Christopher Walken's Quote About Never Owning A Cellphone Is Going Viral
The octogenarian explained to the Wall Street Journal how he pretty much doesn't *do* technology, and that quote is going viral on social media.
"I don't have technology. I only have a satellite dish on my house. So I've seen 'Severance' on DVDs that they're good enough to send me," he said. "I don't have a cell phone. I've never emailed or, what do you call it, Twittered."
I love how he just said, "I don't have technology," as if technology is an attribute you can have.
This isn't the first time he's talked about his lack of tech! In 2020, Walken explained that sometimes on movie sets he's given a cellphone as some sort of tracking device, saying, "Sometimes on a movie they'll give me a cell phone, but it's more so that they can find me… like a tracking collar. If I want to use it, someone has to dial it for me, that kind of thing."
Anyway, the man is surely onto something. I would kill to be that naive!
Bye!

I was at work,' he noted on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. 'And when I'm at work, I work. You gonna cut the check when I bring the business, you know?' Mackie then heard murmurs about the Emmys on set, recalling, 'And I look over and everybody's like, 'Congratulations!' And I was like, 'Oh, what white dude got nominated?' Because I'm the white dude legend when it comes to nomination and winning. So, I made Ryan Gosling [Half Nelson] famous, I made Jeremy Renner [The Hurt Locker] famous, I made Bryan Cranston [All the Way] famous, I made, now, Ron Howard famous. I'm like, 'You wanna get nominated? I'm the dude.' I am the sauce, I am the jelly in the donut.' With a Primetime Emmy nod for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series, Mackie is in good company, nominated alongside fellow The Studio guests Howard, Cranston, Martin Scorsese and Dave Franco, as well as The Bear's Jon Bernthal. 'The way I look at it, I'm very honored and proud to be nominated. But the reality of it is, I'm excited to be in second place,' he told Fallon. 'You know, it's Ron Howard and it's Scorsese, so one of them are gonna take it, but they're gonna take votes from the other person. So, I'm gonna be in second.' Mackie added, 'I don't care about winning. Winning is being nominated against Scorsese and Ron Howard. Because one of them is going to have to say, 'Damn! I lost to Anthony Mackie.' They're thinking about me, they're shaking.' Additionally, Mackie has received a Daytime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Daytime Personality – Non-Daily, recognizing his NatGeo series Shark Beach with Anthony Mackie: Gulf Coast.

To keep the casting announcement trend going, executive producer and creator Rick Riordan also appeared via video message on Thursday to reveal that season 3 — the series scored an early renewal back in March — has officially found its Nico di Angelo and his sister Bianca. Fans of the books have long anticipated their arrival, as they are the children of Hades, and beloved in the series.
