. I saw no pictures of him at Christine’s appartment, only in the park and at the back door of the theatre…….then I see pictures of him and AG at her appartment………you either know him, which I feel you don’t – but if you did you should not be on here. If you don’t know him I think you feel you do. You seem to think (or do know?) exact dates of when and where he is……
On other subject, no one has been nasty about Viggo or AG that I read, but think they are being honest in their opinion and questioning things that Viggo has said when his actions are different to his words……I think many people here are thinking aloud and giving reasons for why they think things, I do not think they are being horrible. To question is not to be horrible. This is just my thoughts.
I think also it is not just about the happiness of two people (VM & AG), I think it is about the children first….if they are together, then I feel they have done much wrong against the children……this goes against Viggo’s words. I understand both sides of what people say, but his actions go against his words and so I am not sure about whether it is all true or not, his actions and behavior say yes they are together, his words say no. But we know Viggo’s words have lied before…..so I don’t know. I wish them not to be together…..because of the way it will have been done and the children……like other people I do not like Viggo finding AG jobs..I think that is wrong….she gets jobs and money from/through him…this is wrong, you do not date a man for this.
@ Veronica
how you jump at conclusions again the same way you and some others jump at conclusions about VM and AG because of some pictures and two other sightings. do you think it was AG with him in Canada because if you do then it is only because someone else wrote here that it was her. the shop where he was seen has a blog and it was on there that he was shopping with a ‘female companion’ but they never describe her or say it was her. they just said a female. it was someone else who put two and two together and conclude that is was AG.
@Fofo
you also jump at conclusions without any proof. he cannot be in two places at once and the times i said he wasn’t in spain was because he was actually seen in other places and was also promoting films in other places and was working on his book and recording a soundtrack for a documentary and loads of other things.
so you saw no pictures of Christina leaving his apartment. that does not mean it did not happen. you believe he does not use the bathroom maybe because you have not seen pictures to prove he does? Christina was seen leaving his apartment and he was also seen with another friend who was not Christina or Ariadna meeting in Madrid when he was staying there at the beginning of 2009.
you said that i accuse you of being nasty about AG & VM when that was not what i was talking about. i was talking about the way you said you laugh at people if they are wrong and that people have mud on their face if they are wrong. that is what i meant about you being nasty. is that what you do with your family or your friends if they are wrong and you are right. you laugh at them? do people laugh at you if you are wrong about a thing? i was bought up to be better than that and if i am proven wrong i admit it and if my friend or family member or colleague is wrong i do not laugh or make jest at them.
how do you know he gets jobs for her? with the play, VM suggested it to Ariel Dorffman and they agreed to do it in spain. AG helped out because it is her who knew the director from working with him before and she suggested him. the danish film is another thing. who said VM got her that job? i have read in other places that VM knows the director but people only started saying that after someone suggested that ‘maybe he knows the director’ and so then everyone jumps at a conclusion again and says ‘he knows the director’.
you said that to question is not horrible but if you question his words then you are calling him a liar and that is horrible. he said once when he denied another affair with the English tv presenter that the rumors eventually gets into your life and starts affecting you and so he spoke out. maybe that is why he spoke out now about AG. maybe it is affecting him because it starts to interfere with his life now. maybe he even has a girlfriend who is not AG and it is hurting her reading the rumors like it must have hurt David Trueba all these past years, so he spoke out. maybe because his parents are elderly and they read about it and maybe ask him ‘son, what is all this about’. maybe this is why he spoke out now.
together with other things that point away from this rumor, i accept his words.
@Zsuzsa
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! A bit defensive aren’t you?!? Go check out my first posted reply. Originally, I most definitely
gave them the benefit of the doubt. I never even mentioned
Canada. I have changed my opinion about this due to a lot of factors, not just one thing.
Surely you must realize with the way in which you write your replies – you come across as an authority on the matter and ’someone in the know.’ Especially with your very specific statement of ” he doesn’t seem to have as many scruples as some might think. ” ” And unfortunately I am not at liberty to say why.”
Your exact words Z. So either you know this man. Or you do know someone who does.
This is just an opinion of mine. In no way is this meant to be confrontational. After reading all of your posts again; it strikes me you are doing a bit of damage control. Trying waaaay too hard to convince others they are uninformed and wrong in their opinions.
@Veronica
What are the factors that made you change your opinion about Canada? You also mentioned something about “scruples.”
@Ann
For clarification sake I never did post an opinion about Canada one way or the other here.
Factors that changed my mind. Many interviews he stated he didn’t know how long he would have to be in New York to take care of his sick mother. Especially an article that was in a Danish newspaper. Yet almost one month to the day after he posted his statement about leaving the play Purgatorio he’s spotted on vacation in Iceland! If your mother was that seriously ill you wouldn’t leave and go on a trip that far away. I understand doing research for the Freud role, but how convenient it so happens to be in Zagreb, Croatia where Ariadna Gil is filming. I think he got up to be photographed with the restaurant owner so he would not be seen in a picture with Ariadna who is sitting at the table with her face blocked by the other woman.
Scruples? Well. Something that has bugged me for a bit. This man is known for guarding his privacy for years. Likes the anonymity of it all. According to journalists who have interviewed him, his co-workers and fans who have met him, he is very, very shy. This does not reconcile with the nude photo of himself on one page and Lola Schnabel ( his 22 yr.old girlfriend at the time ) on the opposite page in one of his own books. He is on the floor writing/drawing. It’s not the nudity; why would he want this to be published that he likes to be in the buff sometimes when he creates when he allready was having a problem with undue female attention. Just seems to me that kind of intimate moment best kept to yourself.
Another picture of him. I’m not sure if it’s in a book. I saw it on the ‘net. He took a photo of himself from about the shoulder area on up, tousled hair and when asked said he took it of himself after he had just gotten out of bed. Fine if he wanted the photo for posterity sake, why tell the world about it especially when you have made it clear that ‘what I do in private stays with me.’ At times it seems to me he fuels the flames of igniting his many female fans that he claims to try and deter from such attention.
Lionheart mentioned the movie Gospel According to Harry. The director of the film did a phone interview the text version I read, yes he was entertaining an overnight tent female friend. The filming of this movie was the same year he and Exene separated. I have not been able to find out if he was separated before or after the tent incident.
My reasons may not amount to much to others. But for me there are just a lot of them that began to add up to more than I originally suspected.
I still think he is a good actor. A very good thing I think he did was Perceval Press, an oulet for artists who most would never get published otherwise. { especially that poetry book from Argentina } But I no longer accept that he
is a man of total integrity. Or honesty.
Forget me and my ramblings. It is “Z” with her not as many scruples as some might think statement that would be most interesting to know the reasoning behind that. LOL
I’ve heard Viggo read some poetry that was very personal. I think he just wants to be in total control of his image and what gets exposed to the public. Sorry dude, but that’s not possible in this biz. I think George Clooney put it best when he said that if you choose to become an actor, and then become successful enough to be famous, you chose it, deal with the attention, quit your whining or find another profession. I’m paraphrasing, but that was the sentiment.
I’m very curious about Z. I wonder if he/she is someone I’ve met before.
Thanks for your thoughts Veronica. I don’t think that we will be hearing from “Z” anytime soon regarding her scruple opinion. By the way, what book is V nude in?? LOL
i am probably going to get plastered for this but here goes anyway. i have been reading these posts and my view is quite different from those here. vm is not private at all regarding other aspects of his life. aside from having no problem with millions seeing him nude, he talks about his childhood, parents, their divorce, his kid, politics, other actors, directors, and his thoughts on almost every subject except one, his love life. i think a big reason for this is that he is most likely bi sexual or mostly gay with a few women lovers now and then. most straight couples in hollywood even the most private that do not discuss their personal lives are at least seen at restaurants and support each at premieres, and other events. the public knows they are together and in each other’s lives although they don’t discuss it. vm is always alone, his partners are always hidden. this is so weird for a straight person to live this way or for that matter a gay person that is honest about it. gay actors such, as ellen degeneres and others are proud to be with their partners and do not hide it. only actors in the closet hide and say they are very private. i know he was married, but it did not last long. i even have my doubts now that he was with lola. i think she might have been just a close friend. as far as ari gil goes, they might be together, as i said i think he likes women too, but the pictures outside her house were meaningless and he went to iceland with a group. we do not even know if she was there. zagreb is only 100 or so miles from vienna where he was researching. if I had a good friend filming there, i would stop and see how they were doing. i think that it benefits both of them for people to believe they are together, so they don’t deny it (publicity for her). as far as that spanish play goes, I think he was scared stiff to do it and very unprepared, that is why he dropped out. he is my favorite actor and i don’t care what he is, but I think it is sad they you have to hide who you really are if you want to make movies in hollywood. i would not want to live that way. of course, this is just my opinion, I have no proof whatsoever. all right, let me have it. i have no proof, he was married, ag left her husband! I know.
@Ann
I think it’s the Linger or Recent Forgeries book. I’ve never bought any of his books. If you do find it online and have any comments about it feel free to let me know.
@argent
I am sorry but I don’t believe that for one minute. You can definitely be straight and private. I think after Lola he got turned off by the public knowing about his private life. He said it can ruin a relationship and that is why he keeps it private. I think we will know for sure about AG as time goes on and they are more comfortable being seen together. Remember she is recently separated, also I don’t know Exene Cervenka personally, but she seems like a very stong confident woman and I don’t think she would be someone’s “beard wife.” You are wrong.
@Veronica
Thanks for the info!
Argent,
It is not that you have to hide who you are in Hollwood. It is that if you want fame and fortune you have to hide who you are. Do you know why?
Because women go to movies and they like romance. If they know a man is guy, they won’t swoon for him no matter even if he takes a male lead role. They know, without a ahadow of a doubt, they have no chance with that man. So people laugh and say “why? did you think you have a chance with him anyway? Especially gay men say this in response to women. But the answer is “why do you think Disney Princess is so powerful to young girls? They know they are not princesses, but don’t care. You know why? Because there is no logic in a feminine romantic Heart. And that is why I say to gay men “wow, you really are like “real” men (nonoffenseively) because even straight men try to apply logic to a women’s Heart.
So gay men know this and they want to be rich and famous anyway. So they take this choice away from women by pretending to be straight and then blame “society” for not allowing them to be themselves. It is very manipulative and disrespective to women, but hey! Our society has always been disrespectful to women because we have allowed it through out own insecurities. It is always personal choice.
VM may be gay or not. But a lie is a lie and I don’t like that these actors make it seem as if “society” forces them to lie. And as as far as him being so shy and private, how come I can count on both hands how many times he shows his body naked?? And how dare he blame the media for his “relationship” with a woman half his age —- Lola — for the breakup. Umm. maybe you were twice her age and didn’t have anything in common other than you just wanted a young woman’s body instead of a woman your own age?
lilypad,
if you read my post again, i do say that vm is not private at all except with his love life and I mention the nudity in films. i also said I believe he and lola were just good friends. i never heard of him blaming the press for any of his relationships breaking up. i think he said that the intrusion can cause problems in a relationship. I know why these guys hide who they are. you are perfectly right.
Knowing what I know, I think the reason V doesn’t like to talk about his love life is because he generally messes around with women he shouldn’t be messing around with. This is not the first time he went for someone in a relationship.
@MJ
You must have heard the gay/bi rumors before if you have friends in show business. They have been circulating for years since before LOTR. There are sites that still discuss to this day, the goings on with the guys on that film.
You know MJ you are not the first person to mention that about him going after someone already in a relationship. This has been referred to by several different people at various web sites. I am of the opinion he has been having an affair with Ariadna Gil. Not much of a stretch to think he’s done this before with other married/attached women. Not only would it explain him not speaking about his love life, but also why he is NEVER seen with a woman in a dating situation. A man can’t be seen with another man’s wife or girlfriend out in public. Maybe this is what Zsuzsa meant by not as many scruples as one would think.
Very interesting Veronica and MJ but, Ariadna Gil is no longer or will no longer be attached. If you two are right what then?
could vm have been with married women before? probably, and he might be with this ag. but, he can’t have been with only attached women for all these years. i still think my theory is more realistic.
I don’t know Ann. It will be interesting to see if the two of them do end up together permanently. I still hold out that it will not last. Women’s intuition, gut feeling whatever.
@argent
I’m not going to let you have it. Everybody is entitled to their own opinions/theories.
‘his partners are always hidden.’ Sure gave me something to think about. If dating women who are in another relationship or you are bi/gay and not out of the closet you won’t be seen with others at all will you?
@Ann
I have heard the gay/bi rumors. I could see why people think that, but I’ve only heard of him being with women. If he’s closeted, he’s as secretive as a super hero.
@MJ
Those rumors have been around for a long time with no proof whatsoever. VM is such a private person, that all kinds of stories pop up because the press does not know what to write. Half of this stuff is made up to sell articles. I do think, although some on this board disagree strongly, that there is truth to the AG story (IMHO). That article in Gente does not seem to me like a serious interview. It seemed more like he was kidding around with the interviewer, especially after the second remark about CR’s kids wearing the San Lorenzo colors and he starts to laugh. I would not base anything on that article; it was not a strong denial to me.
who cares? let the dude do what he wants! :/
Strange how we get all caught up in the lives of the “rich and famous”! When it comes to VM, afraid I’m as bad as the rest – there is just something about him! He’s got great soul – it’s not just his looks, there is his heart! Must admit that I’m a bit jealous (not that I would ever have the chance of meeting him) and pray that he and AG are not together – I’m thinking that perhaps he is a bit gun shy of marriage and that he may be just very very good friends with AG as long as she was married and perhaps now that she has left her husband – he will drop her.
Cindy, Viggo Mortensen may play serious characters, but when it comes to his personal life, I don’t think there’s really anything going on, and it’s not from jealousy anything, but it looks staged.
Edit: I meant that right now, he and Ariadna Gil, there’s just something about it that doesn’t say they’re going out, nor serious.
Jane- I think you are right – there is something not quite right about the pictures of them together –
Viggo is known to be a prankster – you think he may be enjoying the “game”?
Anything is possible. They just look more like friends, maybe even friends with benefits, but not a couple.
I noticed in most of the pictures that AG is wearing her wedding ring – and in some not – did she and her hubby David Trueba separate?
Ariadna Gil is separated from her husband. Not sure of the date she left him. Summer or fall of ‘09? The pictures outside a home/apartment in Dec.’09 with her and Viggo is the residence where she lives in Madrid,Spain.
I guess she is finished with the filming of the Danish movie in Croatia. I saw a picture of her with two women on the internet. She was in Barcelona,Spain on May 15th to do a reading from a book called Cesare{spelling?}. This book is to be presented on May 20th in Madrid,Spain. I don’t know if AG will be at that reading or not.
Guess only time will tell.
Do you think that she is using Viggo in order to get parts?
Well it certainly does look that way, but that’s just my opinion.
I’ve not seen the pictures of AG and VM in Madrid – have there been any of late? I’ve seen the youtube video as well.
Ariadna has been in Barcelona for a reading on the 15th..I think perhaps Viggo was heading out of USA to Spain when he was seen at the Beethoven music concert – yes? Perhaps they are in Spain now, do anyone hear something?
According the the posts at Perceval Press, it looks like Viggo is in Cologne, Germany under the tutelage of David Cronenberg. He said in an interview that he starts shooting his new film at the end of May. That would be now.
I understand that Viggo was at Columbia University to watch his son Henry graduate – filming on A Dangerous Method was to start the week of May 17th.
@MJ
MJ without naming names (of course) could you be more specific about the “unavailable women” rumors? Can you give us more info?
Anyone remember Eddie Fischer, Debbie Reynolds and Elizabeth Taylor? Well, Eddie and Debbie were married (they are parents of Carrie Fischer of Star Wars fame). Debbie Reynolds was America’s sweetheart of the movies while Eddie was a singer. when Elizabeth Taylor met up with Eddie, she managed to steal him away from Debbie. There was quite the scandal back then and Eddie’s career (I believe) took quite the nose dive. Can’t remember if Elizabeth and Eddie wed (probably did). Debbie’s career stayed quite strong after the scandal and I think Elizabeth might have suffered as well a bit.
Then we have Jessie James and Sandra Bullock – she the reigning America’s sweetheart and Jessie the big knave!
If…. if AG and VM are proved to be together and he is responsible for the breaking up of her marriage – do you think the “fans” have the clout or the inclination to “punish” the two of them as did the fans of Eddie and Elizabeth and are possibly doing to Jessie? Your thoughts, please.
@argent
All I feel comfortable saying is that there have been other women who were in relationships that suddenly broke up when Viggo entered the picture, and then seemed to be with him for awhile. Unless I name names, which I certainly will not do, that’s pretty much all I can say.
@cindy
you sound like his pr person gathering information or taking a survey. do you know something we don’t?
you cannot compare vm and ag to elizabeth and eddie. They are not nearly as famous. No one even knows who ag is in the usa and half the people you speak to don’t know vm. as I said in my previous posts I am not sure they are together, but I believe his fans love him no matter what. I know I do, of course others might disagree.
@argent
No, I’m not his PR person – haven’t even met him! Would love to tho.
I realize that there is no comparison to Eddie and Elizabeth – I mean Elizabeth Taylor?! She is known by everyone – and I think there was a different moral mindset in those days than today…
It’s a bit unbelievable that no one would know VM???!!! I think he is fabulous as an actor –
While I would be disappointed (and even a bit jealous) if they were together, I would still support him as an actor.
I too was wondering if you were his PR person, especially with all of the questions that you have. But if you’re not, then I guess you’re not.
@Fofo and Veronica
According to someone on Twitter who saw him, VM is now in Barcelona. What a coincidence! I must give him and AG credit; they do a wonderful job of hiding. Either that or the paparazzi do not take their picture. It is amazing how long they have kept this quiet, they must never go out!
@ Ann – ???? he’s in Barcelona?? Thought he was in Germany filming – didn’t they start filming in Germany for his new movie???
And yes, if they were going out, you would think that the paparazzi would have taken their picture –
@Jane – I’m just a bit fascinated with him at the moment – wouldn’t mind being his personal assistant!
just saw posted on Twitter that Viggo died in a car accident in London last night – if he was in Barcelona or filming in Germany, how could he be in London???? No reports of his death anywhere on the web.
If only you were funny Cindy – I might have laughed.
AG and VM aare hardly Liz Taylor etc – so no scandal!
No pictures because no one knows who the hell AG – she isn’t a big name.
As for other women’s relationships have come to an end once Viggo arrived on the scene – you referring to Scarlett J? Nothing to do with Viggo, G Palrow? Nothing to do with Viggo – fact – Viggo doesn’t go for blondes…..you can tell that straight off.
Andie McDowell – yes….I agree….him/her I believe…the others big no. Him and AG yes….
I think when they do get caught and people have seen how much Viggo has lied – the lines will go down at his exhibitions and money might not flow so well into PP.
@Cindy
Don’t worry VM is not dead. He is most likely in Barcelona having a blast as we speak. That stupid rumor was started on Twitter. Why people do these things is beyond me.
VM stated in an interview that he is not needed on the set full time because the part of Freud is a supporting role. This leaves him time to travel. He was seen on a flight to Barcelona on 5/25. AG has also been in Barcelona recently so this story might very well be true. I believe it is her hometown.
one person say they see viggo on a flight to barcelona but the next day someone else at twitter say they saw him in los angeles and he posted on his perceval press that same day a article about los angeles street gangs.
one of the people was mistaken and he posted nothing from spain only things from new york and los angeles.
@ZsuZsa
You are correct one person is right and the other is wrong. But, the person on the flight said they spoke to him, who knows? As you know he can post articles on PP from anywhere in the world, he does not have to be there. I have seen him post from El Pais and the Independent on the same day. But, wherever he may be, I am sure that he is going to attend the Memorial Service for Dennis Hopper wherever and whenever it is held. I just heard that Dennis passed away today.
the person who twittered didn’t speak to him. they made a joke about lord of the rings about him having the ring and showing it to them.
he doesn’t always post from where he is i know that, but it is often a very good indicator especially when there is also a person who sees him in that place. there are papers he always post from like independant and el pais for sure but there are others that he only posts from when he is visiting that country.
it’s possible also that he is in la and is one of the friends who was with his great friend dennis hopper when he died. they say he was surrounded by family and friends.
@ Zszsa – I think maybe LA, with Henry finished Uni he must either return to LA to live, have a place that Viggo has bought in him in NY or go to hs mothe’s. I think he will go back to LA and Viggo will be there with him….
I too think some fans will make stuff up to add to rumours (which don’t need any fueling!), I only believe if there are pictures and perhaps different sources at the sametime, not one source for all.
I still hope it is not true about him and AG but only because of the children….I feel for them so much, especially as it would mean Viggo and AG did have an affair while the one was so young….
Sorry Zsuzsa – I spelt your name wrong. My apologies.
@ZsuZsa and Fofo
I too hope that VM was in LA and able to be with Dennis. It is true about Twitter you never know the whole truth, someone said he died in London the other day which was totally outrageous.
As far as Henry is concerned, he might decide to stay in school and go on to a higher degree. In the US it would be a Master’s Degree and that could be anywhere not just NY or LA. If he works in his major of archeology he can really go anywhere, we really don’t know where he will end up living.
Fans tend to think that VM needs to be in Spain to see AG and then all the rumors start if he is there, but the fact is that she can travel with him and meet him anywhere in the world. She is totally unknown in the US so she can go unrecognized anywhere here. For some reason the paparazzi in the US do not bother VM. I have no idea if they are really together or not, but being in a particular country does not mean anything. Since he travels so much whoever is his love must do a lot of traveling to be with him. We never see him because he is a master at hiding.
Henry has spoken of maybe doing a Masters in LA – hence I mentioned it. Of course he could do it anywhere, more so than anyone else because of his dad’s money he could do it aboard – an opportunity your average person doesn’t have! He is VERY lucky…..
….the death thing about Viggo was not supposed to be a death rumour – it was someone making fun of the Viggo sightings because he is seen in more than one place at a time….they were trying to be funny…but it didn’t work and won’t under these circumstances on the internet….it was also just distasteful.
@Fofo
It was very distasteful. It makes you wonder just how many of those twitter sightings were false.
To Fofo
Where did you hear that Henry said he was considering doing his Masters in L.A.? I’ve never seen Henry comment on his plans anywhere, not even on his My Space page.
is so sad for grown up women to be checking on a myspace of a young guy of 22 just because they like his dad. this is very sad lionheart. you must be very anxious to find out about viggo and his private life for you to follow him through his son. and to ann, is also very sad that you and others cannot accept that viggo does not be dating ariadna even though he says so himself. you must want it to be true so much that you have to keep telling yourselves and other people it is true and he is a liar because you think if you say it enough it will be true.
@ZsuZsa
As I said in my post, I don’t know if they are together, but I speculate that they are. I know your opinion is that they are not, so we will not agree on that. I don’t see that interview as a denial since there was a lot of kidding around and we know that both of those ladies are more than “colleagues.” I think if a man and woman are rumored to be together, then she leaves her husband, goes on vacation with the new man and then he flies to see her where she is filming, is a little suspicious. Now we hear that AG was in Barcelona and VM is supposedly seen flying there. There are a lot of coincidences. Although after the “dead” rumor my trust in twitter is much less.
@ann
you must have read different interview to me because the one i read was relaxed but not with a lot of kidding around as you put it. he laughed when it was pointed out about the children of christina wearing the colors of san lorenzo but not after he answered the question about the romance rumors. why shouldn’t he laugh when the interviewer obviously had not realised that the oldest boy is his godson and that christina is a friend for many many years back.
you think if a man and a woman are rumored to be together then it must be true but the rumors always come from the viggo sites and the press only pick up on it from the fans. many fans want it to be true and like with any gossip and rumors if something is said by one person and then repeated often, it grows and people start to belive it is true.
vm and ariadna are friends and that is all. they did not go to vacation alone they went as part of a group of friends and vm was in europe to research not far from where ariadna was starting to film so he went to visit her on the first day of filming same as a female friend of his visited him on first days of filming eastern promises in london a few years ago. as for someone seeing him on a flight to barcelona many flights from jfk are german national airline lufthansa and fly with stopovers in germany. is possible he was on one of those and he never went to barcelona but got off the plane in germany.
actors and artists often socialize and hang out with other actors and artists because they are close knit group of people.
you carry on speculating that they are together if that is what makes you happy and content because is right that everyone express their own views but your view include calling viggo a liar.
Hey Zsuzsa,
I am really insulted by your statement: “is so sad for grown up women to be checking on a myspace of a young guy of 22 just because they like his dad. this is very sad lionheart. you must be very anxious to find out about viggo and his private life for you to follow him through his son.”
For your information, I read Henry’s page and listened to his radio show because he knows a lot about music – especially punk. And I enjoy his poetry. Henry is an interesting person in his own right and I do care about him. I’ve watched him grow up since he was a little boy, so I am interested in what he does with his life. I am also a musician, and I encourage other young musicians. For you to shame me for reading his website, without knowing the reasons is really hypocritical!
I never called Viggo a liar. You are the one who said he was “unscrupulous”. But since you are pressing the point – Viggo never said he was not dating Ariadna. Nope, never said those exact words. NEVER! What he said is
“All the same, I think that privacy consists in not to rectify the fake rumors about your self.” He never specified what the “fake rumors” were, but we do know from Christina that they are only friends. That could be the only fake rumors he was referring to. Ariadna Gil, nor anyone from her camp, has denied she and Viggo are dating. I think Viggo is very clever at alluding the issues, but I never called him a liar.
This is a speculation thread about girlfriends, so of course people here are speculating on this issue. I don’t object to it. What I do object to is dragging Ariadna Gil through the mud and saying she is only dating Viggo for money or connections. The facts are she is definitely Viggo’s friend, (whether they are dating or not) and she is a very talented actress who does not need help from Viggo, therefore I will defend her. I may not agree with all her actions, but I will defend her as a woman and as an artist.
And I will defend my right to go to whatever website I choose without being insulted by a total stranger! You know nothing about me, just like you know nothing about Viggo. All you really have is speculation over what is written in articles and websites. You are no better than the rest of us, so stop acting like you are.
@ Lionheart: Henry has suggested two places for his Masters, I only remember him mentioning UCLA as the one.
@ Zsuzsa: I agree about myspace etc. A lot of Viggo fans feel that a lot of Viggo friends/relatives are “greatly talented and wonderful people” I often wonder if they take this attitude because they think that is what Viggo wants them to say/think. They will not say anything bad about anyone Viggo knows and is publicly known to like……I have many times heard Viggo’s fans say that henry is “just like Viggo” – actually he isn’t…he is 100% his mother.
@ Ann: I wouldn’t trust Twitter full stop. there is no reason to – it’s all just fans
I don’t believe he ever went out with Christina R – he just doesn’t seem to ever go for blonds. But AG – I’m sitting on the fence though I hope it isn’t true…..for so many reasons. The one being that if it is true, Viggo will show himself up to be a liar and I don’t want that more than anything. The article you all refer to was vague and Viggo gave a vague answer…..I’m still waiting for time to tell…
Whoa! Missed alot since I last posted – I’m only able to get on the internet at the library and it has been closed since Friday afternoon.
Been watching the news shows all weekend long to see if there were any reports of Viggo and there were none – glad to “see” that he is not dead! Guess one must Twitter and all websites with a grain of salt!
I didn’t mean to compare Elizabeth Taylor with VM as they are two different types of actors – Elizabeth Taylor more movie star. The thought had occurred to me and I was wondering if the fans had the same type of clout as they had back in the days.
I like to think that Viggo was with his friend Dennis Hopper at the end. Viggo seems to be quite faithful to his friends.
As for AG – well, time will tell. We are all human and we all make mistakes -
here’s Viggo’s letter to Dennis – so he was not with him physically when Dennis Hopper died – http://percevalpress.com/
@ZsuZsa
To be fair regarding the Iceland vacation is the only proof we have twitter sightings? Do you know if they named AG or just said a female? I heard some sites say they described her physically. Do you know if it was more than one person that posted on twitter? The reason I am asking is that I do not know if I believe twitter at this point. I tried to find the posts on twitter, but I could not find anything during that week.
Also do you have any idea why AG’s press people do not deny the rumors? Some of them were pretty bad, I would think if it was not true, why not deny them and put a stop to all of this.
Thanks for the information Fofo. I’m curious where you heard Henry’s comments on getting a Masters degree. What is the subject? More Archeology?
As for your statement wondering about Viggo fans only making flattering comments because they think it’s what Viggo would want – I can’t speak for others, only for myself. In my case – I call it as I see it, whether it’s what Viggo wants to hear or not. I think both Viggo and Henry would appreciate the truth rather than flattery. However, I do think the truth should be served with tact and fairness. (Unless I’m dealing with a bunch of mean, gossiping or insulting people who need to be shocked into stopping the abuse, then I get in their face.)
As for Henry, I do not think he is 100% Viggo. I think he is a very different kind of person who is much more comfortable in front of people, more confident in his abilities, and has a lot of courage and creativity all his own. Sometimes I enjoy Henry’s poetry more than Viggo’s poetry. I don’t know enough about Exene to know if that’s where he gets it. I just know he’s a very smart kid (He read the LOTR Trilogy before he was 11 years old! That’s impressive!!) and I think he’s got a lot going for him. But this is a thread about girlfriends, not family, so I won’t say more about Henry.
Except one more thing regarding people who visit Henry’s website: There were a lot of Viggo fans who kept posting stuff to and about Viggo on Henry’s site. I thought it was wrong to do so because the site is about Henry, not Viggo. Finally Henry wrote a notice asking Viggo fans to stop coming to his site just because of his dad. He took a stand for himself and politely explained why it offended him. I was so proud of him for doing so. Thankfully his request was respected and there have been no more “Viggo postings”. They are letting Henry have his space on My Space. It is quite possible to be a fan of both Viggo and Henry separately.
Concerning the Iceland vacation, no one ever said it was Ariadna. But the woman seen with Viggo at the Blue Lagoon, where they were observed as “a couple” described a woman with short dark hair, dark skin and thin, “very cute”. The person who blogged about seeing them did not even know who Ariadna Gil was, nor any of the controversy about them. She was just excited to see Viggo and thought he looked happy with “his girlfriend”. The description seems to closely fit Ariadna, so people just assumed it was her.
Make of it what you will.
@ann
ariadna was never named by the icelandic press just that he arrived with a girlfriend and his entourage. he arrived with a group of people and they believed one of those to be his girlfriend.
ariadna’s agents did respond when asked by saying no comment but as the marriage break up rumors had only just come out then that is not surprising. ariadna hasn’t been directly asked about it since then and david has just kept quiet.
@lionheart and not directed at anyone else
you said:-
“For your information, I read Henry’s page and listened to his radio show because he knows a lot about music – especially punk. And I enjoy his poetry.

you haven’t watched him grow up. you weren’t there. you have seen some pictures and read things in the press that his father has said about him in interviews but you haven’t seen him grow up. that is all in your imagination. it is what you would like to have been and to have happened but it never did. only his family and friends have seen him grow up. henry is a complete stranger to you that you would like to know but don’t and is simply a young man you know of just because you admire his father but you don’t know the actual person. what you are doing is a classic fan obsession of trying to feel closer to someone by knowing as much as possible not just about them but about their closest family and friends.
you said:-
“I never called Viggo a liar. You are the one who said he was “unscrupulous”. But since you are pressing the point – Viggo never said he was not dating Ariadna. Nope, never said those exact words. NEVER! What he said is

i never said you called him a liar. i was responding to ann that for her to say his answer was not a denial meant that logically she would have to be saying he lied to not believe his own words. and when i said he is unscrupulous it had nothing to do with his love life and i never said it was.
you missed the first part of what he said in his denial by the way. you should have quoted the question and his exact answer to keep it in context but his complete answer blows your argument out of the water.
Since we are just talking, did you hear that in Spain they say you have had relationships with your colleagues, singer Christina Rosenvinge and Ariadna Gil?
Exactly, col-lea-gues. Anyway I think that cultivating privacy means not correcting false information spread about yourself.
he stressed that they are colleagues, both of them. he used the plural of the word colleague meaning both and the way he obviously slowly and deliberately said the word, stressing each syllable, col-lea-gues, when you read the actual text from the article, it can be taken in no other way than a denial of a relationship with either of those women. he sees ariadna as a colleague and a friend the same way he sees christina. ariadna has not denied anything because she has not been asked directly and her agents just said they had no comment. that is not a surprise as the news of her marriage breaking up had only just been made public at that time.
you said:-
“This is a speculation thread about girlfriends, so of course people here are speculating on this issue. I don’t object to it. What I do object to is dragging Ariadna Gil through the mud and saying she is only dating Viggo for money or connections.

I may not agree with all her actions, but I will defend her as a woman and as an artist.”
i have not dragged ariadna through anything. i only ever said that i have never believed they are a couple. there is someone who has been posting everywhere very hateful and spiteful things but that person is well known for what she does. i have never said ariadna needs or want viggo’s help. you mix other peoples posts up and then say it is me when it was not. that is proof that you don’t read things properly, you read into things what you want them to be and then you try to influence people opinions when you haven’t even read the posts here properly never mind what you have read at other places.
you said:-
“And I will defend my right to go to whatever website I choose without being insulted by a total stranger! You know nothing about me, just like you know nothing about Viggo. All you really have is speculation over what is written in articles and websites. You are no better than the rest of us, so stop acting like you are.”
you can defend your right to go wherever you want that is true and i can defend my right to be of the opinion and to say that fans of viggo only go to henry’s myspace page to find out what he is up to and to see if there is anything there about his father.
Just an observation regarding the Iceland sighting, AG is very fair she does not have dark skin. So the speculation continues.
@zsuzsa.
i agree with you that vm and ag are probably not together but for different reasons. if you read my previous post, i believe that here is a strong possibility that vm is gay or bi but mostly gay. i think that is the reason he is so private and is never seen with a woman. it explains a lot of what is going on with ag and why there are no outright denials and why they do not come out in public, because they are not together! it would not matter to me in the least, he will always be my favorite actor, but it does matter to a lot of women fans, so he needs to hide and these rumors with ag may actually help him. i am curious to know what you think.
This is in answer to Zsuzsa.
I’m sorry you thought I was accusing you of saying negative things about Ariadna. I was not. I was referring to the things posted earlier in this thread, and it was said by so many, I felt I had to jump in and give a better perspective and defend this woman. So much of what was being said was based on sheer assumption, no facts backing it, and it was very mean. But you were not involved in that.
As for Henry, you are correct in saying my watching him grow up was not personally. Perhaps I should have used different wording. You are NOT CORRECT in your accusation that I am delusional! When I said I’ve watch Henry grow up, I meant through pictures, seeing him play parts in Crimson Tide and the LOTR movies. (In TT he played a little boy preparing for battle. In ROTK he played both a grown-up soldier of Gondor and an Orc! He sprouted up to man-size in just one year, so yeah, I saw him grow up!) I watched his performance of reading his poetry in 3 Fools 4 April. I’ve seen a clip of his performance in his school play “Rent”. I’ve listened many times to his 2 – hour radio show on WBAR where he was a DJ who played and talked about different kinds of music and how they all tie into punk. I’ve also listened to his songs on his My Space page.
I would like to meet Henry even if Viggo was no where around, and I could talk to Henry without ever mentioning his father. I like Henry for Henry, not his dad.
It really is insulting when you assume you can read my mind and motives and tell me what I’m thinking. You are not a mind reader! You are not GOD. You know nothing about me, so stop telling me what I think! You are wrong! Besides, how do you know I haven’t been personally involved with Henry? I could have been one of his teachers at school or a family friend, but of course I wouldn’t tell anyone here. You never know, so stop acting as if you do.
I am really tired of arguing and trying to defend myself to total strangers. I first posted here because so much of the speculation was bogus and offensive, and I wanted to bring some facts in to stop the abuse against Ariadna. But it does no good, because facts don’t matter here. You will think whatever you want no matter what the facts say. It’s not fun for me. It’s too frustrating, so this is it for me. I’m done here. Viggo just called and invited me over for lunch with Henry and we are going swimming together.
P.S. Just in case you get your knickers in a twist with my contradictions in my last post, I feel I should inform you; that last sentence was a sarcastic joke.
Have fun Ladies, but play nice!
@Lionheart
Oh don’t leave Lionheart, just because of one person. The rest of us have been nice to you. If I left because of what one person said to me on a site, I would never go on the internet!!
@Lionheart and ZsuZsa
Besides, you two have a lot in common; you might be the only ones here that actually like Ariadna. If you two leave then we all agree, how boring.
@Lionheart
Please don’t leave the forum just because of one person! Your insights and thoughts are important – I think we all need to agree to disagree and do it in a civil manner.
Now, anyone seen VM of late? Where’s he at? Where’s AG at?
Just to set the record straight ZsuZsa, I think saying I am calling VM a liar is a bit harsh. I don’t think he outright lies; I think he just plays around with the truth sometimes. For instance, he has admitted being bored in an interview and telling the reporter it is in his contract to be home for Halloween. That story has been repeated for years and he finally admitted it was not true. In another interview he stated that he and Ariel Dorfman discussed presenting Purgatorio and that Professor Dorfman was the one who wanted and chose Ariadna. The way he phrased it, if you did not know the situation between VM and AG you would think VM had nothing to do with choosing her. Absolutely no one believes this. He also made it sound as if AG was doing them a great favor by starring in Appaloosa and they were so lucky that she consented to be in the film. Even AG herself could not believe that one, she said so herself. So as much as I like him, he does have a tendency to stretch the truth a bit, but then again don’t we all do that from time to time. That’s what I think he did in that article. The interview was given before AG split from her husband. What else could he say?
you must believe what you want to believe ann. however, if we are all setting the record straight, in the interview viggo confirmed that he is taking part in the talking cure so the interview was given after ariadna and david split so he could have confirmed a relationship if it was true but he denied it instead.
quote:-
For example, David Cronenberg just invited me to perform Sigmund Freud in The Talking Cure, a wonderful story by Christopher Hampton and I could not say no.
@ZsuZsa
You are correct regarding the date of the article. I thought it was earlier.
Saw this on youtube about Ed Harris and VM talking about Appaloosa and toward the end, Ed is talking about “Katie” the part AG played in the movie – listen and tell me what you think – something is not right -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KfqcSqEaAY&feature=PlayList&p=81225D45A54FB129&playnext_from=PL&index=111
@Cindy
I watched the video and Ed makes it sound as if VM and AG really like each other and love to work together. I don’t believe for one moment that he found her by looking through pictures and tapes, I am sure VM recommended her for the part and there is nothing wrong with a friend recommending a friend so why all the over explaining? Just say he recommended her for the part what was the big deal? That’s what I found weird, his making this big deal out of going over all the facts of choosing her. He made it look more suspicious. What did you find wrong?
@ Ann: I do not think AG’s people will deny the rumours it is fantastic publicity for her – more work for her, more money for them…..they won’t deny this, it is in their interest NOT to deny it.
I was also under the impression that the Argentina interview was given this year, after AG’s spilt – so Viggo would be talking in the present….
@ Ann & Cindy: I don’t believe Ed chose AG from photos etc he would never have heard of her if it wasn’t for Viggo – Viggo 100% got her this job. From the interview Cindy linked – Ed is constant and confident in his answers, until he comes to the AG bit, he is then hesitant, and he is trying to think of what to say, like it isn’t so natural. He also looks down a lot as if he is making it up or choosing his words carefully……I don’t believe him. I can’t even remember if she sent a photo or video – it was such a “good” audition – he can’t remember what or how it took place? Because it didn’t and he is making it up and lying……LOL
@ Lionheart: I think you are right with the Iceland/Twitter remark, it is assummed from the description given that is was AG.
@ Everyone – I find it odd that Viggo can get out of work for his “sick” mother and skip off with AG (possibly) around the world and travel around – but then when it comes to Dennis Hopper’s funeral I’m not actually sure he was there, nothing at present suggests he was there! So much for good friends….if they were that close I would expect him to be there come hell or high water – he was Henry’s Godfather!!!! Anyone prove me wrong and know different?
@Fofo
I agree with you totally about everything. The only thing I am not sure of is the Twitter description if the woman in question did have dark skin since AG is very fair. But I still think it is probably her.
I also found it very strange that Ed Harris was over explaining the choosing of AG and the part of her and Viggo looking so happy together it was very weird.
Viggo’s name has not been mentioned in any of the news reports as being at Dennis’s funeral and was not at his bedside either. I like you find this incredible. He was rumored to be in Barcelona when Dennis was sick near the end and then he was seen in Argentina the week of the funeral. If Dennis was Henry’s godfather wouldn’t they both be there? It is incredibly strange and the Viggo sites are not saying a word about it.
I think people also forget that the first sighing of Viggo & AG together was NOT the pictures at her house – but a charity basketball game in Madrid in December – I have never seen pictures but they were described as “inseperable”….

Another full link here…..
The men in this industry have opportunities no average man has. If you only could see what I see, I have very little respect for men. I thought Viggo was different. I am convinced now that men are weak and unscrupulous by nature, and I implore men around the world to prove me wrong. Stop being so pathetic guys. Have some self respect by respecting others. Your “little guy” will lose his power one day, and all you will be left with is your legacy of your treatment of all humans.
I Cant belive he would do anything like this, married woman, he has weird types of girls. what does his boy think of this, i wonder if he’s introduced them, least there hope for all the other girls, she not really attractive. sigh.
@fofo and ann
I just felt that Ed was not telling the truth – it just seemed too forced, too contrived – kind of kept looking at Viggo as if he was wondering if he should be telling it this way or not …. I think Viggo did suggest her and Ed knew that Viggo and AG were lovers or at least suspected it…
I meet Ariadna Gil in Cigar House in Barcelona, I say you and Viggo are a pair and nice pair I think. She says yes, thank you.
I think they not nice pair, I like it not. I think this is bad or wrong.
I no more like Viggo for this and Ariadna get work as Viggo say so to his friends.
Lupe 2 words of advice to you-1) get a life and quite sticking your nose into others and 2) seek therapy
@Lupe
When did you met Ariadna? Was this recently?
@luthien
If you are so above it all and have a life then why are you on a site about Viggo’s girlfriends? This is a site to speculate about celebrity girlfriends. Lupe has every right to say whatever she wants. If you don’t like it, then don’t come here.

I’m on this site because i happen to be a fan of Viggo Mortensen and one of the other fan sites alerted us to this site and all the gossip that was going on. I could care less what an actor or actress does in there spare time but to gossip without any basis of fact,is cruel. Do you like people to make up gossip and lies about you? How does it feel when someone says something maliciuos to you or about you? If I was so into this gossip don’t ya think I would have replied a long time ago? I know, to many questions for you to actually answer. Do you have kids? How would you feel if their friends spread a rumour about YOU cheating on your husband. Its easy when you have the anonymity of the web for peoples truest and cruelest charcters to come out. One more question, if you actually got to meet Viggo Mortensen face to face would you say some of the harsh things that are being posted on this site?
@ argent
if you are a fool then maybe you will believe lupe but if you are intelligent you will treat her words for what they are – fabrication.
@fofo
the couple who were inseperable at a charity basketball match were the other couple in the article you linked to. you should read things properly and fully before making wild and exaggerated claims.
all the people who argue the case for a romance seem not to read things properly like i said in a previous comment. because you want it to be true you will read into things meanings that are not there like with the video of ed harris and so on and so forth. you cannot accept that you may have been wrong and that is why lupe posts what she does. do you all really think that ariadna would not comment publicly but then tell something like that to a complete stranger in a cigar shop. how convenient. too convenient.
En Barcelona is a Pipe Club, I am member also Ariadna we have meet before in past years y speak in the club. En May I visit the club I see her y we talk. I do not say I hear things but say to her you are a nice couple and she say thank you. nothing more. make not a big thing of it – this happens I think.
@luthien
I responded to your post because you attacked Lupe personally, just like you did me claiming I am stupid. This site is about girlfriends and she was making a comment and has every right to. What she said was not cruel, she just stated she met AG and she said thank you regarding VM.
While we are speaking, how do you know so surely that they are not seeing each other? How could you possibly know this? You can’t unless you are in their inside circle of friends, which I don’t believe for one minute you are.
Children are influenced mostly by their parents and their actions, not by the internet. It’s AG’s divorce that will affect her children, not what we say on some website. If I was lucky enough to meet VM, then I might say something like Lupe, I don’t know it would depend on the situation.
@ZsuZsa
I never said I believed Lupe or not, I just defended her right to speak without being attacked personally. I have my own speculations regarding VM and AG which I have posted, one was to you that you never answered.
@luthien
One more thing all these other VM sites have their speculation pages and AG is mentioned VERY often. I find it very hypocritical to judge other people when you are also speculating on VM’s love life and most of them do, some hide it.
@argent
Do you think highly of people who lie to YOUR face-according to her post thats what she did. How do you know she’s not lying about meeting Ariadna in a cigar shop? You give your trust away awful easily. Do you LIKE to believe the worst in people? Does that make you feel better about yourself?
As far as them seeing each other,thats their business. But to acuse someone of adultry without proof is slander. And if you want to take it a step further, its bearing false witness. Maybe Lupe did meet Ariadna in a cigar shop,I’m betting if she did then Ariadna will read this and find out how decieitful the person is. You have no proof either way, Viggo stated that Ariadna and Christina were Colleges. He chooses not to address false rumours. Thats what he stated in a interview,why keep harping on this subject.
You talk about inside circles, Why do you believe lupe ? And you do believe her or else you wouldn’t be posting yourself. Afterall I also have a right to post MY COMMENTS. I don’t see you defending my right to post. By the way I didn’t call lupe “stupid” I told her she needs to get a life and to seek therapy. Are you sure your not the one calling people stupid? I don’t specutlate on Viggos love life, I just want to know when his next movie will be out. In fact i could care less about Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Gerard Butler, etc.etc,etc love life’s. True others dospeculate about Viggo’s love life,but they don’t do it maliciously, as many on this site have.
@luthien
I do not have to defend your right to post because no one has attacked you. You are the attacker. I did not say you called Lupe stupid. You implied I was, and that I could not answer more than one question at a time. I also said I do not know if Lupe is truthful, none of us do.
As far as the other sites are concerned many do discuss VM and AG and think they are together, so according to you that is speculating on adultery. Many of these sights also do not believe that article either.
Also, do you actually believe AG will read this? I find that hard to believe. By the way I have said many times that I do not think they are together. I just don’t like your posts that assume you are better than everyone else. Yet you are here.
You said other sites alerted you, who are you the internet police?
OUCH!!! I hate confrontations whether they be in person or internet – we all have our opinions and have the freedom to express them but I think we also have a responsibility to be temperate in our expressions of them and to be careful of others.
I guess we need to be more careful about judging anyone, whether it’s Viggo or Ariadna or people on this site. Be at peace with all as much as possible. Forgive me if I have offended anyone.
@argent
Excuse me? You have singled me out and YOU ARE attacking me ,how come lupe hasn’t defended herself ,are you her spokesperson. You seem to be targeting me because I think its stupid to lie to someones face. Thats what lupe did to Ariadna. Yet you defend her behavior. How did you come to this site? I was honest and told you how I came to this site,why don’t you do the same.
I never attacked you until you attacked me.
I didn’t coment on anyone elses post until you got yourself involved. Maybe its your own insecurities you feel that make you think my posts suggest I’m above it all.
If you sence venom in my posts its only in response to the venom in yours.
Once again the other sites speculate, people have the right to do that however the other sites that I have read aren’t so hateful. Furthermore if an actor or actress makes a statement, I take it for what they say. According to you since people don’t believe what they say,why should any of them ever comment to their fans? Whats the point,they’ve already made up their minds so the truth is irrelavent.
As far as you thinking that Ariadna wouldn’t read this, do you know her and her agent? I would think actors and actresses want to know what their fans are thinking. Viggo has stated in several interviews that he does check out the fan sites and what they are saying. as far as being the internet police, where have I reported that your in violation. Once again I responded to Lupe,then you got involved. Seems to me your the internet police.
@Cindy
I agree cindy i don’t enjoy confrontations either but I won’t back down from one. I addressed Lupe not argent, it was argent who attacked my post ,stating I think I’m “better”. Well ya I do think I’m better than Lupe,I don’t go lying to peoples faces. Is that a bad thing?
