Christopher Walken Walked This Way Today
Tonight at about 8pm EST, ultra popular movie star Christopher Walken graced Cambridge with his presence.
The 64-year-old Academy Award winner was in town to accept the honor of 2008 Man of the Year from Harvard University’s Hasty Pudding Theatricals troupe, a group of mostly male members who have a thing for dressing up in drag. Even so, their annual celebration of their chosen Man and Woman of the Year always gets lots of press around these parts and the entire world.
Just last week, Walken’s fellow Oscar winner, actress Charlize Theron, stopped by Boston to accept her Pudding Pot for 2008 Woman of the Year. She also graciously participated in a parade around the chilly streets of the Harvard Square area.
Fortunately for Walken, all he had to do was sit through a brief roasting by college dudes, dance a little, and then give a short speech. Attendees were thrilled all the same, I’m sure, and would do it again in a heartbeat if they could.
Take a look at an 84-second clip of what Walken had to say during the festivities, courtesy of the omnipresent Cambridge Chronicle. The video follows the jump.
