Mentor
How lucky can you get your guardian angel in your life? So many people cannot find theirs through all their lives. And how many people miss their guardian angels in just normal life? Almost all of us.
Knowing there is a person who will always care about you and always love you and always come for you whenever it is and wherever you are, is so happy, and so lucky, and is the best thing you've had.
It doesn't mean you've got the brightest star in the universe. It means, you've got the whole universe.
Viggo put up with a lot of stuff from me... in so many ways I looked up to him. He was like a mentor to me."~ TTT Cast Commentary
Viggo容忍了我的很多事…在很多方面, 我很崇敬他。他就像是我的导师一样。 ~ TTT Cast Commentary
Viggo. He's like a hero of mine now. Such a generous actor, such a fantastic guy to work with. You know, he's so brilliant, his attention to detail, his focus and his work ethic, the way he kind of puts everything he's got into his role. He was great, 'cause this was my first experience on a film and he was just a fantastic guide. - FOTR commentary
Viggo. 他现在就好像是我的英雄。那么慷慨的演员，那么棒的工作伙伴。你知道，他是那么的卓越，他对细节的注重，他的专注和职业素养，他那样地全情投入角色之中。他非常棒，因为这是我第一次的拍戏经验而他是那么棒的向导。- FOTR commentary
Orlando says, "Viggo became like a mentor to me. He's a very spiritual guy who never gets angry about anything. We'd sit next to each other for a couple or hours each morning in a make-up truck. You get to know someone that way, more than by being in scenes with them."Viggo would be very relaxed and always extremely polite to everyone. He taught me to enjoy the moment.“
"I was playing an elf, with the costume, the ears and a bow in my hand. I felt invincible. We were filming in a beautiful part of the world, so Viggo would tell me just to look around, realise how lucky I was and enjoy it for what it was. He wasn't concerned about what came next."
Orlando说：“Viggo就像我的导师一样。他是一个很Spiritual*的人，从来不会对任何事情感到生气。每天早上好几个小时，我们并肩坐在化妆车里。你能通过那样的方式了解一个人，这远比一起拍戏更能让你了解他们。
“Viggo很放松，对所有人总是很有礼貌。他教我要去享受这一刻。”
“我扮演一位精灵，穿上戏服，戴着耳朵，手里握着弓。我觉得自己所向无敌。我们在这世界一个美丽的地方进行拍摄，Viggo会叫我看看四周，好好感受一下自己是多么幸运，并要我好好享受这一切。他不在意接下来会发生什么。”
Spiritual person很难用一个词语替代。怕解释不清楚误导人所以就不解释了。
With the Pirates movies Orli's face became finally familiar to the big public. During his short movie career the young actor has got himself in a tough company: workmates have been Johnny Depp, Viggo Mortensen and in Troy that's completed next year Brad Pitt. Biggest impact for the young actor was Viggo, who Orlando calls his mentor.He has affected so much my life and the way I act. Legolas' role was my first big movie role and I did most of the shooting with Viggo. He shaped much of my acting. In the last filming Viggo wasn't there but when working the scenes I thought often about the conversations I had with him. - DemiMag Finland December 2003
前面记者提到OB和很多演员都合作过。被问到影响他最深的人，OB的答案是VM。OB称VM为他的导师。
OB: 他影响了我很多，我的人生还有我的表演方式。Legolas是我第一个大制作的电影角色，而大多数时候我都是和Viggo一起拍摄的。在很大程度上我的演技受到了他的影响。最后的拍摄，Viggo不在那里，但在拍摄的时候，我时常会想起从前和他的对话。- Demi Mag Finland December 2003
Love him. He was a bit of a mentor for me. It was funny, when I went back for re-shoots, I was on my own and he wasn't sitting there,and I suddenly was sitting in the makeup bus that we'd been driving around in for 18 months in New Zealand and got really emotional and felt that it was kind of weird to be there without him there and sort of reflected on all of the happy conversations and chats and glasses of wine and talks that we would have at the end of the day or whatever.He really had a huge impact on my life as an actor.' Daily Record UK LORD OF THE RINGS WEEK: THE TRUE KINGS OFTHE RING 2003
爱他。他有点像是我的导师。有趣的是，当我回去进行补拍时，我自己一个人，而他没坐在那里。坐在我们在新西兰开了１８个月的化妆巴士里，我突然各种情绪涌上心头，觉得他不在身边的感觉非常奇怪。我回忆起工作结束后我们所有愉快的对话和闲谈、喝着酒聊着天。他真的对于作为演员的我影响很大。Daily Record UK LORD OF THE RINGS WEEK: THE TRUE KINGS OFTHE RING 2003
"He was just so giving and gracious," says 25-year-old actor Orlando Bloom, who recalls Mortensen letting him upstage him in at least one scene. "For a young actor starting out in the film industry, he was the most fantastic education I could have had." Premiere (US), January 2003
“ 他非常慷慨宽厚。”25岁的演员Orlando Bloom说道，当他忆起Mortensen至少一次让他在戏里抢了他的风头。“对于一个刚刚涉足电影圈的的年轻演员，他是我能得到最棒的教育。” Premiere (US),January 2003
It must be a bit hard keeping your head cool when you in a day becomes world famous, and beside from that act next to Elijah Wood, Danish Viggo Mortensen, Johnny Depp and now Brad Pitt, who he is filming another historic movie with, Troy, on Malta."Yeah, it’s totally wild, and sometimes I wake up in the morning and I can’t figure out what’s going on in my life – or where I am. It all went so quickly. Viggo was a good friend from the start; my guardian angel. He looked after me as a brother, and he is a cool person with so many talents. I haven’t had that many scenes with Brad Pitt yet, so I don’t know him very well, but I think he is good at what he does." Vi Unge October 8, 2003
“是的，真的是完全疯狂，有时候我早上醒来都完全搞不清楚我的人生发生了什么- 或者我到底在什么地方。一切发生得太快。Viggo从一开始就是一位非常好的朋友；我的守护天使。他像照顾弟弟那样照顾着我，他是一个很酷又拥有很多才华的人。Vi Unge October8, 2003
Viggo was like a mentor for me, without anything being spoken. I used to sit next to him on the make-up bus, and find myself just staring at him while he was having his make-up done and drawing in his book or writing his notes. I would find myself fascinated. - Legolas Unleashed: OrlandoBloom Hits His Target, lordoftherings.net, December 15, 2003
Viggo就像是我的导师一样，不言而喻。以前在化妆巴士里，我坐在他的旁边，当他在化妆、在书本上画画或写笔记的时候，我发现我就一直看着他。我发现我深深被他吸引了。- Legolas Unleashed: Orlando Bloom Hits His Target, lordoftherings.net, December 15, 2003
Orlando: I hadn't done a movie before LOTR, and then I'm in one of the best movies of all times! It was unbelievable to work with such great people like Viggo.
Orlando：在魔戒之前我没拍过电影，而我现在出演了历年来最好的其中一部电影! 真的难以相信我能和那么杰出的人如Viggo一起工作。
Viggo was the first powerful Hollywood actor I'd met. His ordinariness, attraction as a human being, his attitude toward his personal life, everything gave me strong influence. He was the first actor who made me think I should live like that. To me, as an inexperienced young actor yet,the first senior actor who gave me good influence was Viggo"
Viggo是我遇到的第一个具影响力的好莱坞演员。他平凡的一面，具有的吸引力，他的生活态度，全都带给我很深的影响。他是第一个让我觉得应该像他那样生活的演员。对我来说，作为一名经验不足的年轻演员，Viggo是第一个给我带来良好影响的前辈演员。
Viggo Mortensen from LOTR was also an incredible role model forme. He's a real mentoring-type of guy.Sugar (UK), February 2004
出演魔戒的Viggo Mortensen对我来说是一位非常棒的榜样。他真的是那种很愿意指导别人的人。Sugar (UK), February 2004
“My friendship with Viggo Mortensen and the actors that played the hobbits mean lots to me. I know it sounds a bit cliché but it’s the true! I’ll love them until I die!” Vana Nikolaidou (Greece), February 2004
我和Viggo Mortensen还有和饰演霍比特人的演员之间的友谊对我来说很重要。我知道这听起来像陈腔滥调不过这是真的！直到我死为止，我都会一直爱着他们。”Vana Nikolaidou (Greece), February 2004
其他大同小异的我就不翻译了
1) He was a real mentor to me. He was a huge influence on my life as an actor and as a guy. He just had a real big impact on my life. He has a lot of integrity as an actor and as a human being. He has the diversity with the good and bad, he’s got the whole thing. To work with him and to have him as an influence on my life has been really important.
2) "My ego is fine. I like working with other actors and I feel very fortunate to have shared the stage with Johnny Depp or Viggo Mortensen, who was also an ethical reference for me, "he said - Lapatilla 2011
3) Bloom is still in awe of the caliber of work he is offered, not to mention his co-stars. “I've gotten to work with some of the best in the business — Viggo (Mortensen), Johnny (Depp on Pirates), Brad — and they all go about their craft in their own way. It's been really interesting to observe that and I've learned a lot from watching the people around me - First (Singapore), May 2004
4) Technically, Bloom’s first film role was a small one-liner in the Oscar Wilde bio, Wilde, but The Lord of the Rings is where he learned the ropes of filmmaking. In The Two Towers, when the fellowship is split up and the friends are forced to overcome individual obstacles, Bloom shared significant screen time with Viggo Mortensen (who plays Aragorn). “He was such an incredible role model for me and such an incredible human being. Not just as an actor, but he was a bit of a hero for me. He was amazing at what he did and I learned by watching him” - Flaunt Magazine (US), Summer Reign 2003
5) "I had an incredible time working with Viggo," Bloom says. "I worked very closely with him and he was like a mentor to me, really, chatting, talking about film and just about the day-to-day stuff of getting through making this film. He really influenced the way I approach the work today. He has a lot of integrity in terms of how he approaches it, but he can also have fun with it as well, so it was cool. He taught me a lot." The Toronto Star (Canada), December 12, 2003
6) 'Viggo came late to the project, but he brought a dedication and an understanding of the role that became an example, particularly to the younger cast members. You have to remember that this was Orlando Bloom's first movie. Not only was Viggo valuable in his performance, but he was valuable as a leader of the cast.'- Barrie Osborne Empire, December 2004
