Viggo Mortensen famously lost a tooth filming The Lord of the Rings trilogy, but he gained something much better. He took home Aragorn’s legendary sword Andúril. The actor hasn’t left his valuable collectible to just hang on a wall, though. Mortensen recently used Aragorn’s sword in his new Western The Dead Don’t Hurt.
Viggo Mortensen confirmed to British GQ that he re-used the same sword he wielded as Aragorn in The Lord of the Rings in his new movie. Viewers can see the sword briefly appear during a scene reminiscent of a knight in battle. Don’t worry about him getting in any legal troubles for this steel-y cameo. He said he got permission from both Peter Jackson and the studio to use the sword, which he said he wanted to film with because it’s “really good.”
We can’t argue with that. Or at least we can’t so long as he doesn’t accidentally break Andúril while shooting. There are no elven smiths in the Wild Wild West to fix it this time.
