The cinema has hundreds of legendary objects and it is very common for actors to keep many of them. For example, Ryan Reynolds has several Deadpool costumes and Charlie Hunnam even took home Jax Teller’s motorcycle in Sons of Anarchy. Needless to say, something as iconic as Andúril from The Lord of the Rings ended up in Viggo Mortensen’s house.
The actor continued his life as an actor after Aragorn in The Lord of the Rings. participated in Until the end of the world (In The Dead Don’t Hurt) from 2023 and you should know that it wasn’t just… because he took Andúril herself for a small cameo. You weren’t crazy, you saw her!
It’s not a secret. Many fans of The Lord of the Rings They caught the cameo of the sword on the fly and even Viggo Mortensen himself confirmed it in several interviews. The film is a western, but there is a scene (minute 1:13:30) in which a knight errant appears and they needed a sword… and needless to say, the actor offered his own. Although he didn’t just take them, since they had to ask Peter Jackson for permission:
Everything was fine and then I said: “well, but we should have a sword.” I looked around and I had some and I thought, “it might be good to use this one I have because it’s a really good sword.” But I knew I would have to ask permission because I was sure someone would notice, even if you only saw her for a few seconds. […]
I asked Peter Jackson if that would be okay and he asked me if it was very important to the story. I said no, it really wasn’t, it was barely visible, but someone would probably notice. He said it was fine with him, but he should ask the film company. So I contacted them and they agreed.
And of course the fans noticed. For example, the usuario Geth777 de Reddit shared a publication with an image that shows the scene and how Andúril is clearly seen in the sheath, tied to the horse. And we are looking at one of the most iconic swords in cinema along with legends like Excalibur, for example.
