But that didn't stop the media from gleefully spreading the too-juicy-to-ignore gossip. It can't be a good sign that so many were willing to cast doubts on Bloom's virility. There might not be a hero crisis yet. [...] Director Peter Jackson originally tapped a not-yet-30 Stuart Townsend to portray worldly warrior Aragorn in his "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. But it quickly became apparent that the actor was too unseasoned.Jackson instead went with Viggo Mortensen, an unsung supporting player. But not anymore. Thanks to Jackson, who was man enough to own up to his mistake, a studly star was born." | here |
