MADRID: Viggo Mortensen (pic), the actor best known for playing Aragon in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, criticized Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho for the secind time in two weeks.
The 53-year-old star, who lived in Argentina for several years during his childhood, recently revealed that he is a Real fan.
But his affection for Real does not appear to extend to their Portuguese boss.
"I like football to be played on the floor, colorfully, enthusiastically and artistically, and Mourinho does not seem to be a fan of that kind of game, so I have a different approach from him as a fan," the American actor told Sportyou.
Mortensen also criticized the former Inter Milan manager's behavior during last season's Spanish Supercopa match with Barcelona, when he infamously poked Barca's Tito Vilanova in the eye during a touchline brawl.
"It is little comfort to me that Mourinho's behavior goes against the tradition of Real," he said.
"I would like him to be educated, not going to the locker room while playing to spite others, and not sticking his finger in peoples' eyes.
"It is cowardly to make that offensive gesture towards Tito Vilanova, a polite guy, and not towards Diego Simeone (Atletico Madrid manager), who would have kicked his a**e."
However, Mortensen, did say he hoped Mourinho would "win us the 10th Champions League this season."
