Sir Viggo Mortensen!!

Tomorrow, April 16th it's our Queen Margrethe 2nd 's 70 years old birthday.

She will make him a Knight of Dannebrog (a very fine Danish order). He will get the Dannebrog Cross.

So now we can call him Sir Viggo.

Here is the link to Ekstra Bladet. I'm sorry I don't have time to translate it until Sunday.

Here is Sir Viggo. Ridder = Knight in Danish.



I'm sure his parents (especially his father and of course Aunt Tulle) will be very proud of him. It's an honour to get this order.

Good news, Vigs.


I shall practice my curtsey!

!!WOW!! TERRIFIC NEWS!! It's simply the best new's that I have heard for a long long time, it could'nt go to a more wonderful man. Viggo really deserves the award.

Look here!
The Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen has just been in audience today to thank Queen Margrethe for his Knight cross (the order). It's the same Viggo gets.

Here is my translation:

In audience with Queen Margrethe:
Knight cross to Mads Mikkelsen.
From the casino table with James Bond as adversary to the Queen’s castle. The James Bond scoundrel Mads Mikkelsen walks around as at home both places but it was a humble Mads Mikkelsen who today thanked Queen Margrethe for the Knight cross (the order).
The Danish movie star was one of the many persons who today were in audience with the Queen where a rare humble Mads Mikkelsen thanked the Queen.
- I was happy to receive the Knight cross? I dammed only said “yes” at once. It’s an honour. And she was particular a kind lady, said Mads Mikkelsen to Ekstrabladet (Danish newspaper) after the audience.
Text to the pic:
A proud Mads Mikkelsen shows the cross to people.

I don't know this Mikkelsen but I am very proud to hear of Viggo getting this tribute.

I'm sorry but I haven't found anything yet. But as soon as I find a pic/article where Viggo shows his knight cross I will post it here.

Wonderful news! I am proud to call him my favorite actor!

Welcome PhaedraK! How nice of you to join our sparse little group. Hope you stick around.

Thank you

Hi there phaedraK, lovely to have you here! Enjoy yourself!

Welcome phaedraK! Hope to see you around alot!

Cant wait to see pics of Viggo and the knight cross!!!!!!!!!

Me neither, Pam!
But I still haven't found anything about it. I guess he is too busy right now to go and thank the Queen for the order just like Mads Mikkelsen did. A lot of celebrities received the order at her birthday: Actors/actress', singers, musicians, people in the sports world, authors, artists/craftsmen (-women) and also clever businessmen - many people.

Hope he finds time soon...we need a Viggo fix!

Look what I have found a few minutes ago!!

Viggo has visited Queen Margrethe 2nd today to thank her for the Knights Cross.

I will translate it later.

It's really fantastic to see Viggo receiving his award, he very much deserve's the recognition, Viggo is looking so very smart and oh so very GORGEOUS, I am very proud for Viggo, and very happy for him and his family.
