I saw Hidalgo the other day at an advance screening that I won passes to. I really liked the movie-good story, though not necessarily true-great cinamatography and Viggo was great! Yes, he did purchase the horse after they completed the movie. It tells all about that in Vanity Fair, last month I think. He's a wonderful actor, artist, poet, photographer, author-I just bought his book of horse photos called The Horse is Good from his own publishing house, Perceval Press, though I don't have it yet. The man is exceptionally talented(and gorgeous) and I would love to be lucky enough to meet him somehow someday! I can't believe I missed seeing him on Regis and Kelly......🙁
