I've always wondered if Viggo and Orlando ever did any interview together. Turns out they at least did one! Found in the Russian edition of Bravo from January 2004, an interview I think was conducted sometime around Oct-Nov 2003. Viggo, Orlando and Elijah were interviewed together.

New York, Regency Hotel on the prestigious Park Avenue. Elijah Wood appears first. We have to wait for the cute Orlando Bloom and the cool Viggo Mortensen. [The reporter chats with Elijah while waiting.] At this moment the door opens quietly and Viggo and Orlando enter. Viggo: Sorry! Orlando: Yes, please forgive us! We were chatting over lunch… BRAVO. No worries! We were just talking about the Internet! Orlando: Oh God! I can’t say anything here, I’ve never had a computer. BRAVO: How do you get fan mail then? O: What I love most is regular, handwritten letters. V: Me too. Most of all I like handwritten letters. Already from the handwriting one can learn something about the character of the sender. BRAVO: Elijah, you are very close to Sam in the film… Elijah: What??? Okay, now I can pull the skeleton out of the closet: we are gay (laughs). The relationship between Frodo and Sam is very important to the film because without Sam's help, Frodo would never have made it to Mount Doom. V: And without Aragorn, Frodo would have died in the first part! (Laughs.) O: And without Legolas it wouldn't be entertaining at all. Isn't it great how I killed a huge elephant in the third part, or what? BRAVO: Orlando, were you really allowed to keep Legolas' bow? O: Peter Jackson, the director, gave each of us a gift from the set. I received my quiver and a bow, but Legolas's real bow broke on the penultimate day of shooting so I have a completely different one! V: As befits a true King of Gondor, I have kept Aragorn's crown for myself. E: But what could be cooler than the “ring of all power” that I received?

[Translated with the help of google, so not very exact...]

Love, LOVE that V&O apparently were out eating lunch together, eating, chatting, losing track of time. Enjoying spending time together too much, having infinite things to talk about, staring deep into each other's eyes...

Also love that they have all these things in common. For one, this whole "hating the internet" and "refusing to have a phone" they both professed for many years. Instead they want to write very long letters (to each other). Probably written in the most beautiful style, and, for Viggo, including lots of art. While Orlando's are long, written quickly but full of sincere emotions and little hearts doodled everywhere.

These two have a lot more in common than you might think at first glance.

forever mad that legolas in pj's trilogies was watered down to basic stereotypical mysterious stoic slightly confused brooding blonde elf instead of the whimsical quippy silly guy we see in the books who jokes about grabbing the sun from the sky to warm his mortal friends and screams when he sees a balrog :/
