Walken is brilliant. and seems slightly bemused that anyone would want to follow his twitter.

I don't think that's the real Christopher Walken.

That may not be the real Christopher Walken, but his tweets are amusing. ;-)

Posted by Leonide (Member # 4157) on :

agreed. he does keep plugging that elimae website, so my guess is not Walken. *the dream dies*

Posted by CaySedai (Member # 6459) on :

The wikipedia article on him says he "actively maintains a Twitter account" and links to that one. I'm going to keep on half-believing he's real. ;-)

Like I said, "half-believing." In other words, the tweets are amusing, and I'm not ruling it out until I see a press release or something.

I did a little more "research." I checked two fan sites, one of which stated that CW does not use a computer. However, both sites are a couple of years out of date, so I'm not taking that as the final authority.

The tweets are amusing and random. But there are a couple that do ring true to me (granted, I've never met him).

To me, those don't sound like someone trying to pose as a celebrity. Obviously, I could be wrong.

It's possible, but some of his more recent "randomicities" sound forced. It's like the writer's found a formula that works and is trying to reuse it whenever possible.
