81 year old Christopher Walken reveals in a new interview with the “Wall Street Journal” that he avoids modern technology. The actor, currently starring in the AppleTV+ show “Severance,” “I've never had a cell phone. I’ve never emailed or, what do you call it, Twittered.”
Walken apparently only has a satellite dish at home…and watches his show “Severance” on DVDs! Ben Stiller, who directs “Severance,” recently revealed he has a rule banning phones from set on “Severance” to limit distractions…so it seems like Walken was ahead of the curve there!
“Crew have to use phones sometimes to communicate, but, for me, I like no phones anywhere near the eyeshot of the actors,” Stiller shares. “My least favorite thing is to see a…guy hunched down while an actor is acting their brains out, and he’s scrolling or whatever,” he adds.
