Happy. Birthday. Christopher. Walken.

Written by: admin

The otter-conscious* acting powerhouse that is Christopher Walken turns 67 today. A keen practical joker (apparently when he stays at a hotel, he likes to dress up as an elevator operator and freak people out in the lift when they see Christopher Walken is working the buttons) we’ve always loved the man. Here’s one of our favourite Walken moments:

“A friend of mine, while a bit drunk, ran into Christopher Walken in Manhattan. He stopped the actor, and told him how much he loves his movies and how cool he is. Then he asked Christopher Walken to say a line from one of his movies. Walken looked at him, stony-faced.  The drunk insisted.  So Walken said, “OK, a line from one of my movies.  Let me see. How about…’Go fuck yourself’.”

* If you’re wondering what on earth we mean by that, the reason Christopher Walken gives  for not buying vine-ripened tomatoes is this – “I DON’T. Buy the tomatoes with. The stems. On them. They don’t. Degrade. They go. Down the sink. And into the WATER. Then. They get lodged in the throats of little. OTTERS.”
