Christopher Walken: Wedding Crashers
built 225 days ago
As of August 2005, Christopher Walken was the subject of a hoax Presidential campaign. A website, Walken2008.com, presented numerous politically-charged quotes from Walken, which Christopher Walken's publicist dismissed as "100% not true." The Urban Legends Reference Pages list the site as a fake. This hoax was perpetrated by the Internet message board General Mayhem. Ironically though, in the 2005 film, Wedding Crashers, Walken plays the Treasury Secretary of the United States who, in the motion picture, is considering a run for the presidency.

Walken's representatives say they aren't sure who masterminded the Web site but speculate that it might have been prompted by Walken's latest film, "Wedding Crashers," a hit comedy starring Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn. In it, Walken plays the U.S. secretary of the Treasury.
