Christopher Walken Teaches Conan Dance Moves | Late Night with Conan O’Brien

[@pleappleappleap]

I think Christopher Walken is unintentionally cool. He doesn't mean to be. He just is.

[@SNAP-2-IT]

Like an unintentional murderer- like with Robert Wagner & Natalie Wood... yeah, kinda like that.

My girlfriend use to cut his hair. She said he was definitely quirky, very intelligent and tipped her for his $15 cut with $10. She ran a department store salon in Santa Monica and he liked shopping there while he waited for her. He was just a nice guy to everyone. My favorite was his Count character on SNL.
