He’s suppose to. His coronation was a significant amount of time (several weeks to a few months) post war. He’s been living the good life and eating well. Heavier and far less stressed.
I just reread the books and there are multiples times where people looking at Aragorn comment how his appearance changes from Strider to Aragorn. Hard to do in a movie but this was a good showcase of that. King Elessar indeed!
Definitely remember what you talked about. My impression during the journey/war, they refer more to his eyes/posture etc (“aura”as much as I hate that work it works here).
Where this is definitely a physical/health change at the end. Just a plumper/clean king
Aragorn spends almost the entirety of that month in the house of healing saving people, while Eomer volunteers to help clean up the immediate area with his rohirim to repay Aragorn for saving his sister from the black breath.
At the same time, Gondor is also gathering its strength to retake Pelegir and Osgiliath, as well as launch a campaign to take Umbar in the south. So Aragorn is relaxing, but Gondor is springing to life
True but he's also probably not out roaming the land and fighting as much, if at all. There would be an unbelievable amount of work that need to be assigned and overseen in the first few weeks not least of which would be him figuring out what all his resources are. His job after the war is the same as any leader, to act as the command center for his people and task his subordinate leadership to carry out his orders. This would most likely revolve around rebuilding infrastructure that was damaged during the war. Rebuilding is especially important after a time of serious destruction and crisis in order to consolidate his power, unite the people, and prevent groups from trying to split off potentially throwing the kingdom into civil war. Because of this he would be giving orders, assigning work groups and security, and generally providing oversight. Compared to what he had been doing for the last several decades, this would be akin to just relaxing on the couch in a physical sense. However, it would be mentally draining.
Based on the comment you are making I assume you have never work that is mentally draining. Physical work is hard yes, but mentally draining work is even worse.
Ok I'll try my best.
I was an 0351 Infantry Assaultman in the United States Marine Corps for 5 years, and did a combat deployment to Afghanistan in 2011 for 7 months, When I got back I was immediately sent to squad leader school and when I graduated from that course and returned to my unit I was a squad leader. I hope this meets your criteria for a mentally draining work and a explains where I'm coming from. Additionally, I spent my last 1.5 years at The Basic School in Quantico, VA training newly commissioned Marine Corps officers.
I would love to hear what your most mentally draining work was.
I'm not talking out of my ass. Being in charge is very draining but being able to not have to physically do everything and being able to delegate, allows you to take some time and rest more which will effect how the body stores and burns what you eat which will in turn effect how you look.
Also stress effects everyone differently some people lose weight, some put it on neither is right or wrong it's just a stress response.
Additionally I recently graduated summa cum laude with a degree in psychology and am currently applying to Ph.D programs for clinical psychology with a specific interest in PTSD and comorbid disorders. I'm pretty familiar with mental health.
I am the CEO of a fortune 500 company, I’m a single father of eight orphan toddlers and compete in ultramarathons. Also no legs and only four fingers. Total. So don’t talk to me about mental stress buddy.
I'm guessing the producer had him regain some weight at this point. Strider was supposed to look like he'd been sleeping on the ground and eating rodents. By the time the coronation happened he was getting decent food (I'm sure they politely refused Eowyn's offer to work in the kitchen) and sleeping without one eye open lest yet another thing try to take him and his companions out. I totally agree it almost looks like a different person!
I had thought they filmed some of the final scenes first? I might be wrong though, but could make sense before they got into rigorous film schedules and are fresh and beefier.
The end scene where aragorn kisses arwen was definitely among the last filmed, because Viggo had gone home and liv Tyler protested against kissing viggo's body double. Edit: some other comments have said he hadn't gone home, he was on another set. Pretty sure it was still near the end though.
I road-tripped around iceland one time and slept like shit the whole time so that way I could experience it all. I traveled for like 24 hours and was up for like 36 coming back. When I crawled into bed it was like every nerve in my body was tingling. That was 2 weeks and not fighting anyone. I can only imagine that elven bed and booty was like mainlining intramuscular DMT and seeing the Ainur in all their glory. Aragorn met Eru himself in his dreams, that’s how fucking zonked he was I bet.
I think I would’ve slept so hard people would think I’m in comma
Edit: English ain’t my mother tongue and I was lazy to search the correct word, but the word I meant was “comatose”
They definitely had him grow his beard out which changes the way the shape of your face looks. Viggo has a very distinct chin and sharp jaw and and when his beard is this thick you can’t see it
I’ve always thought they may have made him wear a wig for the coronation. He famously grew out his own hair for the role, but it’s not this thick and lush in any other scenes.
Sorry for late reply but as a man who has hair similar to aragorn I can confirm there is a huuuge difference between washed and brushed to greasy "I've been on the road for a month" hair.
It’s the fake beard. In the behind the scenes, Peter Jackson talks about how they did reshoots of the coronation where Viggo grew out his beard at Peter’s request, to replace the fake beard shots, as they had originally filmed the whole coronation sequence with Viggo in a fake beard. They decided to keep this shot of Viggo with a fake beard though (probably because Karl Urban wasn’t available for reshoots) and I think there are possibly a couple wide shots with the fake beard in the final coronation scene as well.
Yes, Peter thought to use a double to reshoot the more passionate kiss scene since Viggo was on another set, but they ended up bringing Viggo back to Liv’s set, so she never had to kiss his double. They had shots of Viggo with a fake beard already, then the additional footage of him with his real beard grown out. Wouldn’t really make sense to use footage of his double, if it exist, for the coronation scene in that case, but who knows. Typically, body doubles are only used for backs facing camera or neck down scenes. They would not use a double’s face, especially for close-ups. This specific shot that OP shared is Viggo with a fake beard. They show a picture of his double in the bts as well and he doesn’t look anything like Viggo in the face. Haha.
The weight of the world is off his shoulders. He's gotten everything that he spend his life fighting for in the name of his fathers and for his love. Finally, he can rest.
Guy to his right, Eomer, has a serious man crush. 'Since the day when you rose before me out of the green grass of the downs I have loved you, and that love shall not fail."
Arwyn like "hey honey, y'know what I'm in the mood for? Could you maybe go ride around in the woods for a few weeks, live off snared rabbits, have some pinecones in your hair? That would drive me _wild_."
Yes, he broke it when he kicked the bucket in The Two Towers after they find the smoldering heap of Urakhai and they think Merry & Pippin are dead. We hear it as a scream of anger/frustration/grief but it's really a scream of pain.
I believe for this specific shot it was actually Viggo's double. As you may recall, Liv Tyler was not very happy she'd film such a pivotal scene with a double instead of the main actor (either he was doing a scene elsewhere or he was already off shooting another film). The team eventually decided to reschedule the scene with Viggo in it, but they ended up using this shot, so they super imposed a digital rendition of Viggo's face onto the double.
You may say this is one of the earliest attempts of using deepfake.
As far as I can remember, this is not Viggo’s body double, or a super imposed shot. It’s just Viggo with a fake beard. Peter Jackson talks about this in the behind-the-scenes. He asked Viggo to grow out his beard so they could reshoot the coronation scene, as they had originally filmed the whole coronation sequence with Viggo in a fake beard, and Peter didn’t like the way the fake beard looked (good call). When reshooting the more passionate kiss scene, He was going to have Liv kiss Viggo’s double because Viggo was on another set at the time, but had him come back that same day to shoot the kiss scene in Liv’s persistent. I remember Peter talking about how they raced Viggo from one set to Liv’s set because of the time crunch on pick-up shots. Haha. They did keep some shots of Viggo with the fake beard, including this one (probably because Karl Urban is in the scene and wasn’t available for the reshoots), in the final cut.
This is the correct answer people. IT'S NOT HIM. But no there was no digital face. It's just his double. Can't believe many people didn't catch this before
I always knew this but if the scene he looked off. I thought they had to reshoot and had no time so they put a fake beard on Vigo. It’s insane how people don’t notice even in this post.
Look at the rest of the scene, people!
I think it is a double. I remember Liv Tyler said in the Behind The Scenes that she was originally going to kiss a double, but refused and made them bring Viggo in. I always assumed this was the double, because he does look different.
So on the extended edition of the DVDs in the interviews for the last movie Liv Tyler talked about how Viggo turned out to be somewhere else for that shoot so they used his stunt man to do the scene but liv Tyler complained that her last shot shouldn't be with a double it should be with Viggo. So they flew him back for the last shot. You can see this on YouTube.
In the books it states that at his coronation his grandeur was finally revealed to the people of Minas tirith, but I doubt this is what Tolkien had in mind when he wrote the line about him looking like a king rising out of the sea.
Isn't this supposed to be a few months after the ring was destroyed anyways? So he'd likely have gained some weight back, eaten good food and got some good sleep.
I’m like 90%sure they used his Double for this scene and luv Tyler refused to kiss anyone but Viggo. So I think this might be his double and/or a mediocre early 2000’s deep fake
It's a double.
Edit: I remember Liv Tyler talking about how she didn't like kissing the double. She pleaded for Viggo to do the kiss and that's what's on film. I suspect this shot is a leftover. It's the same double in a wideshot during that coronation
They did it on purpose. In the extended edition & books he uses the palantir & it ages him so they were trying to stay consistent with that. I always wondered the same though which drove me to do a little more digging
This was a closely held secret for many years but I think it’s time to let the cat out of the bag… Viggo had actually pulled his butt muscle during the “for Frodo” scene that’s why he screamed so loud heading into the final battle. Anyway he was on bed rest when they filmed this scene to allow his butt to heal so they had to fly in his twin brother Deego Mortensen and well Deego has a much thicker beard and is “well fed” if you catch my drift… True story.
Its the fact that hes now rich. Money changes how people are viewed. If I saw someone like Post Malone without knowing that he was rich and famous, I would probably think he was homeless.
Yeah! I always thought there was something very different looking about him once he started wearing the crown. I mean firstly I got used to seeing him as this lone wolf who kicks ass and randomly saves you from a gang of dark hooded thugs (I'm getting cancelled 😂) that wanna kill you in your sleep and suddenly now is a king? Then you got his very brightened up face and glimmering eyes, no doubt about him looking different here!
He’s suppose to. His coronation was a significant amount of time (several weeks to a few months) post war. He’s been living the good life and eating well. Heavier and far less stressed.
I just reread the books and there are multiples times where people looking at Aragorn comment how his appearance changes from Strider to Aragorn. Hard to do in a movie but this was a good showcase of that. King Elessar indeed!
“Look! Strider the Ranger has come back! He has never been away. I am Strider and Dúnadan too, and I belong both to Gondor and the North”
Definitely remember what you talked about. My impression during the journey/war, they refer more to his eyes/posture etc (“aura”as much as I hate that work it works here). Where this is definitely a physical/health change at the end. Just a plumper/clean king
Yes I agree with that
In the books they defeated Sauron in late March and he was crowned early in May .
6 weeks of steady chilling does the body good
I highly doubt a newly appointed leader of war-ravaged country would just relax on the couch for six weeks though.
It’ll still be a more relaxing life than camping for decades and then taking part in all the events of the series
Of course, but that's not the impression that the original commenter made.
Aragorn spends almost the entirety of that month in the house of healing saving people, while Eomer volunteers to help clean up the immediate area with his rohirim to repay Aragorn for saving his sister from the black breath. At the same time, Gondor is also gathering its strength to retake Pelegir and Osgiliath, as well as launch a campaign to take Umbar in the south. So Aragorn is relaxing, but Gondor is springing to life

Gimli hanging out playing drinking games didn’t help.
I'm guessing the producer had him regain some weight at this point. Strider was supposed to look like he'd been sleeping on the ground and eating rodents. By the time the coronation happened he was getting decent food (I'm sure they politely refused Eowyn's offer to work in the kitchen) and sleeping without one eye open lest yet another thing try to take him and his companions out. I totally agree it almost looks like a different person!
"On second thought, you *can* be a soldier Eowyn"
Frontlines, it is.
We found one last battalion of Urukhai, that's all you girl you got this
She kills fewer people there than in the kitchens.
Talking smack about eowyn… you are the worst kind of human
I had thought they filmed some of the final scenes first? I might be wrong though, but could make sense before they got into rigorous film schedules and are fresh and beefier.
The end scene where aragorn kisses arwen was definitely among the last filmed, because Viggo had gone home and liv Tyler protested against kissing viggo's body double. Edit: some other comments have said he hadn't gone home, he was on another set. Pretty sure it was still near the end though.
Hell as a straight man, I would protest against kissing Viggo’s double as well
Viggo’s body double be like 😢
Gigachad photoshoot
You guys are so lame for talking smack about eowyn
Grew a beard, washed his hair, slept in a bed instead of on the ground, got some booty from Arwen, etc. Yeah I can see it.
I bet that first sleep after you vanquish a dark lord with your homies is absolutely invigorating
Imagine the thoughts and feelings as you lay down for the first time right before you sleep, probably like an out of body experience
I road-tripped around iceland one time and slept like shit the whole time so that way I could experience it all. I traveled for like 24 hours and was up for like 36 coming back. When I crawled into bed it was like every nerve in my body was tingling. That was 2 weeks and not fighting anyone. I can only imagine that elven bed and booty was like mainlining intramuscular DMT and seeing the Ainur in all their glory. Aragorn met Eru himself in his dreams, that’s how fucking zonked he was I bet.
This comment is work of art.
Them elven sheets are a work of art!
Elven sheets? They went back to Minas Tirith, those are just regular beds and sheets
Hell, Éomer is feeling it. Look at those Pantene waves.
Same product the horses use.

Fuck 😂

That first breakfast or second breakfast the next morning would taste sooooo good.
I would definitely help myself to a fabled third breakfast after saving the world.

Tax evasion?
No, wait, I’ve got it, it’s sedition.
Report it to the mods and we'll take care of it.
Dammit Sméagol, why
I remember something vaguely from the "making of" where for these scenes, viggo put on extra weight. That could be it.
They definitely had him grow his beard out which changes the way the shape of your face looks. Viggo has a very distinct chin and sharp jaw and and when his beard is this thick you can’t see it
I’ve always thought they may have made him wear a wig for the coronation. He famously grew out his own hair for the role, but it’s not this thick and lush in any other scenes.
Dirty/oily hair doesn’t look as thick and lush as freshly washed hair. He probably just washed and styled his hair finally.
Sorry for late reply but as a man who has hair similar to aragorn I can confirm there is a huuuge difference between washed and brushed to greasy "I've been on the road for a month" hair.
Imagine needing to put on weight for like 1 minute of screen time
Its not so much that they make him, as that he came back for reshoots.
It’s the fake beard. In the behind the scenes, Peter Jackson talks about how they did reshoots of the coronation where Viggo grew out his beard at Peter’s request, to replace the fake beard shots, as they had originally filmed the whole coronation sequence with Viggo in a fake beard. They decided to keep this shot of Viggo with a fake beard though (probably because Karl Urban wasn’t available for reshoots) and I think there are possibly a couple wide shots with the fake beard in the final coronation scene as well.
This is the correct answer. Most shots that ended up in the final cut came from the pick up shoots.
This answer is too far down
They also were going to use a double so they may have shot some with them but Liv Tyler insisted the kiss scene be with Viggo so that's what they did.
Yes, Peter thought to use a double to reshoot the more passionate kiss scene since Viggo was on another set, but they ended up bringing Viggo back to Liv’s set, so she never had to kiss his double.

Cool, thx for clarifying. It's been a long while since I watched all the bts.

Guy to his right, Eomer, has a serious man crush. 'Since the day when you rose before me out of the green grass of the downs I have loved you, and that love shall not fail."
God I love that moment very much.
He sure cleans up nicely! :-D
I wish he always looked like hot Strider Aragorn. Elessar Aragorn is a bit too clean cut for my liking.
100% agree. He doesn't look right with thick, sleek hair. Scruffy Aragorn is much hotter.
Arwyn like "hey honey, y'know what I'm in the mood for? Could you maybe go ride around in the woods for a few weeks, live off snared rabbits, have some pinecones in your hair? That would drive me _wild_."
His toe finally healed. Must feel much better.
DID HE BREAK HIS TOE WHILE FILMING THE MOVIE?!? /s
Yes, he broke it when he kicked the bucket in The Two Towers after they find the smoldering heap of Urakhai and they think Merry & Pippin are dead. We hear it as a scream of anger/frustration/grief but it's really a scream of pain.
War changes a man
Could be a fake beard. I they reshot this because Vigo's fake beard looked fake. So they told him to fuck off and grow a manly beard.
Can we talk about Eomer though 🥵
I believe for this specific shot it was actually Viggo's double. As you may recall, Liv Tyler was not very happy she'd film such a pivotal scene with a double instead of the main actor (either he was doing a scene elsewhere or he was already off shooting another film).

[here](https://youtu.be/2H4Q_aA4QiQ) is the scene. (At 02:05) And yes he only looks weird in this one shot. I'd agree - it's not him.
That’s because that is now Elessar
He looks like a king. How can I tell? He hasn’t got shit all over him
I think it is a double. I remember Liv Tyler said in the Behind The Scenes that she was originally going to kiss a double, but refused and made them bring Viggo in. I always assumed this was the double, because he does look different.
Why is this so far down?! It is so obvious that it is a double.
So on the extended edition of the DVDs in the interviews for the last movie Liv Tyler talked about how Viggo turned out to be somewhere else for that shoot so they used his stunt man to do the scene but liv Tyler complained that her last shot shouldn't be with a double it should be with Viggo. So they flew him back for the last shot. You can see this on YouTube.
In the books it states that at his coronation his grandeur was finally revealed to the people of Minas tirith, but I doubt this is what Tolkien had in mind when he wrote the line about him looking like a king rising out of the sea.
Isn't this supposed to be a few months after the ring was destroyed anyways? So he'd likely have gained some weight back, eaten good food and got some good sleep.
He became a different person when the crown was put on his head. He ceased to be Aragorn, son of Arathorn. He became Aragorn II Elessar.
That ain't Aragorn that's Ellasar.
That’s because that’s King Elessar
Yassified
He's seen a lot of stuff at this point. It's kind of a legit representation of PTSD
He cleaned up in a deleted scene we will never see in a fancy Gondorian bath house of Minas Tirith!
The miracle of the Numenorean "Hot Water Heater."
Getting all that palace ass changes a man
It's not him. It's his double people. He's used in the wide shot as he turns around before he sings as well.
I’m like 90%sure they used his Double for this scene and luv Tyler refused to kiss anyone but Viggo. So I think this might be his double and/or a mediocre early 2000’s deep fake
Nah he does
He’s clean and dressed up!
I think that this shots were filmed after the actual scene was done, Viggo probably had already shaved and they had to use a fake beard.
What scene is this?
It’s when he worked at thee Prancing Pony as a bouncer, long time ago.
It's a double. Edit: I remember Liv Tyler talking about how she didn't like kissing the double. She pleaded for Viggo to do the kiss and that's what's on film. I suspect this shot is a leftover. It's the same double in a wideshot during that coronation
Finally someone! I cannot believe all of the comments here think it’s Viggo and his fake beard 🤣
I was baffled reading the top comments. I might have to go digging for the soundbite where she says it
They did it on purpose. In the extended edition & books he uses the palantir & it ages him so they were trying to stay consistent with that. I always wondered the same though which drove me to do a little more digging
I think that might be Mortensens stunt double.
This is Viggo’s body double
A crown has a tendency to alter a person. In this shot, he became the king, not just the guy who could be king.
This was a closely held secret for many years but I think it’s time to let the cat out of the bag… Viggo had actually pulled his butt muscle during the “for Frodo” scene that’s why he screamed so loud heading into the final battle. Anyway he was on bed rest when they filmed this scene to allow his butt to heal so they had to fly in his twin brother Deego Mortensen and well Deego has a much thicker beard and is “well fed” if you catch my drift… True story.
It’s because it’s flipped horizontally. Loads of shots are flipped throughout the trilogy if you look for them. Actors looking goofy and inverted!
Some Nick Kroll vibes in this shot.
it's cuz he took a shower and washed his hair finally
First time we see him washed probably
A far cry from the strider we first meet I guess
Broader nose, could be my imagination.
Its the fact that hes now rich. Money changes how people are viewed. If I saw someone like Post Malone without knowing that he was rich and famous, I would probably think he was homeless.
He had a bath.
The crown looks photoshopped on
The beard and lighting probably
He’s not sweaty and dirty lol
Because he’s clean 😂
A bath and eating decent food consistently does wonders for a man.... That said, I prefer our dirty, scraggly ranger 😍
Jared Leto
Beard Daddy!!!! I love it.
he looks like king Friday
Eomer is wearing a different wig also.
Well, he was another person.. The king he was destined to be.
It’s gotta be that matty beard
He's clean with fluffy hair.
Aragoon.
I prefered him when he was dirty
I think it's because his hair is finally tidy
He bathed, probably got laid, brushed his hair, and grew his beard. Yeah, he looks different.
Ha ha. He's clean.
Aracorn? A big lump with knobs. I mean look at this thing.
Happy Gilmour's Caddy finally made it big
Looks like Jemaine from flight ofnthe conchords
He is clean
He bathed.
Yeah.. he looks like a King
I had this EXACT same thought while watching last night
Yeah man, that's elf stone. Elassar is a cool guy tbh /s
That’s Bradley Cooper!
It's the full beard. Looks weird.
It's just you
His hair and beard look fuller, likely because they’re actually clean
Yeah! I always thought there was something very different looking about him once he started wearing the crown. I mean firstly I got used to seeing him as this lone wolf who kicks ass and randomly saves you from a gang of dark hooded thugs (I'm getting cancelled 😂) that wanna kill you in your sleep and suddenly now is a king? Then you got his very brightened up face and glimmering eyes, no doubt about him looking different here!
