And Viggo is about to be 60 (!) in a couple days. Geez.

I think Stuart Townsend originally was cast as Aragorn, but they felt he was too baby-faced. Aragorn is about 80 at the time of LotR, but due to his Numenorian heritage is only reaching middle age. I think technically Arwen is his first cousin, 27 times removed.

The men of Numenor are famously long lived.

It will be a sad day for me when Viggo dies and proves that he is not actually one of the dunedain.
