Christopher Walken, 81, revealed in a recent interview that he does not use technology. He does not own a cell phone, use social media, or email. He watches his show "Severance" on DVD, relying on others for phone access. Walken compared his phone use to not owning a watch, stating he simply asks others for the time or to borrow a phone. He expressed concern about audience distractions from phones during performances, which led him to stop acting on stage since 2010. Director Ben Stiller supports a "no phone" policy on the set of "Severance" to maintain focus for actors. He emphasized the importance of protecting the acting environment from distractions.
