He was on the boat when Natalie Wood drowned. I wonder what he knows.
Old school cool, love Christoper Walken.
If Letterman had asked Walken even one question about Elvis, that would have carried the rest of the interview. 🤩
He is wonderful and a huge Elvis fan. I love both.❤😊💃
He’s amazing in anything. He just has something that is hard to describe

Talent and moxie.
Christopher Walken sure is multi-talented, and a lifelong Elvis fan. It was nice of him to remind us of the 1957 show filmed here, when Elvis' well-covered but shaking hips were censored from public view. Yes, the theatre has come a long way since then, and has seen things that would make Ed Sullivan blush!
God love him for channeling Elvis
Everytime I see him, Mr. Walken gives an impression of someone with a very kind and gentle soul. And he is fully aware that his manner of speaking makes other people laugh at him but he doesn't seem to mind.

Christopher Walken is without a doubt one of the best actors of all time ever and who would have known he one of the best dancers as well !!! He's a very unique personality and I bet he would be a real cool person to talk to he's probably got some pretty cool stories to tell and as a side note his voice or accent or the way he talks is so unusual and unique nobody else talks like him the way he does that's probably another reason why he's such a great actor because he acts great but he's a one of a kind vocally !!! He seems like a pretty cool dude !!!

Yes. There wasn’t much to see here of him “channeling” Elvis my dfavorite popular entertainment star of all time. I met ChristopherWalken in 1983 after I had been on a recording session for Billy Joel with my then all female string band that I played with “String Fever” + other record daters. When he asked me my name and I said “Natalie” he looked like he was going to fall off his bar stool as this was just a few months after the terrible tragedy of the drowning accident of Natalie Wood whom he had been with, on the boat when that occurred. We spoke and I was asked to take a walk with him in Central Park but refused. He was a gentleman and walked me home though. Nice guy and great actor.
Mr Walken turned 81 on March 31st…

Indeed. That meeting with his gang after paroling was a great moment in the film. Laurence Fishburne's offering Walken a drink of his soda and Walken's response is a memorable moment in the film.

Everyone should definitely watch the Fatboy Slim video "Weapon of Choice" if they haven't before. It's worth watching just to see Walken dance. But also, its actually a good song.

I have seen many times, it is actually a great song, and perfect fit for Walken. What a uniquely gifted guy, has made a whole career out of his being completely weird and different from everybody else. Genius? Maybe, or just seems like he's being himself, and it just works. Love that dude.

If you want to go further down this rabbit hole, check out Sam Rockwell’s dance to Flight Facilities’ “Down to Earth”. The video has been compared to Walken’s dance to “Weapon of Choice”. In fact, there is a yt video that interleaves the two.
I loved this. Fantastic.
Walkin has charisma but it’s a special kind called quirky charisma, Jeff Goldblum has that also.
one of a kind....Mr. Walken 👍👍

Now Austin Butler doing impressions of him is kind of a circle closed ❤
Adam Spiegel, AKA Spike Jonze is a true talent. Christopher Walken is an excellent dancer, actor and all-around nice guy. He lives next-door to me. Christopher Walken is NOT DEAD. He turned 81 on March 31, 2024.

There's very little Elvis in this clip. Based on the title, I was hoping for more.
Dave must have discovered the miracle of Propecia, Minoxidil or toupees, over 20 years later he's not bald, in fact, he has so much hair it's moved to his face.

Hola
Either Dave or Fatboy Slim screwed up big time by not agreeing to whatever was asked to include a clip of the video. massive missed opportunities for both involved but mostly the guy who isn't Dave. Dave was too cheap or lazy or busy being a big shot to bother using the proper music. I'm a fan of Dave and Fatboy Slim. Paul is a competent professional. I'd have been entertained by his rendition of the track Walken danced to. I like Walken's moves. They're unfamiliar yet extremely human. He is relatable. And yet I fear him. Seriously, though, the way that this has been edited screams "dave ain't got any class" which is untrue as we both know. For your sake I post this comment, Dave. You see the big picture and then show it on TV to the rest of us. God bless Phylo Farnsworth and David Leaderman
You may be cool. You will never be Walken cool.

No such thing as channeling there is b a great gulf between the dead and the living. What is answering is demons do not let yourselves be mislead.
Scary chap
Wasted my time
Letterman was a complete waste of time. He's one of the worst television hosts in the history of the medium. He shouldn't compete with the guest for laughs.
I've seen him on stage doing Shakespeare in Stratford, CT. He's very talented, for sure. Terrific sense of humor, and quite genuine.
