Added on January 28, 2025 inCelebrity News Cards, Entertainment News Cards

In a world where we’re all tethered to our smartphones like they’re life-support machines, along comes Christopher Walken with a refreshing splash of techno-nihilism. The legendary actor recently opened up to the Wall Street Journal about his jaded relationship with technology, claiming he’s never owned a cellphone and prefers to catch up on shows through good ol’ DVDs sent his way. It’s like a breath of fresh air, isn’t it? I mean, wouldn’t we all love to escape the constant buzz of notifications and scrolling that seems to define our daily lives? If only we could be blissfully unaware like Walken, who nonchalantly stated, “I don’t have technology. I’ve never emailed or, what do you call it, Twittered.” Sure, his way of life may seem absolutely whimsical in our hyper-connected world—but let’s be honest, we’re secretly envious of that kind of naiveté! So, is his charmingly disconnected attitude the remedy we didn’t know we needed? LEARN MORE.

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.”
