VIGGO MORTENSEN - VIGGO MORTENSEN'S FLYING FACE

Movie star VIGGO MORTENSEN has had his portrait painted - on an aeroplane.

The face of the sexy LORD OF THE RINGS actor adorns the side of an AIR NEW ZEALAND plane, the country where the Rings trilogy was filmed.

But modest Mortensen, 45, finds the situation surreal, as well as a bit frightening.

He says, "Its scary. I don't know if all this that's happening is about timing.

"I think it's luck, because I know people who are really talented, and for some reason, can't even make a living."
