Viggo Mortensen says the n word during Green Book Q&A

Was at a screening for #GreenBook—the movie is amazing, but at the Q&A after Viggo Mortensen just dropped the N Word and the oxygen immediately left the room. #movies

During a Q&A for Green Book, a movie about classical pianist Don Shirley, who was black, and his white chauffeur touring the American deep south during the Jim Crow era Mortensen dropped the n word.

There's no vid (yet) but apparently after getting a question about race he said "No one really says n****r anymore".

Was there too. He kept going off on tangents that were not clearly thought out. Really a disservice to the film.

i was there too and it was horrifying. it should never be said, but it didn't serve a purpose in his answer so it was incredibly unnecessary and offensive? He was also answering a question about race that wasn't really addressed to him. Idk why the audience didn't react more.

I’m sorry you feel that way. It was somewhat disturbing in the moment. The craziest part is how he was saying (paraphrasing) that “progress is slow, for instance, no one says n——- anymore.” The irony is insane and it came out of nowhere.

WHEW.

lol love the icon choice ;)

what a TRIP of a sentence omfg

Nooooo whyyyyy

...what on earth

well that's a way to derail an oscar campaign

It shouldn't affect Mahershala and he's the main one with the buzz, thank goodness. I just read actually that they are thinking of boosting him to Lead Actor status--this might actually help him.

I'm not in any way surprised.

Yeah, sadly me neither. He's been acting like more and more of a dick since around 2016. The only reason more people aren't aware of it is cause he's generally living a low key life in Spain.

Yup, his shtick was charming in 2003 when he was playing Aragorn and was just this quirky poet/musician/actor. 2016 Viggo made me realize how insufferably pretentious and out of touch he really is and that that shit was never cute.

I wonder if he has a substance abuse problem?

Yeah. Everyone in the LotR fandom went nuts for his schtick but you could tell there was an old out of touch white man waiting to be let out.

Yup. I used to stan but he's an asshole.
At least aragorn remains flawless.

i knew there was something fishy about him lol. what a tragedy, i liked his acting a lot. oh well, another one bites the dust.

WHAT THE FUCK VIGGO?

been side-eyeing this fool since i saw him on tv in spain talking about how hilary and trump are equally bad

That narrative is such insane right wing horse shit

I remember years ago when I discovered that he was a full-on Republican and Bush supporter. Was the one of the first of my LotR crushes to crash and burn.

He was never a Republican or Bush supporter. He actually talked a lot of crap about him and was super against the Iraq War.

He’s a hardcore leftist/3rd party person like Susan Sarandon

I don't think he is anymore, I've checked out his publishing house's catalogue and there's all these left-wing books, including anti-bush stuff

Trust no white man. People never learn.

Viggo endorsed Jill Stein on the Colbert show, right before the 2016 election. Total DB.

Goddamn it.

Pero Viggo ¿por qué?
Dumbass.

Bradley Cooper’s Oscar campaign is RELENTLESS

OMG the amount of Oscar pundits who are jumping in to defend this because they want their fave to get an Oscar nom is embarrassing. I generally like Sasha Stone but she jumped into this guys comments and was like "WHO ARE YOU EVEN???"

sasha stone always gets into fights with twitter randos it's actually exhausting to read her feed

Of fucking course she would

damn i remember like 6 or 7years ago i used to follow her religiously and be on her website EVERDAY commenting but there are so many oscar websites now that i stopped following her on twitter and haven't been to her site in ages and it's all /anynothingofvalueislost and amazing

lmao she fucking would. shes completely lost it.

sasha always brings the drama for the movies she loves and I love it hahah always so funny

AAAAAAHHHH STAHP!!!

ALLY DID THAT!

he'll be fine tbh

yes

Also I just saw this in response to S*sha St*ne:

I was there last night too and it was by far the most bizarre and uncomfortable moment I’ve ever witnessed at a Q&A. He went on a mini rant about taking power away from the word and shouted it to make a point. The audience went silent. One woman behind me reacted vocally.

I hope this blows to a bigger story bc this sounds insane.

She's such an embarrassment. WTF is that tweet? Who are you? Like... she's an Oscar blogger.

what on earth?

wtf

"WHO ARE YOU AND WHY DO YOU CARE THAT SOMEONE SAID A RACIAL SLUR??????"

Film twitter was a mistake.

White people, I swear.

Does she even realize how much she sucks as human? She should stick to hanging out with her BFF Jeff Wells.

They're bffs? Everything makes sense.

LOL speaking of Jeff Wells and SS did you ever read that post he made about how he almost got married? I was cackling so hard, he's such an asshole.

what the fuck, viggo

JFC.

Who gives a fuck who he is? The point is what Viggo said. What the fuck, seriously?

I think she still stans Woody Allen. I know she's ranted about how you have to separate the art from the artist BS.

Sasha is so god damn dense

She literally responded to someone saying that being called racist on twitter is like being in Salem at a witch hunt. I have no idea who this woman is but I’m blocking her so I never have to find out

zodgory Expand

Her dumbass literally said she felt like a person in Salem in the 1600s due to the response to this tweet. What a dumb fuck.

JESUS CHRIST :O you really can't like any white men can you ://

Viggo, why you disappoint?

Goddamnit, VIGGO
