Christopher Walken is known for his amazing skills as an actor. He has done not only some renowned movies but also TV shows. Walken has been a part of plays that have also helped in building his reputation as an actor. His latest film just so happens to be with Denis Villeneuve and he also worked with Steven Spielberg in Catch Me If You Can.
Throughout his career, he has found various ups and downs in life. Such a case allowed him to learn more about himself. However, it was not just his professional life that caught the eye of people from time to time. In fact, there had been almost a moment when a certain picture of a girl’s boyfriend, helped him secure a date to prom.
Christopher Walken Asked A Girl Out Who Had A Boyfriend
According to Thrillist, Christopher Walken once shared quite an interesting story that involved one of the most successful musicians of all time. The actor revealed that he once asked a girl to attend the prom with him. The girl told him that she would, but she wanted to make it explicitly clear that she was involved with someone else who was older than him.
“I asked this girl to go to the prom and she said she would but that she had a boyfriend, an older guy. Then she took out her wallet and showed me a picture of this handsome guy with the hair, the teeth, who looked like a Greek statue. I thought, All right,”
Upon asking more about her boyfriend, she showed him a picture of him in her wallet. Walken was completely taken aback by how good-looking her boyfriend was. The actor described this man as looking like a Greek statue with perfect hair, and teeth, being one of the most handsome men he had seen. Upon closer inspection, however, the actor realized that something was off there.
This Boyfriend Was Elvis Presley
Christopher Walken then revealed, according to Thrillist, that when he had another look at the picture, he realized that it was not a photograph, but in fact a cutout of someone from a magazine. When he pointed this out, the girl got defensive and concerned. It was here that she revealed to him that the man in the picture was, in fact, a man named Elvis Presley. This was perhaps before the musician became the phenomenon that he is known for now.
“Then I asked to see it again and said, “This is not a photograph. You cut this out of a magazine.” She got farmisht and said, “Yes, you’re right, I did. I’m so madly in love with him. His name is Elvis Presley.” She went with me to the prom. I had her in a compromising position. That’s what you get for lying.”
The girl, then, went on to tell Walken that she was madly in love with Presley, and that is why she was pretending that the musician was her boyfriend. After hearing this, Walken used this information about her as a way to get her to come to the prom with him. The actor revealed that this is what she got for lying and putting herself in a compromising position.
