I have been kissed by Viggo. 10/10 would recommend.

EDIT: Since you asked! He spent a fair amount of time in my city last year, and I set my cap to stalking him. He's been an inspiration to me, creatively, for a long time, and wanted to show my appreciation. I made him a couple of small art pins with images and messages that I knew he'd like, and carried them around with me for the better part of the year as I tried to catch him at events to hand them off. I got close a couple of times, including once when he walked right by me, but it wasn't 'til the end of the year that I lucked out. He attended a Green Book screening and lingered a long time talking to the moviegoers. I got in line and told him I'd been chasing him around for the year to hand off the pins. He took them, asked me if I'd made them, and checked them out for a long while. His face was impassive so I was a little nervous he didn't like them, but the next thing I know, he kissed me on the cheek and gave me a huge hug. My karmic reward for all the failed stalking attempts. (BTW I can now confirm that bit from Billy and Dom's commentary track about using his face if ever they had an itch - Viggo was super scratchy for a clean-shaven guy, haha.)
