Happy 83rd birthday, Christopher Walken! Christopher Walken explains why 'The Deer Hunter' (1978) was such an important movie for him: "It all happened when I did 'The Deer Hunter' (1978).

Actor Christopher Walken Now 82 has never owned a cellphone, use social media, or email—and has no plans on starting. "I don't have technology. I only have a satellite dish on my house.

But if I need the time, I just ask somebody. Likewise, once in a while when I need to use a phone, I just ask if I can borrow one." Christopher Walken did say exactly that in a January 2025 interview with The Wall Street Journal. What are your thoughts on this? Would you be able to live like Christopher?

Abel Ferrara and screenwriter Nicholas St. John wrote King of New York specifically with Christopher Walken in mind - despite never having met him. Getting Walken was an absolute must. Abel explains what it was like meeting with him for the first time to discuss doing the role: "Walken showed up as advertised, tall, elegant, mysterious, and like every time I would ever meet with him he just appeared, alone, carrying a black bag like a doctor. We all sat quiet for a moment. I had no idea where to begin. He started talking. He said you can’t play a king; it’s the attitude of the other actors toward you that makes you one. Then he stood up and said, “I read the script and I know exactly what you guys want, and I can give it to you.” We couldn’t even manage a response. He said he had to go and left, never having taken off his coat. I went right to the phone to call Jay (Julien, the producer) to try to figure out what just happened. He said, “Well, I guess you have your actor.” Quote from GQ

Sir Lewis Hamilton reflecting on the break after Singapore, and speaking on his experience with horses throughout his life: "Good afternoon, everyone. I was at the factory, and then headed out here. Had some work in LA, and then I came here. But yesterday, I rode a horse for the first time. So it was an unbelievable experience." "But when I was younger, there used to be a horse that was in a field nearby, just a shy horse. And it was this beautiful horse. It was just on its own every day. So I'd go and stop, and it would come over to me, and I'd spend time [with it]. And then when I'd start walking home, I'd start to notice my allergies started kicking off. And then my breathing, I'd struggle to breathe. And I'd really, really struggle. And I didn't know that I had asthma." "Then I was, I happened to be around another horse another time, and I had an asthma attack. And it was a really scary experience, because I didn't have an inhaler or anything. So anyways, I stayed away from horses since that day. That was when I was probably like 14 or something. And I went through this desensitization program, because my allergies were crazy, particularly for hay fever in the UK. And I didn't think anything of it. I hadn't thought about it. And I did a shoot at the beginning of this year with a horse for the Time 100 magazine. And I took medication, antihistamine. But I was able to be around this horse, no problems. So yesterday, I did a shoot with a horse for Plus 44. And I was like, can I ride it? And I got on. And it was just, wow. It was an amazing experience." "The horse started moving. And it started to gallop. And I didn't know what to do in that moment. So I panicked a little bit. But it was beautiful. So I'm really, really excited about this next phase of my life, where I'm going to be around horses more and really get into riding." - F1 2025 USGP -

Quentin Taratino said Lawrence Fishburne’s performance in King of New York was so incredible he thought - “he could be the greatest actor of his generation”. He explains: "As great as Christopher Walken is in this movie. To me, it's Larry Fishburne's movie - it was the rock that becomes a diamond aspect of the movie. It's why I could defend this movie against all comers, because to me, Fish's performance in this movie was comparable to a young Brando. It was the most exciting performance by an actor of his generation that I'd seen in a movie of that time. And I thought, well, that's it. There is a new Marlon Brando, and his name is Larry Fishburne - it was amazing, it was mesmerizing… He is the first hip hop gangster in movie history. That character had never been done before this. He invented that character. And he invented it as something to do. It wasn't in the original script. He came up with that himself… The three big Fishburne moments to me, is his opening sequence with…Tito. That's it, with Tito - black glove dude. And his reunion with Frank. And then it's the chicken scene (see below). Those are his three big arias. Not only that though - expressions that I would later hear for the rest of the decade, I actually heard for the first time in that scene. I'd never heard the expression; “I'll slap the black off you” before. That was the first time I heard it when Fish says it to Snipes. I've since heard it many times… And that was actually the first time I ever heard, “fuck you very much”. And I would proceed to hear that for the rest of the 90s. But those were the first times I'd ever heard those expressions… As terrific as he has been in other things - the level of excitement that I had over him when this movie was over, I have never had that excitement again. I thought, with this, he could be the greatest actor of his generation. That was an actual, real fucking thing. He could be the greatest actor of his generation after seeing this."

Jennifer Lopez says that her divorce from Ben Affleck was ultimately the best thing that ever happened to her. Jennifer Lopez: When I got divorced this last time, it was the best thing that ever happened to me because it really made me journey into... I mean, I had a religious coach, I had a therapist, a couples therapist, an individual therapist. I had a, you know, a coach to understand addiction. Like, I had everything. I was like, "I'm going to fucking figure this shit out if it kills me." And it really got to the point where I go, "Oh, that... it's the core. It's the core of the thing is you. It's nobody else." And when I did that, now I'm able to sit here in such a more self-assured, kind of self-aware way... and know who I am and just really appreciate that person and feel really comfortable and good in being myself all the good parts and all of the kind of complicated things. Howard Stern: But you haven't had that with someone. Jennifer Lopez: [Sighs] Glimpses. Howard Stern: Glimpses. Yeah, yeah. I wish that for you.

Corey Heim's explanation on the contact that spun Carson Hocevar while they were racing for second. "I really don't know, honestly. I feel like I was rolling more speed through him all day, and then when I caught him I felt like he was gonna have better pace. I don't know if he was, like, really really saving tire. But we're all kind of, like, head on a swivel through there. There's a lot of walls and barriers that we're all trying to kind of slide through. "And next thing I know, I go from like five back to on his bumper, and then he's turned around. It all kind of happened so fast that I really don't know what happened to be honest with you. "But sorry to those guys for ruining their day. Obviously they were pretty fast."

I’ve been an artist for over a decade now but lately things have really changed for me in my life and my career. So I’ve been trying to figure out what was it that happened? What was it that made the change happen?

🧸: today I went to do something that was really fun. Also, today I got to play with a hamster. Honestly though, a fun fact: my first pet was a hamster. I’ve had so many pets. Starting from fish, hamster, porcupine/hedgehog, Japanese turtle the little one, chinchilla, and then Padi and Tobi (her dogs) – these are all my pets. But I had a hamster that I really loved, and I named it ‘Crazy’, confusing, right? But they died. I’m not sure what happened because I was still young. But I did care for them really well. I’m not sure what happened they just suddenly went still/stiff. I was shocked and was really traumatised. Also, my chinchilla, I named it ‘Khai dun’ (steamed egg custard), and I named the second one ‘Khai dun the 2nd’. Confused why I named them this, right? I’m not sure. I was used to it already (the name). The first ‘Khai dun’ made me really sad and missed them so much, so I named the second chinchilla the same name. #MiuNatsha #หมิวณัชชา #ลีน่าหมิว #LenaMiu

Gina Gershon explains why she didn't like Paul Verhoeven's "Showgirls" (1995) at first, but learnt to appreciate it over the years: "I couldn't watch "Showgirls" (1995) for years 'cause I was like, I was too, a little bit of PTSD, I think, in a very slight way, no disrespect to real PTSD, but I would get very tense and anxious when I thought about certain things and stories, and so I never really watched it again, and I would kind of use the excuse of like, 'Well,' and it was a real excuse, like, 'I can't deal with my accent, 'cause I had to lie about my accent. I thought the movie would be closer to one of [Verhoeven's] Dutch films, which are a little bit seedier, a little bit darker, and I think his American films, now that I've kind of studied it and I've stepped out of it, I mean, they're really interesting comments on America and fascism. Going 30 years later, 25 years later, a friend of mine, a writer friend, she said, 'No, you don't understand how great Showgirls is.' I'm like, 'I guess I really don't,' but when I saw it from afar, not being in it, and all of a sudden I'm like, 'Oh my god.' It was really a comment on ugly America and on capitalism and power struggles and dynamics and all those things. That r*** scene has to be there. It's the grossest thing in there and the powerful men, they're all protected and, you know, so that's why it's exciting when she kicks the guy's a$$. I thought it was gonna be a different movie than it was, but you know what? It's also an interesting lesson in, you know, when you get to the set or any situation really, you know, in your mind, you think what it is, but when you go there and it's not, then you have to assess and... You gotta make it make sense, but then I just changed my approach to the whole character, so that was kind of interesting. It was a good lesson."

Going 30 years later, 25 years later, a friend of mine, a writer friend, she said, 'No, you don't understand how great Showgirls is.' I'm like, 'I guess I really don't,' but when I saw it from afar, not being in it, and all of a sudden I'm like, 'Oh my god.' It was really a comment on ugly America and on capitalism and power struggles and dynamics and all those things. That r*** scene has to be there. It's the grossest thing in there and the powerful men, they're all protected and, you know, so that's why it's exciting when she kicks the guy's a$$. I thought it was gonna be a different movie than it was, but you know what? It's also an interesting lesson in, you know, when you get to the set or any situation really, you know, in your mind, you think what it is, but when you go there and it's not, then you have to assess and... You gotta make it make sense, but then I just changed my approach to the whole character, so that was kind of interesting. It was a good lesson."
