What Do We Think Of Viggo Mortensen's Defense About Playing A Gay Character?

Viggo Mortensen is coming under fire for playing a gay man in his directorial debut Falling. However, his response to this criticism calls on audiences to question their have assumptions. Does he have a point? Is this self-serving spin? Can it be both?

Let&#;s dig in.

Written and directed by Mortensen, Falling centers on a homophobic father (Lance Henriksen) moving in with his gay son (Mortensen), who lives in Los Angeles. Cultures clash.

In her review out of TIFF, Kayleigh expressed concern that the star of Green Book could write/direct a movie that wouldn&#;t be &#;a condescending co-opting of the lives and struggles of the marginalized, mostly to use as a series of cheap punchlines for the token bigot character.&#; However, she assured us Falling dodges that pitfall (but it manages to be underwhelming all the same.)

As Falling begins its European rollout, Mortensen has been asked about his decision as a straight actor to perform a gay character. Here&#;s what he told The Times (via IndieWi

Viggo Mortensen responds to criticism over gay role: &#;You’re assuming I’m completely straight&#;

Viggo Mortensen has responded to criticism over his decision to cast himself as a gay man in his upcoming film Falling.

The Lord of the Rings and Green Book star is making his debut as writer and director with the film, about a married gay dude who takes care of his conservative and homophobic father after he starts to exhibit symptoms of dementia.

Mortensen stars as head character John, with Lance Henricksen as his father, Terry Chen as his husband, and Laura Linney as his sister.

But Mortensen&#;s decision to cast himself as a gay man has led to criticism, given ongoing backlash in Hollywood over straight, cisgender actors taking LGBTQ roles.

Speaking with Britain&#;s The Times, Mortensen clapped back at such criticism, noting that while it&#;s &#;healthy&#; to confer LGBTQ representation, his decision to play a gay man wasn&#;t a &#;gimmick.&#;

&#;Look, these are the times we&#;re living in, and I think it&#;s healthy that those issues are brought up,&#; Mortensen

Genetics can be so cruel. I went to high school with a establish of triplets--one was a gorgeous girl, one was a gorgeous boy, and one was an awkward and plain looking doofus.

Henry's always been pudgy and unfortunate looking. That his father is sex on a stick only exacerbates this.

Kudos to Viggo for trusting his former partner enough to claim that troll baby as his own.
