Viggo Mortensen shows off a caramel-blonde coif in Venice: would you hit it?

Here are some photos of Viggo Mortensen and Reda Kateb at the Venice Film Festival photocall for Loin des Hommes, or Far From Men. Viggo seems to be doing these somewhat odd little indie films exclusively the past few years – I barely remember the last time he did a big studio picture (for the money). Viggo looks pretty good here, although I swear he lightened his hair. Did he use Sun-In or something? Just For Men: Caramel Blonde? He’s got light brown hair naturally and considering he’s 55 years old (!!!), he’s probably got a lot of grey. Hey, maybe the caramel blonde Aniston-hair is for another movie.

As for this film… it looks sort of interesting. It’s based on a story by Albert Camus about a teacher (played by Viggo) tasked with helping an Algerian villager get to safety because the villager (played by Reda Kateb) killed his own cousin. It’s set in 1954, with the backdrop of the French-Algerian War. Viggo speaks French throughout the entire film too, which makes him one of the most multilingual actors working today. Variety points out that Viggo has done films in English, Danish, Spanish, Lakota and Elvish already. Here’s a trailer for Frenchie Viggo in Far From Men:

It looks decent and poignant but it also looks… I don’t know, like it’s probably not for me. I doubt I’m the target audience. Sigh… I guess I’ll just look at photos of Viggo’s Aniston Hair.
