The 78-year-old actor said he enjoys reading the Sunday Times newspaper: “My friend Geoffrey Holder used to say there’s nothing better than a Sunday morning: ‘The Times with a cup of coffee in front of the fire’. That’s nice”.

At first glance, this sounds like a quote without implications, but let’s keep it in mind as the story progresses.

Journalist David Marchese asked him, “It’s anyone’s guess, but have you ever been a heavy marijuana smoker?”

“Of course,” Walken replied.

“Do you still smoke?” Marchese doubled the bet.

Walken’s response: “Of course.”

When asked by Marchese what he likes to do when he’s high, the artist revealed, “When I was telling this story (…) I didn’t mention that a few hits of the joint also added to the equation.”
