Despite never owning one, the Oscar-winner said that he has been forced to obtain a cell phone while filming movies in the past.
"Sometimes on a movie, they'll give me a cell phone but it's more so that they can find me," he said. "And if I want to use it, somebody has to dial it for me. It's that kinda thing."
Walken was on hand to promote his new Irish film Wild Mountain Thyme, where he stars alongside stars Jamie Dornan, Emily Blunt and Clare Barrett. The rom-com tells the story of two lovers whose romance is caught between their family's land dispute.
