Christopher Walken on Being Prez: ‘What the Heck!’

Ever since Christopher Walken played a senator in Wedding Crashers, the blogosphere has been calling on the actor to run for the U.S.’s top office. Walken appeared on Late Night with Conan O’Brien to promote Man of the Year, his new flick with Robin Williams about a talk show host who runs for president, and on it, he discussed a possible bid for the office. “If [the people] want me to be president, I’ll do it,” Walken told O’Brien casually, referring to the numerous websites endorsing his presidency. “What the heck!” he added. Luckily, Walken’s platform is slightly more convincing: “No more zoos…I’ll let all the animals free.”
