Viggo Mortensen, who most famously played Aragorn in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, frightened fellow passengers at Dulles International Airport in Washington D.C. last Sunday when he started screaming. Having grown up in Argentina, Mortensen is an avid fan of the San Lorenzo soccer team, but he got a little too excited while watching a pivotal game on his laptop. When a player named Pipi scored a goal, his reaction attracted the attention of airport security, who dragged him away for questioning. Mortensen later described the incident, writing on the San Lorenzo website: “I screamed GOAAAAAAL with all my soul, and started jumping around the place like a frightened deer among the passengers and their suitcases,” he wrote. “People can’t understand why am I screaming ”PIPI!’ over and over again, and whether it’s because I’ve pissed myself or maybe I got hurt someway.” He further explained, “In the last extra 4 minutes added by the referee, two police men grab me and take me away from the computer, saying ‘Sir, what is WRONG with you???’ The cops ask for my passport and boarding pass, they ask me lots of questions. I tell them that it’s OK, that I’m sorry, that I’m watching a soccer match and my team has just scored a very important goal and the match is about to end.” Security threatened to throw Mortensen out of the airport, but after he apologized and promised to retain his composure, he was released with no further incident. ~Stacy Raivich
