Christopher Walken watches ‘Severance’ on DVDs because he ‘doesn’t have the equipment’ to stream it
Technical difficulties.
Christopher Walken says he watches his lauded series “Severance” on DVDs because he doesn’t own the necessary “equipment” to stream the show.
The actor, 81, made the revelation alongside his costars as they promoted the just-released second season of the Apple TV+ original on Thursday’s episode of Andy Cohen’s SiriusXM show, “Andy Cohen Live.”
“Chris, after you appeared in the show, did you watch all the episodes?” the Bravo! honcho asked.
“Not all of them” Walken replied. “I can’t. I don’t have the equipment, so they’re good enough to send me DVDs,” he added, referring to Apple TV+.
A surprised Cohen followed up, “Oh, they do? Okay. Do you have an Apple TV+ subscription?”
“I don’t have anything,” the actor said.
Cohen gleefully answered back, “I love you for that!”
The show, which premiered in 2022, follows Mark (Adam Scott) and his team of office workers whose memories have been surgically divided between their work and personal lives. After a mysterious colleague appears outside of work, it begins a journey to discover the truth about their jobs.
Walken plays Burt Goodman, one of the workers whose memories have been “severed” by their corporate overlord, Lumon. Goodman is the Head of Optics and Design at Lumon in season one.
The “Severance” stars’ appearance on “Andy Cohen Live” follows the show’s buzzy promo-as-performance art stunt at New York’s Grand Central Station late Tuesday afternoon.
Adam Scott, Zach Cherry, Patricia Arquette, Britt Lower, and Tramell Tillman stopped subway riders in their tracks as they acted out their characters’ lives inside a large glass cube.
For two and a half hours, the cast ignored stupefied commuters as they “worked,” practiced yoga, played catch, sipped coffee and threw paper airplanes at one another in the diorama of their Lumon offices.
In a new interview with The Post, “Severance” star John Turturro revealed that Walken is often just as confused about what’s really going on at Lumon as many of the show’s fans.
“Chris has asked me at times like, ‘What the hell is going on here?’” Turturro, 67, told The Post of Walken, who plays his love interest on the Emmy-winning series.
“And I just go, ‘Listen — we’re into each other. Just say your lines to me, and I’ll say my lines to you.’ And sometimes he gets confused with the whole thing.”
The “Night Of” star added, “But I think it’s weird to start talking about what you’re thinking [is going on in the plot].”
The first episode of “Severance” Season 2 is available to stream now on Apple TV+.
