1) Viggo Mortensen’s broken toe

Viggo Mortensen broke two toes while filming a scene in The Two Towers. He kicked a helmet in frustration during Aragorn’s moment of grief after discovering what he thought were the remains of Merry and Pippin. Instead of stopping, he channeled the pain into the scene. His agonized scream was real and stayed in the final cut. This moment made Aragorn’s emotional turmoil feel raw and genuine. Mortensen’s commitment gave the scene a sense of realism that made it unforgettable for audiences.
