"if you walk without rhythm, you won’t attract the worm" - Christopher Walken, Padishah Emperor, House Carrino

@tomsinsky5548 2 жыл бұрын

People often want Christopher Walken to be scary & weird because he's the best at that, but those who invite him do other things like dancing are rewarded. Walken was also excellent as Leonardo DiCaprio's loving father in "Catch Me if You Can."

Christopher Walken is a riot in Hairspray

I agree with everything EXCEPT the "loving father in 'Catch Me If You Can'." He played a deadbeat dad who didn't care about his son at all.

Have you seen the old interview with Mel Gibson, who speaks of running into him at a Hollywood party? Mel, found him terrifying. The way he supposedly glided in 😯😯. Very interesting interview.

On the "asking to dance" etiquette: In "ye good ole times" - when men and women were still dancing in pairs TOUCHING EACH OTHER - it was the responsibility of the man to ask the woman to dance. Hundreds of years before that - when people were dancing country dances - men werent supposed to ask the same -woman- girl twice in an evening AND girls werent really allowed to say NO, except in the shape of "I do not want to dance with anyone anymore this evening".

This blew my mind. I always thought Chris was supposed to be a burnt-out mobster (maybe a mob boss) who has a fun fantasy about dancing around the hotel to a song called "Weapon of Choice." I didn't know it was about an ordinary guy having a moment of zen to break the monotony of hotel travel.

I'd seen this video recently, but it had a "Come and Get Your Love" soundtrack, which was wonderful, but it's really cool to have found the original and to find out Spike Jonz directed it! I couldn't believe the interviewer asked Jonz whether it was really Walken on the baggage cart... I really wanted to know if it was really Walken that did insane insane gainer front flip at 1:41.

@jessfrankel5212 3 жыл бұрын

They used a stunt double for him. Look at the editing...you'll see the head shot when he 'flips' is at a slightly different angle. Same when he jumps off the table. I think he was 53 or 54 at the time, and he probably had knee problems. He was a dancer when he did stage work, and if he was in his twenties or thirties, he might have tried that flip, but at that age in the video, no.

@chuckmayoification 3 жыл бұрын

@@jessfrankel5212 Yeah, the editing was obvious and I can't imagine anyone letting a major star take a chance like that (especially at his age at the time). Then again, when I first saw the video, I couldn't imagine that it was actually Walken doing the dancing, either.

He looked like a 40 year old 😂
