Illarramendi signs Viggo Mortensen

Transfer of bluebells from de Real society at San Sebastian Film Festival. The San Sebastian club has signed, nothing more and nothing less, than Viggo Mortensen. The American actor has received from the hands of captain txuri-urdin, Asier Illarramendi, an elastic from Real, and also another shirt from the Argentine club San Lorenzo de Almagro. The curious moment occurred within the framework of the delivery of the Donostia Award this year to Mortensen. It is a distinction from the Zinemaldi to a relevant figure in the world of cinema. It is one of the most emotional and media moments of the San Sebastian film contest.

Viggo Mortensen's huge love for football is known all over the world, and especially for San Lorenzo de Almagro. So using that hook, aware that the American actor knew the Real well, the San Sebastian club has joined the Donostia Award with a surprise that it has made just after Mortensen received the award from the film director Agustín Díaz Yanes, who directed him in the movie Captain Alatriste. Before he started with his moving speech of thanks, the captain of Real Sociedad, Asier Illarramendi, appeared on stage with two shirts, one from San Lorenzo de Almagro and another from the realistic team. Mortensen greeted them with amusement with a smile on his face and showed the back of the Real's jacket with the name 'Viggo' on it.

Later, Viggo Mortensen, alone on stage, with the Donostia Award and the Real T-shirt in hand, was emotionally grateful for the recognition of an entire career dedicated to the world of cinema, with characters who have already passed into film history as the acquaintance Aragorn from 'The Lord of the Rings' by Peter Jackson. “I congratulate you for the tremendous luck you have to be alive and for the love you show for cinema by being here. When I think of the impressive list of artists who have received the Donostia Prize, I feel very fortunate to be included in that tradition and that promise. Covid-19 has screwed us all and it will continue to screw us for a long time, but it is just one more obstacle in our existence. We have always lived with uncertainty, although we may be more aware of it at this time. Gora Donostia Zinemaldia! Long live the cinema! ”, He shouted from the stage of the main hall of the Kursaal Viggo Mortensen, who from now on will be one more supporter of the Royal Society. A movie signing.
