Actor Viggo Mortensen was photographed several times at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival with a Canadiens hockey jersey – specifically, one with Guy Lafleur’s name on it.

He was promoting A Dangerous Method, the David Cronenberg film about Freud and Jung, at the time, and  shared his Lafleur love with his co-star Keira Knightley.

This time around, he’s promoting On The Road, a long awaited film based on the book by Jack Kerouac. Mortensen plays William S. Burroughs.
