As stories go, this is pretty odd, Mr Mortenson, star of the Lord Of The Rings franchise amongst others was seemingly arrested in Washington DC after causing some consternation at the Airport. This was not the usual drunk actor going off the rails, Viggo was just celebrating the result in the Argentinian League game between San Lorenzo and Newells Old Boys, his team San Lorenzo, won 3-2. The locals weren't too enamoured by the jubliant and squawking star and the cops intervened.
Here is the game if you missed it..
Here it is in Viggo's words..
"A half hour of our departure from Dulles Airport in Washington, DC I'm watching the game against Newell's on the computer, near the gate for our plane. And suddenly Romagnoli makes magic running down the left wing, and gives a last chance to Gigliotti, who had already failed twice to win this very clear incredible. I scream
GOOOOOOOOOOOLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! with all my heart and I start to hit jumps around like a frightened deer between passengers and their luggage PIPI!! !!!! PIPI!! PIPIIII! "
"People do not understand what is happening, does not understand why I'm screaming and jumping, do not know if screaming PIPI! Over and over again means that I have pissed on, or if I've hurt in some way. A gentleman with the U.S. Army military uniform, probably just returned from Iraq or Afghanistan gets up and quickly comes up to me saying 'Cool it, man! Easy now.what' s wrong, what happened???. "Neither case, I say shouting the goal, and he insists: 'CALM DOWN SIR!'
"I'll be back running to my computer screen repeating 'GOL GOL GOL.!' To make sure that is true, to see if we hold the 3-2 minutes more. As I stopped screaming and just look at the computer, I that the military moves away and sits down. The other passengers are also calming, and some laugh a little. "
"All but one which is German - or Austrian or Swiss - who asks me if I'm Victor Mortensen. I say yes. Fussbal!, He says with a smile, approaching the compu to see which party is. Ha fussbal, I say. San Lorenzo de Almagro fussbal. I say. This I understand, the menos.Argentinien, ja? Yes, sir. Argentina, First Division. Buenos Aires. Almost The game is finished. (. almost finished the game, I say) I leave a gap to see me the last few minutes. "
"When 30 seconds have passed the 4 minutes added by the referee, two airport security police type grab me and keep me from the computer, saying. 'Sir, what is WRONG with you???' The Germanic but look to friend leave it free. I depart from the computer and people. I keep hearing comments from Channel 7, they say. 'comeback victory histórica.gran ...' The police ask me for my passport, boarding pass I ask a lot of things. I tell them nothing happens, that forgiveness but I am watching a football game and my team just put a very important goal, which almost ended the game. As I ask questions and look at my I try to view documents over their shoulders what happens on the computer, to see if the match is 3 to 2. ends and I want to cry victory, but I know for me right now with these types revisándome. Finally let me free after telling me that if I start screaming again not going to allow me to fly and will take from the airport. fussbal friend approaches them timidly towards the end of the warnings and says, pointing to 'Das ist Victor Mortensen. Victor Mortensen der Schauspieler. He is the actor. I is Victor Mortensen. King Aragorn. '"
"The police do not give ball. They look at me a moment longer and then appears to be the boss tells me 'Keep the noise down, sir.' ('Do not make more noise, sir') walk 20 meters and are watching in case anything happens to me anymore. When they see that all is well and I feel quietly leave. turns out that the friend is Swiss. I speak a little of the great victory yesterday in Switzerland from 5 to 3 against Germany in a friendly was played in Basel. Another historic victory. could haberles thrashed further tells me his friend. "
"Now I'm flying, physically and mentally in the clouds as all crows. What a relief! Party key, Total feat. Our full court, the fans support yet, believing in miracles. And he did. A miracle of the most cute. After the terrible defeat against Union had no margin. Buffarini Great, great all. Huge. remain 3 more matches, 3 end. Yes, you can. can. "
