'LOTR' star Viggo Mortensen decided to take a dementia screening test due to genetic inheritance
Mortensen stars now in the David Cronenberg film 'Crimes of the Future.'

“They said — remarkably because my family is rife with it on both sides — they said, ‘You don’t seem likely to get it at all.
“Of course, one never knows. I try to make the most of every day because someday it will all be over. All you can do is make the most of the time you have,” he tells Page Six exclusively.
