'11
I avoided writing about the promotional rounds for A Dangerous Method at the Toronto Film Festival because my Michael Fassbender wasn’t there. He had to pull out of the promotion at the last minute to run back to Venice and collect his Best Actor trophy! So Viggo Mortensen and Keira Knightley were in Toronto to represent the film. It’s not that I dislike either of them – okay, well, Keira plucks my nerves sometimes, but I give her the benefit of the doubt more than some people. Viggo just seems kind of bland to me these days. He’s nice and everything, but with the Fassdong hanging around, who can pay attention to Viggo? Alas, Vincent Cassel didn’t come to Toronto either. Boo!
So, it was the Viggo and Keira Show, and my, don’t they look friendly. They looked very touchy-feely and friendly during the Venice round too, I just never mentioned it because… you know, The Fassdong. But here they are, giving each other little looks and holding hands. Do I think they’ve ever boned? I don’t know. I think Viggo might be friendly with everybody, and maybe he’s just trying to get the always-morose Keira to brighten up and smile. Or maybe he’s trying to get into her pants. I have no idea. I do know that Keira brought her boyfriend, James Righton, to Toronto. Keira started up with James about two seconds after she and Rupert Friend split.
Keira wore a colorful Wren dress for the press conference and photo call, and then she switched into the pinkish-beige lace Elie Saab for the Toronto premiere. I like the colorful Wren – Keira’s “casual-wear” has been very good lately. The Elie Saab is kind of meh to me. It reminds me of the spectacular gold lace Valentino she wore in Venice, but the comparison isn’t fair to the Saab. The Valentino was a revelation – the Saab looks like a doily.
Keira, Viggo, Fassbender and Cronenberg also covered the most recent issue of The Hollywood Reporter. The story is just the insider-industry version of how the film got made – you can read it here. There’s also a new poster for the film, with Keira’s big head still dominating everything. MORE FASSBENDER, PLS.

She looks healthier than she used to, right?

Viggo Mortensen does nothing for me unless he has a manly stubble fit for a king of Gondor.
Kiera Knightly does nothing for me, never has and never will. She just looks snobby.

Answer: ME!
As much as I like The Fassbender, I’d still choose Viggo Mortensen over him.
That is a (soon to be) 53-year-old man, for crying out loud!
We can only hope The Fass will age that well.
P.S.: I mean that in case IF I had to choose between them — I’d take both if I could.

I think its those kind of dresses (short and wide) where the woman who wears it should have skinny/lean killer legs to render the whole look beautifully.
It makes her look a little bit stumpy. Kate Middleton type of figure would be more beautiful in it.

Yes I know those heels are tall but now I’m depressed seeing how tiny Viggo Mortensen is.
Is ANY man in Hollywood taller than my pet hamster?

Love Keira Knightly! She looks great too. She can dress really hit or miss.
I think she looks a lot healthier because she carries her weight on her lower half, and because this shows off her legs, we can see she isn’t too skinny.

@ Atlantapug:
Mortensen is 5’11″…I know that’s not super tall but it’s not short either.
By the way, Knightley is 5’7″ (if not more).

Yeah, I’m not crazy about the doily dress, but I do like the print Wren dress.

The bob is super cute, she looks great in Vintage-esque clothing and she wasn’t in this year’s POTC movie – an all-round win!

atlantapug – Hugh Jackman is 6’2″ and Liev Schreiber is 6’3″ (I also like tall men).
The dress isn’t bad, it’s just too close in colour to her skin tone, I think.
LOVE Viggo! I’ll take him any day.

I don’t care about Keira, but Viggo is starting to look really old.

They both look fantastic.
They both have also always seemed like nice people to me, and I love how KK called out the studios for always fiddling with promo materials and posters and photoshopping her bigger breasts.

Oh Laura, I hope you are only 20 or something, because I think VM looks terrific.

The Wren dress is beautiful. As for the Saab dress, it just looks like she found it in her grandmother’s closet, dust it off and made a few alterations to it.

I love the bob on Keira but the lacy dress…nah. And she really never gains and ounce in her boobs does she? I’m glad she hasn’t succumbed to bolt-ons though.

Old lesbian’s daughter drags out Great Gran’s wedding dress. Seems it’s been devoured by moths. Then stored underwater.
Dreadful. Those are the ugliest sleeves ever.

I will gladly pay attention to Viggo!
atlantapug – I like tall men too so I’ll add a few more to @the original bellaluna’s list:
Clive Owen is 6′ 2″
Vincent Cassel and Daniel Day Lewis are both 6′ 1.5
Colin Firth and Robert Pattinson are both 6′ 1
Timothy Olyphant is 6′
And who can forget ASkars at 6’4″!

I love seeing some much needed weight on Keira Knightly!
SHE looks great, her styling not so much. A better wig and a different dress would help her look so much better.

What? Girl, Fassdong can never beat Viggodong, ever. But i still can’t wait to see Fassdong in Jane Eyre. The trailer looks pretty good.
And i think Keira looks absolutely adorable, and she seems healthier too, glowing, you know?

I think all her extra weight went straight to her stumpy legs,so not appealing.

the first pic, where she has her other hand clenched in a fist i thought “poor girl, she is freaking out!” and viggo is holding her hand. i think he is trying to relax her.
she has talked before about how nervous she gets for press and how anxious she is, so i think it makes sense that her co star is being kind and trying to help her out. he seems like a great guy
also- maybe they did bone

She can pull off the vintage lace thing. I think she looks just fine and i love her hair. It really fits her.

i have always been a fan of KK’s casual style….its the english in her, i think. english people have the best street style, IMO. that bob suits her! i would have preferred a colored shoe….maybe a deep plum or maroon shade? just not a fan on nude patent.

@ Atlantapug:
Yes, 5’7″ is a pretty good height, plus she’s wearing really high heels.
Mortensen looked too elegant as Aragorn to be a short man (they would have needed a lot of trickery to make him look “regal” if he didn’t have a good height).
The problem with his looks lately is that haircut, I think. Other than that, he’s looking great for his age, in my opinion.

I usually love Elie Saab but this one misses the mark with me. From the back it’s not too bad. And Vigo=Yum!

@Bella Perect Murder was 15 years ago actually. Man is 53, he looks his age. Still very handsome in my opinion.
Re him being touchy-feely with Keira – he’s that way with eveyone. Haven’t you seen him kissing Cronneberg on the lips in public quite a few times? Or hugging Cassel from the back just a couple of days before in Venice?
BTW he brought his gf (spanish acterss Ariadna Gill) to Toronto, it’s been a year since they went public and it’s the first time she supported him in promo events.

Who is even looking at her with Viggo next to her =) He is the best looking man in Hollywood in my opinion.
She is a beautiful girl but this dress is awful on her/does her no justice. But at least she has put on a few, much needed, pounds.

if Fassdong looks as good as Viggo in 20 years then we’ll talk (that pale skinned, slightly ginger type doesn’t age well let me tell you)
I love Viggo cos he’s not ‘hollywood’ – he does his own shit and amen to that

Viggo is perfect. Just compare him to some puffy-faced, sunglasses-wearers, wig-haired 40somethings in Hollywood ( Johnny Depp anyone? In spite of all my juvenile love for him).
Keira is lovely and looking great with a few more pounds on.
Creepy how thin is never thin enough and slender immediately becomes fat. Kate Middleton’s legs? Are you sure? I think Keira’s are just normal, but we aren’t used to average womanly bodies anymore.
Sad.

I was wondering why she is forever holding onto Viggo. Not that I care about an answer, but it seems she’s played the pale frail female card. She’s none of those

She doesn’t have any extra weight, it’s just that you can see her legs, which is where she happens to carry her weight.
She has a beautiful face, but the way she carries it around like a bobble-headed doll on the end of her neck, makes me stabby. Her mother does the exact same thing, so I assume it is genetic.

I was at that premier and the dress looked fantastic, and Keira looked terrific – way healthier than I’d thought she would. Plus, Viggo was stunning. He’s not tiny, but he’s very… lithe.

She looks SO much better with some more weight on her. Viggo appears a lot older and more washed out than I remember him. I’m just stuck on that Aragorn image I guess.
