Christopher Walken has never sent a text or an email

Throughout his seven-decades-long career, Christopher Walken has frequently appeared to be on his own personal frequency. How Walken tunes into that frequency will remain unknown after the actor revealed he’s never used a cellphone or sent an email.

Speaking to Stephen Colbert on “The Late Show” Tuesday, the “King of New York” star explained that he needed someone to come to his house to set up their Zoom call because he has never owned a computer or cell phone.

However, the enigmatic actor isn’t intentionally a Luddite, or “morally, philosophically [or] emotionally opposed” to technology, he’s just old, he says.

“I just got to it too late,” Walken, 77, said. “I think I’m right at a certain age where it just passed me by. And I never got involved in it because it would be strange to have any 10-year-old be much better at it than I am.”

He also compared cellphones to watches, saying “if you need one, somebody else has got it.”

Walken admitted to Colbert he had been given cellphones on movie productions previously, but that was more to keep tabs on him in case he walked off set.

“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,” he said. “If I want to use it, someone has to dial it for me, that kind of thing.”

Walken can currently be seen in “The War With Grandpa” and “Wild Mountain Thyme” which are available on VOD.
