HOLLYWOOD legend Christopher Walken made a rare public appearance at Robert DeNiro’s star-studded 80th birthday party in New York.
The Pulp Fiction star was spotted leaving the bash at swanky restaurant Locanda Verde with his wife Georgianne, 79, and was immediately swamped by dozens of fans.

Christopher cheerfully obliged the autograph hunters as security attempted to to subdue the crowd.
The film icon, who starred alongside DeNiro in 1978 film The Deer Hunter, looked in good health, and wore a navy jacket and trousers which he teamed with New Balance trainers.
One of his most recent projects was appearing alongsde Stephen Merchant on The Outlaws on BBC One, filmed in Bristol during the pandemic.
Merchant became good friends with the actor and revealed last year that he is a technophobe.
He said about the legendary star: “He has a landline phone and he has a fax, but there’s no cell phone or iPads or things like that – so whether he’s seen the show I don’t know.”
Despite shunning technology and probably never having used zoom, Merchant also told how his trip to America to try talking Christopher into joining the cast was like a “zoom conversation in person”.

He said the legend would pause for thought before speaking again and it was like he was constantly “buffering”.
He added: “I went out to see him in Connecticut where he made me an omelette.
“He’d ask a question and he was very thoughtful, very quiet, quite sort of meditative.
“It was like having a zoom conversation in person – you’re never entirely sure if he was thinking or buffering.”
In the BBC comedy Walken destroys a one-of-a-kind Banksy artwork worth £10million.
Walken and his wife Georgianne have been married for an incredible 54 years.
Georgianne used to work as a casting director for films and TV including The Sopranos, Blind Date, Entourage and King of the Jungle.
She’s also done some acting work and has one credit in The Sopranos from 2006.
