Viggo Mortensen’s dedication to Aragorn is unmatched. He refused hotels to live in a tent, hand-stitched his own costume, and was even stopped by police for carrying his sword everywhere. He didn't just act in Lord of the Rings, he genuinely lived as a Ranger.

To truly bond with Aragorn’s sword, Viggo Mortensen never separated from it, even after his stunt training sessions ended. One day, in an industrial warehouse district in Wellington, the capital of New Zealand, he started walking toward his car after a long day of action and stunt rehearsals. Still completely immersed in his character, he was swinging his sword in the air as he walked down the street, practicing offensive and defensive moves against imaginary Orcs and Uruk-hai.

The Police Intervention: When local citizens saw a scruffy-looking man acting wildly with a massive, real steel sword in the middle of the street, they panicked. Naturally, they reported him to the police, saying, "There's a maniac with a sword on the street!" Within a short time, police units pulled Mortensen over. However, once they realized the man in front of them was the lead actor of The Lord of the Rings and was simply rehearsing for his role, the situation was resolved amicably. The officers politely warned Mortensen, saying, "Please don't swing your sword around like this in public places, you are scaring people," and let him go.

What Did Viggo Mortensen Say About It?

Mortensen later laughingly recalled the incident in an interview: "It’s true that local law enforcement asked me not to walk around the city swinging my sword. After a rehearsal in Wellington, I was walking down the street, making sword moves against imaginary Orc and Uruk-hai enemies in my head. Apparently, this caused a bit of concern in the community."

Let’s not forget when a man who looked exactly like David Schwimmer was caught on CCTV stealing beer, and Schwimmer responded by hilariously recreating the footage himself. One of the internet’s greatest celebrity reactions. 🍺😂

Your first meme was probably a Chuck Norris fact. Mine was. He died yesterday in Hawaii at 86, ten days after posting a video of himself throwing punches on his birthday. His caption: “I don’t age. I level up.” This is a little tribute.

The real Chuck Norris was wilder than any meme about him. He lost his first three karate tournaments, then went 65-5 over the next decade. Six-time undefeated world middleweight karate champion. Black belts in five different disciplines. First person ever inducted into the Black Belt Hall of Fame, and the only martial artist to be named to it three separate times.

His student Steve McQueen told him to try acting. That led to a fight scene opposite Bruce Lee in Way of the Dragon (1972), which became the highest-grossing film in Hong Kong that year. Then Walker, Texas Ranger ran 9 seasons on CBS, 194 episodes, broadcast in over 100 countries.

But his biggest cultural moment started with a college freshman’s joke. In 2005, a Brown University student named Ian Spector built a random fact generator on the Something Awful forums. It was originally about Vin Diesel. When the novelty faded, Spector ran a poll with 12 celebrity options. Chuck Norris wasn’t on the list. He won anyway, by write-in landslide.

By early 2006, the Chuck Norris Fact Generator was pulling 20 million pageviews a month. This was before Twitter existed, before Facebook was public, before YouTube had a single viral hit. A college kid’s joke website about a semi-retired action star became one of the most visited humor pages on the internet. It spawned six books (some hit the New York Times bestseller list), two video games, and a scene in The Expendables 2 where Sylvester Stallone’s character recites a Chuck Norris fact to Chuck Norris’s face.

When asked about his favorite fact, Norris said it was: “They tried to carve Chuck Norris’ face into Mount Rushmore, but the granite wasn’t hard enough for his beard.”

The meme ran for 21 years. Most memes last weeks. Chuck Norris Facts introduced more people to Chuck Norris than his movies ever did. For everyone born after 1995, he was never an aging action star or a karate champion. He was the guy who counted to infinity. Twice. The guy whose tears cure cancer, too bad he never cried.

The last thing the internet saw from Chuck Norris was him throwing punches on his 86th birthday. Which is, honestly, the most Chuck Norris fact of all.

When Gandalf first appears in Fangorn Forest, his voice briefly sounds like Saruman.

How they did it:
- Ian McKellen (Gandalf) and Christopher Lee (Saruman) both recorded the line.
- Each tried to imitate the other’s voice.
- The editors blended the two recordings so the voice shifts from Saruman to Gandalf.

They also briefly composited Christopher Lee’s eyes onto Ian McKellen’s face in the first shots.

The goal was to make the audience feel the same uncertainty as Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli before the reveal.

Ben neden İsviçre çakısı gibi olmak zorundayım? Neden kendi alanımda uzmanlaşamıyorum? Niye koşabilmem yetmiyor da uçmam bekleniyor? Hem sahip olduğum yeteneklerim köreldi hem de üç kuruş bir işe layık olabilmek için çabalamaktan bıktım. Bu da politiktir misal.
