On October 29, Vinícius Jr. was not included in the 2024 Ballon d’Or list. Due to Vinícius not winning, Real Madrid decided not to attend this year’s Ballon d’Or ceremony, a move that sparked widespread controversy.
Famous actor Viggo Mortensen, known for his roles in popular films such as The Lord of the Rings and Green Book, commented on Vinícius Jr.’s exclusion from the Ballon d’Or. He accused the Brazilian star of being a “spoiled child.”
In a letter published in El País, Mortensen wrote: “Real Madrid was very angry and hurt when they found out their spoiled child did not make it to the Ballon d’Or. They said the club would not go to a place where they are not respected. He (Vinícius) is a poor loser, plain and simple. Although I am a Real Madrid fan, I believe that Vinícius’ arrogant behavior, which violates sportsmanship, is the fault of the club because Real Madrid has been too lenient with him. This makes it very embarrassing for fans who support Real Madrid! Hala Madrid forever!”
Viggo Mortensen is best known for his roles as Aragorn in The Lord of the Rings and Tony Vallelonga in Green Book.
